Perfect except the final charge

One of cleanest hotels I have visited. But for some reasons, the final charge is about $20 higher than that I booked in hotels.com

This is a quaint old style motel. It reminds me of traveling with my grandparents on vacations in the 70's. Except this was much nicer. The motel was very clean and you can tell the owners work really hard to keep it fresh and beautiful. The staff was very nice. I would definitely come back here again.

A lovely stay in Franklin

From the greeting of our host to picking up our ice packs that they had kept frozen for us when we left----this was the perfect place to stay, I can't say enough for the cleanliness of this motel. It has been lovingly cared for and is like new. Every need had been anticipated. It was quiet with lovely grounds. We will remember this place and stay there when we're in the area.
