    comfortable bed
    good location
    poor cleanliness
    management issues

    The location was quite good with easy access to restaurants, and the bed was comfortable, but the overall cleanliness left much to be desired. The bathroom was less than ideal, and there were some issues with management, though the A/C worked well. Definitely a mixed experience.

    spacious room
    lovely pool
    friendly check-in
    lack of landscaping

    The spacious Double Room was a pleasant surprise for my family, including our dog. We enjoyed the lovely pool area, and a visit to Rancho Guajome Adobe was a hit with the kids. The quick and friendly check-in made our stay easy.

    In my wife’s opinion, a few more trees and landscaping would boost the charm for families.

    noticeable noise
    cleanliness issues

    The room was spacious, featuring a microwave and mini fridge, which were convenient for our stay. Notably, the front desk staff were helpful and attentive, especially when they quickly provided us with a remote control. However, the wifi was patchy, and noise from adjacent rooms was noticeable. There were also some cleanliness issues that needed addressing.

    thin walls

    The Franciscan Inn Motel offered a pleasant surprise with its spacious Queen Room and artistic wall decor. A cozy corner for relaxation made it a great stopover. Easy access on the ground floor and a reliable shower were additional bonuses.

    Wifi could be patchy at times.

    Not Recommended for Families

    We finally got there after a long car ride and the kids were super tired, but the maid at least had cleaned the room well. The pillows were new and the towels were thick n fluffy, which was nice for some comfort after a rough drive.

    A surprise stay turned sour

    The room was spacious and clean, providing ample space to unwind after a long day. The staff were friendly and accommodating, making check-in a breeze.

    Unfortunately, there were issues with noise from neighboring rooms, which affected my sleep. Additionally, the Wi-Fi connection was unstable at times, causing frustration during my work hours.

    spacious room
    easy access
    clean towels
    bad smell
    no shower head

    The Queen Room was really spacious, but unfortunately, it had a terrible smell and I found some blood on the bathroom door. There was no shower head, which was super disappointing. It felt pretty run down overall. Couldn't sleep at all, and it seemed like a major waste of money.
