What guests think

Across many reviews, Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Franklin is a budget-friendly stop with friendly staff and a convenient location near dining and the Smoky Mountain Performing Arts Center, though the property itself feels older with basic amenities.

Rooms are generally comfortable but often small, and several lack fridges or microwaves; some guests also experienced noise from thin walls and intermittent TV or Wi-Fi issues. Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with reports of musty odors, pests, and maintenance problems such as clogged drains, leaking fixtures, and loose shower rods. Facilities are limited—there is no elevator—and breakfast ranges from adequate to underwhelming with occasional late setup. Overall, expect a simple, no-frills stay focused on value and location.

Biggest issue is no elevator in a 2 story building meant dragging 2 bags up and down stairs. Staff were very friendly but no elevator was still an issue.

The rooms were clean and the service was fine but the overall impression you get is slightly negative. They still have covid mask warnings on the door and a covid “cage” around the check in desk giving the place a slightly seedy feel. The clothes washer was broken which was critical for backpackers. The dryer was working but there was an unfriendly sign warning people not to ask the front desk for quarters to operate their dryer. But still the rooms were clean and I got a much needed night of rest. Better than a hostel? The rooms definitely, the breakfast and laundry service definitely not.

Signage needs improvement. It is difficult to spot the sign for the property, and there is a concrete median meaning you may have to make a u-turn to enter the property.

At check in clerk sent us to a room that the beds were unmade, bed linens in the floor, and the room had not been cleaned. I went down stairs (no elevator) clerk gave me a different room, but went upstairs to check to see if I was telling the truth. No ice or vending machines even though signage indicated a specific area. Labeled storage door adjacent to guest rooms was unlocked open.

Check in was bad. Ask the clerk if there were any accessible rooms for my father, she said no. Now saying that you would have thought when she told us she would have said no elevators. All rooms available were on the second floor. AFTER all checked in was when we were informed there was no elevator. My father uses a walker. Wasnt easy!!! 6:45am, no coffee!!!! NOT happy! Rooms were very clean, plenty of hot water for showers and beds were very comfortable.

This motel has no elevator. No way to know this from the literature. The stairs were unsafe for me. I was not offered another room on the ground floor. The TV did not work. The switch for the bedside light was not reachable from the bed. I will never return to this property.

Roomed smelled of strong cleaning solution, but floor seemed sticky. Tub faucet could not be turned all the way off. Staff said they could have the plumber turn if off harder, but it would still drip. Found two ticks on me within 12 hours that I do not believe I brought in. Staff said they could not have been in the room. Overheard someone else complain of roaches. We moved to another room that seemed somewhat cleaner. When the coffee ran out, staff said "Do you really want more coffee?" Only three small tables for breakfast diners. Mediocre breakfast selection. TV & Wifi cut out about every 5-10 minutes.

the property was terrible, the room stunk like mold and mildew, the floor was damaged and repaired with blue tape, the staff was not interested in the guest. There is no elevator and I was handicapped and on the 2nd floor, we got there right at check in time and they said they could not move our room. COULD NOT WAIT TO LEAVE!!!!

The staff was very helpful. The TV in my first room didnt work, so they moved me to another room. The Dish Network TV system is not good. The picture kept freezing and it would change channels on its own. Strange. The walls are a little thin and I could hear the shower in the next room. The bed was comfortable and clean. I would stay there again.

I have stayed here before and there has been much improvement. The room was clean, updated vinyl flooring (last time my room smelled like pets due to the smeel of the rugs) and the beds and pillow were very comfortable. My only complaint was the noise. The walls were so thin i could hear the man or woman in the next room snoring. At 8 am I was woken up by slamming doors and the house keepers were already vacuuming, not exactly what i want to hear on my vacation. Also plumbing maybe old everytime you turned the shower on a screeching noise sounded and the tub was clogged and filled with water. Breakfast was mediocre but to be expected, there are lots of other options near by.

I booked through Hotels.com, including the need for pet friendly accommodation. When I arrived at the property, I was told I did NOT have a pet-friendly room and that the facility was not aware I was bringing a pet. They increased the cost of my stay by $40 and were basically rude about it.

I had the nerve to ask the lady for a different room instead of the one at the stairs/door which I know to be loud from previous stays. She gave us the worst room in the hotel. Bed facing a blank wall. TV on side wall. We had to sit sideways on the bed to watch TV. There is one very uncomfortable desk chair. Couldn't plug things into bad wall outlets (cords just fell out). Bathroom with sink with no counter at all. We've stayed here a number of times and had nice big rooms. This one was tiny. Double bed not even a queen! Horrible. She didn't care one bit that night or the next mourning. Never stay here again!

When we arrived to check in. There was no one at the front desk, we waited closed to 20 minutes. Another guest arrived, she had the direct phone # so she called. The night desk person answered the phone. He was setting in the back with headphones on and playing videos games. So he never heard us come in or knock on the glass window. We had request a first floor room in advance. He told us we couldn't have a room on the first floor because they were being painted. He ended up allowing us to have a 1st floor room. When he was putting in my info he didnt save it. I had to give him my info again then he mixed it up with the other guest he had just checked in. Very unprofessional. The day staff was very nice and helpful. This was the 2nd time we had stay there. May be the last.

The property was very nice and the staff was incredibly friendly. We really enjoyed our stay overall, and for $65 a night you really can't beat it. The room was smaller, which we expected given the name of the hotel and the price, but they utilize the space very well and it feels nice and roomy. Our only complaint was that the walls were very thin and we could here our next door neighbors tv and their conversation pretty easily. It made us not want to talk too loud in case they could hear us easily too. The continental breakfast was excellent, and included a waffle maker, silver dollar pancake maker and plenty of fruits, yogurts, hard boiled eggs, cereal and more. We will definitely make this our spot when we visit Franklin for our non-camping trips in the winter. You really can't beat it for the price!
