We tried to like it…,,

I wanted to like this place as my memories of Franklin were of a simpler time and I don’t need fancy hotels. (We used to stay in The Franklin before it was closed down). Booked through an online site, so that was easy enough and thought the price for 3 nights wasn’t too bad. Upon arrival we found the front door to the office locked., which seemed strange for 530p. There was a phone located on an exterior ledge with a request to call announcing our arrival. After a few minutes someone showed up to check us in. We were on the bottom floor, which now after having read additional reviews, we should have requested upstairs. The floors looked to have been recently replaced and the room actually looked pretty good (for a budget motel). I did not notice a musty smell that some other reviewers had commented on. Maybe the changing of the floors helped to resolve that issue. The mattresses were comfortable. The bathrooms still need some updating. The faucet handles in the tub for the hot and cold water were loose and turning the water off could be tricky, but the shower was very strong, so that was a plus. If this was the extent of our stay, I’m good. The main issue was the noise. It looked like some construction contractors were occupying some of the rooms above ours and the noise (moving of furniture (?) and heavy footsteps) went on through out the night. In noting some of the other reviews, it appears the motel may be used frequently by groups working in the area as some of the other concerns noted regarding 2nd floor noise was what we had experienced. We will likely look to stay elsewhere on our next trip to Franklin but I hope some improvements can be made to The Sapphire Inn to help preserve the small town personality of Franklin.…

Quick Stop Overnight

Excellent stay when my car broke down near Franklin. Was hesitant to stay, but found the rooms to be clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly. Would definitely stay again if in the area. Thanks for the hospitality.

Comfortable little hotel

This hotel was comfortable for a couple nights. It was very clean. It was pet friendly. Walking distance to several restaurants. Wi-Fi available. Comfortable beds. Coffee available in the lobby. It was very reasonably priced.

Met our needs

We were traveling through the Smokey Mountains and only needed one night. The facility was clean, but no "extras." We had a pet with us and they were accommodating. We did have to track down housekeeping for towels as there were none in our room. If passing through, I would stay here again.

Don’t stay here

This is no longer a family friendly motel. Units are old and not kept as clean as they should be. There are other options in Franklin and I recommend you stay elsewhere. Not sure why I need to meet a 200 minimum to simply say - don’t.

Overnight stay

I would stay here again, they have remodeled the rooms, parking is a little tight but all was good and work out. Rooms were clean and neat, office had a funny smell to it that was kind of yucky but, very friendly staff.

Great location to town and places to eat.

Clean rooms, fridges,easy parking, nice people. The rooms in the upper floor have a view of the hill tops. The lower ones are of course closer to the parking area. The people are super friendly. When we were there they were planting spring and summer flowers.

Great last minute place with great rates.

I came into town to gem mine for the weekend. Most of the hotels were $100 or more. I found this place for almost half that price. I wasn’t expecting much because of the price but was very pleasantly surprised. Clean room, no bugs, which is a deal breaker for me, beds were ok. Mexican restaurant across the street. You can do a load of laundry for $4.00. I happened to bring my laundry with me. 10 min away from a bunch of mines. I had a great weekend and plan on going back to do it again. Although I didn’t bring my dogs they are also pet friendly. Wish I had brought them.
