I wasn’t sure what to expect from our stay at the Francis, but it was an extremely charming, clearly brand new contact list, Hotel. We stayed in the Gardener room, and really enjoyed it. Definitely did not feel like a typical hotel. Check in and check out were seamless, location is perfect, thank you!

This contactless hotel was fantastic! Our room was beautiful with exposed brick and thoughtful design. We loved the comfortable bed & excellent shower. There is also a lovely courtyard with a cool sculpture. The location is great & very walkable. We loved this place!
