Not a clean hotel!
This hotel is not an 8 rating. This has to be one of the worst hotels that we have ever experienced. First, the room has not seen an update since it was built in the 80's, or maybe 70's. The bed was so uncomfortable. We didn't get there until around 1am so we did not leave. We had to bite the bullet and stay. The worst part was when my daughter went in the bathroom and came right back out and said there are 3 roaches in there. We normally would leave, but it was so late and we'd been driving all day. We didn't unpack. We only saw roaches in the bathroom. The microwave and fridge are in there also. The whole room just felt not clean. We canceled the rest of our stay, and moved to a hotel in the next town. We needed to stay 3 nights. My in-laws also had the same problem but with empty beer bottles in the closet. Hotels.com understood and helped with getting a different hotel. Please avoid this hotel at all costs! I wish I could leave negative stars.

I have stayed a few times at this hotel, and while the staff is helpful, and attentive, the property itself is in need of renovations. Rooms are clean, and comfortable. Breakfast is outstanding. However, in the last two years, I have visited three times.. and the pool has NEVER been open. The website should be updated. There is no excuse not to have it open in JULY!

It was an amazing. We really went there expecting the worse. But boy was we wrong. From the front desk to the room, the service, and the breakfast was off the chain good. I have me complaints. Our next visit to Franklin we will be staying at the Forrest.
