Wonderful spot! Room was super clean, bed was very comfy (I’d say medium soft), blackout curtains worked great. Excellent location too. We were in town for a show at the Moody Center and this was very convenient. Would definitely stay again!

If you like unique boutique hotels you must stay here!! So much good to say about the property and its location. Brittany one of the Inn keepers went out of her way to make us feel comfortable and to help me find an allergy friendly restaurant we could walk to for lunch. The only complaint was the lack of parking. Otherwise everything was above expectations! We will absolutely stay here again.
The loft room # 15. Our friends stayed in this one it was so cool!
Our room #4. I absolutely loved the colors and the vibe.
Our room. So clean and neat.
The beautiful courtyard outside our room. The property offered coffee with a Jura coffee maker and a fridge with water and oat milk. How thoughtful!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Frances Modern Inn. It was a perfect location for our needs. And our suite was very clean, tastefully decorated and very comfortable. We also really appreciated the keyless entry to the property and our room and the complimentary water and sparkling water in our room. There is limited on site parking but such was only a minor inconvenience.

Great nights sleep

Cute, cozy hotel. I arrived at 9pm and left at 5am so I was there to sleep. The beds were very comfortable. It’s self check-in from 6pm-6am so I saw no one at the hotel that worked there but my interactions via text were fine. I appreciate the large bottle of water in the mini fridge and the fact that there was a mini fridge.

One of the most beautiful places I've ever stayed in! This quaint little hotel was beautifully decorated and had a community patio that had complimentary drinks and several board games and tarot cards that were free to use as well. Our room and bathroom were GORGEOUS. They provide Hulu on their smart TV which was a nice plus. The hotel is also located by several shops and bars that are within walking distance. They only have four parking spots behind the building, but there's street parking around the area and a parking lot a few blocks down where they pay for your parking. All in all, we had a wonderful stay and are looking forward to returning many times in the future!

Overall fantastic, convenient stay. There are several gems around in terms of dining/drinks. The bed was very soft, which gave me some back problems, just based on my physiology. Parking in the back is very tight. Just some things to know.
