Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Property and room were very clean and comfortable. The one thing I wasn’t aware of is there is no staff on site if you check in after 5:00pm. I had to call the number on the front door, download an app and complete several steps to access my room via phone. Once I got through that, the rest I’m of the stay was fine. The location was convenient with a restaurant/bar across the street and other stores within close walking distance.

I recently stayed at the Franklin Hotel during a solo deer hunting trip to Martha's Vineyard. Loved the cleanliness of the entire property and of my room. Though it took a bit to get used to, I also loved the automated check-in process. Front door was locked, but to be fair I am sure it was because of the snow; back door was used instead and worked just fine. Now, I know it was off season, but I also loved the privacy and quietness of the hotel overall. Didn't get to see much of the staff, but they kept everything, clean and ran a tight ship. They also did a fantastic job responding to a bad snowstorm by clearing out the parking lot and hotel entrances and stairs very quickly. Loved the location of the hotel. Overall, great experience and highly recommended. I plan on staying here again when I visit Martha's Vineyard in the future.

Everything was great! There are 2 things that would greatly improve The Franklin Hitel experience.The front door was broken and you could not enter through it. Side door code was used. Second, there should be flatware in the kitchen as many guests heat food in the microwave. Many thanks for a most enjoyable stay!

Loved every minute of our stay at this property. We would highly recommend it and will be back. If you can, get the single cottage option in the back of the property but any room would be great here.
