The Frances Modern Inn

One word - OUTSTANDING. We have been visiting Austin while on business and my boss picked this hotel. Rooms done with care . Staff so Friendly and make you feel at home. Room’s. Decor done with taste . We love it . We will be back as many times as possible Ahhh and how could I almost forget to mention the coffee, water and tea station right outside your room. The lovely little rooftop is awesome at night. Lovely.

In my selection of places to stay when travelling I am extremely discriminating. Frances Modern Inn met ALL my expectations. The rooms are impeccably (and whimsically) decorated. Every fixture in the bathroom is high end -great shower, btw; Toto toilet! It was the cleanest hotel room I have EVER stayed in. I didn't even spot a stray hair from a previous guest in the bathroom (don't you hate that? Eww!) One of my favorite features about the room was the lovely small balcony! It's so rare to find hotel rooms that are not hermetically sealed and allow for fresh air to come in. Plus it was nice to stand out on it and view the eclectic action on the street below. The Inn is only about a mile from downtown and the neighborhood is authentic, definitely has a quirky Austin vibe, which I like - nothing "touristy" about it. I had read reviews that complained about party noises from the street/neighborhood but it was fairly quiet during my stay. I did see earplugs provided in a jar in the bathroom for the noisy times. The hotel also has keyless entry onto the property and into your room. Property entry is either around back through a small courtyard or in the front through the restaurant during its operating hours. (Due to the schedule of the conference I was attending, I did not get a chance to eat at the restaurant but man, it smelled good!) I truly enjoyed my stay even though I was busy with work-related activities. The owner operates at an A+ level. She is happy to assist with whatever you need. Lovely!

We were welcomed by Vicky, the owner, and made to feel immediately at home. The hotel rooms are well appointed and beautifully cleaned. We had a wonderful stay

An amazing stay at the Frances Modern Inn. Highly encourage you checking them out. I travel nearly every week and often stay in the big brand properties - predicable, sometimes good, often average. This place has so much character, and the owner gave us a great run down of Austin when we arrived. Rooms are all unique, have balconies, and a great patio area right out your front door - with sodas, coffee, and comfortable coaches and seating available. Super spot to begin or end your day with a glass of wine. Neighborhood gives you easy walking access to PaperBoy, Franklins and so so many other great dining and shopping options. Rooms come with a fridge, cold water, and great bathrooms with nice tubs and showers. A gem of a place !

Wonderful spot! Room was super clean, bed was very comfy (I’d say medium soft), blackout curtains worked great. Excellent location too. We were in town for a show at the Moody Center and this was very convenient. Would definitely stay again!

If you like unique boutique hotels you must stay here!! So much good to say about the property and its location. Brittany one of the Inn keepers went out of her way to make us feel comfortable and to help me find an allergy friendly restaurant we could walk to for lunch. The only complaint was the lack of parking. Otherwise everything was above expectations! We will absolutely stay here again.
