The staff was great. Just needed a no frills place to lay my head for the night. That's what I got. A good, average hotel room at a decent price.

You get what you pay for
The room was ok except the work didn’t work inside the room (tried multiple devices). The staff said they would look into it but nothing happened as far as I could tell. Also they charged me like 10 more dollars than my reservation that was supposed to already include all the fees.

HORRIBLE
Room smelled old. I was charged a $10 cleaning fee extra I wasn't aware of. TV didn't work. Shower broken. This place should be demolished. Seemed like a place for prostitutes and drug attics. I wouldn't recommend this place to dead people.

This hotel is unique with a certain charm that you don't find with larger hotel chains.This hidden gem has more of a mom and pop feel to it. I like places like this, where the rooms have more of a " cottage feel" rather than every room looking the same. We hen your in the mood to stay somewhere more off the beaten path, choose The Franscian.

I was very impressed with the gentleman that checked me in at the front desk. He was friendly and very helpful, much nicer than other front desk greeters I have come across in North County hotels.
