We had a wonderful weekend at the Franklin Street Inn! Judy was such a great hostess and made us feel right at home the minute we walked through the door. The Suite (Turret) was amazing, clean and relaxing! We felt so pampered! Breakfast was brought up every morning exactly when we wanted it. Judy was so gracious enough to make things with my Gluten Free bread and it was absolutely amazing! Thank you for a wonderful stay Ron and Judy! We will definitely be back!

Very nice historically preserved home, well maintained, and very clean. A step back to the past. The turret room is very spacious - taking up the entire third floor. Breakfast in the turret in the morning sun is quite the experience and the food was well prepared and unique but customized menu (my wife has many food allergies which Judy was very very accommodating). Excellent service and location.

5 out of 5Magical Memory
February 13, 2013
Our stay at the Franklin Street Inn was indeed magical. We stayed in the Turret Room that was decorated in the Royal Theme and we felt like royality in this enchanted room. It had several little relaxing nooks that we escaped to and disconnected from the outside world. It was very quiet and we were able to enjoy wonderful conversation without interruptions. Ron and Judy were very gracious hosts, explained directions thoroughly and had directions in the room for the spa, CD player and fireplace so we could reference them as needed. The breakfast was served in the turret which was spectacular. It was delicious, hot, and presented in a picture perfect way that you felt this strange guilt sticking your fork into it. But it was well worth destructing it with the fork. The taste sensation was definitely palate pleasing. We had no complaints about our magical stay. We were treated like royality from the time we stepped into the house and felt very refreshed as we departed.

4.8 out of 5Wonderful Romantic Place
January 09, 2013
This visit was my 4th time at the inn. We were on our 11th Wedding Anniversary. It was wonderful. We stayed in the Turret room. It's a castle, Queen and King, themed room that will just take your breath away. Everything is taken care of. Whirlpool tub, wonderful comfortable bed, cute turret breakfast area. It's wonderful. The food was excellent. The innkeepers very friendly and informative. Great place to stay.
5 out of 5A tru gem
December 13, 2012
Our visit to The Franklin Street Inn was truly a memorable experience, and one we hope to repeat. From the moment we entered the beautiful foyer we felt we were among friends. Our room was immaculate, the food delicious (and prepared perfectly for my special diet requirements), We slept well on the comfortable bed, and the decorations (for Christmas in this case), were elegant. The inkeepers were gracious hosts as well. All in all, a most satisfying getaway.
