Nice Stay at Franklin New York
BySpartydad
fromMichigan
PostedApril 3, 2025
Yes, I recommend this property.
This hotel was conveniently located as our son moved in just 2 blocks away. VERY warm welcome from staff. Very nostalgic elevator and the hotel had a lot of history. I am glad it's part of the IHG portfolio. I had a cozy queen room and it was very small and not what I was expecting. Parking an oversize vehicle in the area was a problem and expensive as well. I would stay here again!!
Reason for visit:Moved our son into the neighborhood
ProsLocation, Connects you to the destination, recognition for ihg rewards club members
Consvery small room and hard to park

Construction Stay!!
Yes, I recommend this property.
I used a lot of my IHG points for this weekend only to find a bigger than expected construction project going on. No pool available, no workout room available, limited dining, could NOT find parking and parked up hill behind building. They did offer alternatives off site for pool and workout...not convenient. Equipment moving around and back up beeping starting at 8am. I was disappointed in my stay. In our room you could hear EVERYTHING through the walls and in hallway.
