Franklin Terrace Bed and Breakfast

Franklin Terrace Bed and Breakfast

8/10 Good
"I had never been to a bed-and-breakfast before, and this was a pleasant first experience. The furniture and decor and charm of what you would expect were all there. Including olden dolls and stuffed animals lol The breakfast buffet served in the morning was pretty impressive. A lot of options and everything was tasty. It does start at 8am, so you early risers might not enjoy that. The screened in bottom patio and open second floor patio were really nice with lots of seating. I will say that the room itself was a bit smaller than expected (I think I booked the smallest 1 bed) I also barely fit in the shower… So I’m not sure how larger adults would fare in there….The sheets and comforter were recognizably thin. Mattress a little lumpy but I still slept decently. Clean property and aside from some pretty old furniture, it looked maintained."
