Just got back from a long weekend at the Franklin Victoria Inn with my mom and grandma, and had a fabulous time. The Inn itself is really comfortable, clean, historic, and close to loads of bike trails.
We booked two rooms. Each room had a nicely furnished bathroom (complete with amazingly comfortable robes and slippers), a little seating area, and all the supplies needed for a relaxing weekend. There was even a little beverage and snack area in the hallway-so we could grab a soda, cookie, or bottle of water at any hour of the day. The rooms are TV free (which was fine by me), but the Inn has a TV downstairs to share and portable DVD players available for those who want to watch a movie in their rooms. And, the sheets were really soft and wonderful (we have actually been thinking about ordering a few sets for ourselves).
The breakfasts were always interesting and filling. My favorites (of the three breakfasts) included a coconut pineapple porridge and a wild rice quiche. Overall, the food was good, but not fabulous (hence the 4 star rating). We always had a fresh pot of hot coffee delivered to the refreshment bar at 7:30 every morning (which was a nice way to wake up) and they were able to bring our breakfasts to our rooms (which was a really helpful service for our group who couldn't do the stairs very often).
Overall, this place is great and definitely worth a stop next time you are in Sparta!
