1. The Franciscan has a warm inviting homely feel to it , the staff are all very helpful , the rooms are great - (some previous reviews have called them dated but I personally prefer something with a bit of charm rather than a bog standard hotel room ) and the breakfasts were lovely , homemade pastries , muffins etc .

6. When I gave our name, they advised that they had been expecting us the previous day - I'd booked the wrong dates.

7. The Franciscan is OK as motels go, but it's getting somewhat dated and could use a makeover.

8. The room was stuffy, the bedroom portion of the 'suite' was right in front of you, you passed the bathroom and ended up in a kitchen with appliances that probably dated back to the 70's.
