The rooms are big, beds are very soft and comfortable and each room has a small refrig. and microwave as well as cable... More

Stayed there several years ago and it was nice. This last week we had reservations. When I called the front desk indicated they were almost booked up. When we got there no one else was staying there. That was my first red flag. We went in the room and pulled back the sheets and there was hair on them, not... More

We have stayed there the past four years on our annual visit to Franklin. It appears to have changed management/ownership. It was never fancy but has been comfortable and affordable. It has really been let go from last visit until now. During our stay we found fleas and flea bits the next morning and we checked out. The woman at... More

The Sapphire Inn suited my needs for the trip- a clean place to stay with free internet. After an unpleasant experience at another North Carolina motel, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this place offered a much better experience at a lower price. The inn isn't new or fancy but it was clean. It seems to be locally owned... More

This is a very nice motel, good value, good beds, and nice people that works there, check in and out was very fast and easy. There is only one thing that I would change. When we arrived there was only 1 bath towel and one hand towel in the room. We did ask for more and housekeeping brought them to... More

We didn't have a horrible experience, but it's just nothing about this hotel is even average. The room had a bad smell (like an old RV). There were cobwebs in the corners. The smoke detector was disconnected. The body towels were the size of the ones a salon uses on your hair and were half the thickness. Let's just say... More

This hotel is older and could use some updating, but the room was clean and very roomy. It is locally owned and operated. The large room had a 2 chairs and a small table. It had a mirco/fridge. The tv was small, I think a 19" but had many channels. Breakfast has hot and cold cereal, individually packaged pastries, orange... More
