Top Nantahala National Forest Hotel Reviews

Microtel Inn by Wyndham Franklin

10/10 Excellent

"Didn't use any of the amenities. We were just looking for a place to spend the night. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable."

Franklin Terrace Bed and Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"We only stayed one night as we were traveling through. It’s a beautiful historic home inside and out. The staff was very helpful. We didn’t go to breakfast as we stayed in and rested, but I’m sure it was good. Will stay again when we are in the area."

Hampton Inn Franklin

8/10 Good

"It was clean, quiet and conveniently located. On the downside, the USB outlets were not powered up and the one lounge chair was big enough to hold a 300 lb individual but not comfortable for someone half that size. Also, being connected with the Hilton Chain the entire property could use a major remodel."
