    comfortable room, Judy and Ron are so personable and accomodating. I travel fior business and they worked with me to fit breakfast into my schedule and to make sure I felt familiar enough with the town to walk and dine in the nicest restaurants in the area. I had a great stay there and would go back in a heartbeat! It's fun to be there when Judy is trying new recipes for her cookbooks! I was a complete stranger but feel like I would return as a friend.

    Wonderful stay

    We spent one night at the Franklin St. Inn. The rooms were very well decorated, fannel sheets, and nice themes. The spa was nice, but not your typical "hot tub". Our hosts very nice.
