Guest Reviews

• Inspire17021267248 (6/5): Did we stay in the same hotel as the great reviews? No - Did we stay in the same hotel as the great reviews i read? Pros Great location for us. Our daughter lives within walking distance. Room clean, nicely unique. Bathroom is very nice Staff nice. And rarely seen. There space is a tiny room in the courtyard. Great coffee machine in the shared space outside your room. Nice roof top space Con Book the restaurant far in advance. The greeter was trying to get us a table, but was told no by a boss. No benefit being a “hotel” guest. Bed, good on one side, other side was not the same. Room #9, on 11th st side. Every clown who thinks he drives a nascar car, guns it down the street, late at night with muffler removed. Very loud. Use the earplugs that are in the bathroom. All room doors slam like a bomb. You can hear them from the other rooms. Concrete floors also create a problem as chairs are dragged and make a racket. 1 night this went on for the whole night. Torture. You can access the elevator thru the restaurant, no matter how busy they are, when the restaurant is open If not open, you must walk thru a small parking lot for the liquor store next door, down an alley, past 3 dumpsters and access thru a door that belongs in a prison. Or go in reverse when leaving before they open. One morning we had to walk over broken glass as a truck was in the alley blocking us from getting around the glass. Finally, Payjama coffee meet up, meeting your “hotel” room neighbors at the coffee machine first thing in the morning. We had our access shut off due to a mistake. This happens when they have to remove guests from the lisIf we had returned after 6pm, getting in would have been a mess, as the staff leave then. Leaving early in the morning, dragging out suitcases thru the alley and parking lot, was my last impression. Glad the glass was gone.
• yvonnepG9367FD (10/5): WOW....WHAT A VIBE! - What a nice hotel!! Great location, people, food, bed and decoration. One word.....LOVE!
• Akureview2 (10/5): This hotel is OUTSTANDING. - 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.
• C6514GAsherryw (10/5): I Am Extremely Discriminating! - 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!
• Andrew (10/5): - 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
• David (10/5): - 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 !
• Cristina (10/5): - Located in a lively East Austin neighborhood, the Frances Modern Inn is easy to access (digital locks with keypads) and has lovely common spaces with cold sparkling water, fancy coffee machines, books, and games.
• James (10/5): - 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!
• Evelyn (10/5): - 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.
• KARLTON (6/5): - Not the ideal location
• Jack (10/5): - We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Frances Modern Inn. It was a perfect location for our needs. And our suite was very clean, tastefully decorated and very comfortable. We also really appreciated the keyless entry to the property and our room and the complimentary water and sparkling water in our room. There is limited on site parking but such was only a minor inconvenience.
• Gabriella (10/5): Great nights sleep - Cute, cozy hotel. I arrived at 9pm and left at 5am so I was there to sleep. The beds were very comfortable. It’s self check-in from 6pm-6am so I saw no one at the hotel that worked there but my interactions via text were fine. I appreciate the large bottle of water in the mini fridge and the fact that there was a mini fridge.
• Amy (10/5): - The room was gorgeous and the staff so lovely
• Dana (10/5): - Clean room! Easy check in
• Jennifer (10/5): - Amazing amazing stay! Loved that I took a chance here and stayed. Place was lovely and the owner was so kind! The only issue was the very limited parking.
• Anat (10/5): - What a unique and wonderful experience to stay at this beautiful hotel. The owner and staff have put a lot into this hotel and it shows. Each room has a distinct feel to it. The color scheme and decor to the beautiful little touches.location was perfect and close to dinning, bars & great shopping. We will be back.
• Alexandra (10/5): - One of the most beautiful places I've ever stayed in! This quaint little hotel was beautifully decorated and had a community patio that had complimentary drinks and several board games and tarot cards that were free to use as well. Our room and bathroom were GORGEOUS. They provide Hulu on their smart TV which was a nice plus. The hotel is also located by several shops and bars that are within walking distance. They only have four parking spots behind the building, but there's street parking around the area and a parking lot a few blocks down where they pay for your parking. All in all, we had a wonderful stay and are looking forward to returning many times in the future!
• rachelwK2814DR (10/5): Treat yourself! Book this hotel - This place feels like a hidden gem! After watching the Gilded Age on HBO I planned a small staycation for my hubby and I to celebrate my 40th birthday, and I was not disappointed by our booking! As someone who used to manage short term rentals I can tell this place was thoughtfully designed with a lot of love. It made me want to ask if they were hiring! I loved the vintage drinking glasses, and the design of having small common areas with a much nicer latte machine than you’d normally find en room just steps from your door. We got to try their new restaurant, Siti. It was a little more on the pricey side but I enjoyed the food and left satiated but not overstuffed. Due to a medical issue we had to depart early, and their staff went out of their way to inform me when we left a few items behind and graciously allowed me to come get them same day. I would book this place again in a heartbeat! Oh, I almost forgot to mention we had a partial sunset view of the Capitol, and got to enjoy sounds of live music from across the street! If there was one improvement to suggest they might consider adding a microwave to the shared lounge areas. There’s an adorable market called The Quickie Pickie down the street so I could see grabbing some late night food or reheating leftovers from the restaurant. ❤️
• Taylor (10/5): Really dope place - Phenomenal they are very cool and accommodating and the room was gorgeous
• Billy (10/5): - Lovely communal areas, thoughtful design throughout, comfortable rooms, great beverage self-service for coffee, tea and sparkling waters, and friendly staff. A very nice experience!!!
• Corsi (10/5): - We enjoyed the quaint rooms (except the run in my husband had with the door knocker), the moodiness of the colors and comfort of the spaces.
• Jenny (10/5): - Such a charming place! Check in was seamless, communication and it staff is excellent, and it’s beautifully decorated. Great location as well!
• Keri (10/5): - We loved our stay at the Frances. From the extremely affordable rate and straightforward mobile check-in process to the beautiful and clean rooms to the walkable restaurants and bars and coffee shops nearby, we were so pleased! We will definitely be coming back!
• sean overholt (10/5): - Overall fantastic, convenient stay. There are several gems around in terms of dining/drinks. The bed was very soft, which gave me some back problems, just based on my physiology. Parking in the back is very tight. Just some things to know.
• victorg254 (10/5): Amazing hotel in Austin - Great hotel, best service ever. Vicki and the whole staff the best. Thanks for everything. We will be back soon to stay again in this beautiful hotel.
• Joe (10/5): - This is my go to place when in Austin.
• Andrew (10/5): - One of the best hotels I've ever stayed in!
• Gizmo (10/5): - Very comfortable place. Loved the amenities.
• Terrell (10/5): - AMAZING STAY! Beautiful room!!
• John (10/5): - A really lovely gem in East Austin. A great location - very walkable to tons of great bars and restaurants. Quiet, charming. And Vicki greeted me every day and was just so welcoming and helpful. Probably one of my most favorite hotel experiences.
• kathishah (10/5): Repeat Guest: Why I Always Return to This Austin Gem - Great location - just 2 blocks away from the downtown craziness but very accessible distance for the great food and entertainment of downtown! I should add that this is my 3rd time at the Inn. I love the homely feeling and its a thousand times better than the structured beige of the hotels. The coffee next door (Radio Rosewood) is the best in the area! The owners are so helpful. During my first trip, I forgot an ipad stand that I use for travel and they were very gracious to mail it back. In the second one, I forgot a shirt which they stored for me to pick up.
• Bethany (10/5): - Love the decor, comfy beds, ease of getting in and out of the property and room.
• Robert (10/5): - Wonderful stay. Property and staff were great! I will definitely be back soon!
• dd220786 (10/5): Stylish hotel - The Frances Modern Inn is providing exceptional service from staff. They are most helpful and very responsive to e-mails. Thank you so very much for this. Located on a prime location. The hotel is located on a 30 min walk from downtown. The rooms are stylish and have luxurious amenities, and guests are charmed by the hotel's unique decor. Amenities such as the round-the-clock coffee service and the keyless check inn enhances the experience.
• Joao (10/5): - Awesome place. Easy access, great location, beautifully decorated room and outdoor spaces.
• jwpp2025 (8/5): Solid option in East Austin - Small, self-service hotel in East Austin. Was convenient to my office, which is why I selected it. Rooms are small, but very clean with nice bathrooms and amenities. Rain shower shower head or Euro shower wand. Each floor seemed to have a "porch" on the back (rooms surrounded this porch) with a fridge of waters and drinks and Jura coffee machine for the morning. Would stay there again. No staff on site (restaurant on ground floor reopening day of my departure), but the concierge by text was super responsive, including an early check in.
• Patty (10/5): Fantastic stay - Owner was very responsive, property was very cute, room was clean, and the coffee/tea/water station in the common area was very convenient. Inn was walkable to a lot of popular restaurants and bars. Property provides complimentary parking (4 spots onsite, and more available at offsite lot), which is rare in Austin.
• Jenny (10/5): Great weekend getaway - Stayed here with a friend for a quick girls weekend and so glad we choose The Frances Modern! The hotel is beautiful and we were able to walk to most places. The common areas were welcoming and the complimentary drinks were awesome after a long day of walking around. It was January so too cold for us to actually sit in common area or rooftop, even thought they had small space heaters. Would definitely stay here again if/when we return to Austin.
• Susan (10/5): - A great place to stay in East Austin. Highly recommend it!
• Dajuana (10/5): Love this place! - Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The self Check in and convenient location was fantastic.
• mikewV1890YO (10/5): The authentic Austin experience. - This is an east side treasure. You're getting the authentic Austin experience. Not a chain, run by Austinites who have got great design sense and want you to make the most of your time. Whether you want to have coffee in the cozy communal areas or hit the best bars and restaurants it works. Highly recommended!
• X3643SAselenas (10/5): I'll always stay here when visiting Austin. - An elegant relaxed vibe with charming personal touches throughout. Lovely communal patios with plants and books and coffee machines with capaccinos available anytime of the day. Twinkle lights and the soft burble of water from the fountain on the ground floor. And most important: clean!
• Lisa (10/5): - .
• Christy (10/5): - Convenient to Austin. Franklin BBQ right down the road. Comfortable rooms with great open air common areas for relaxing
• elb831 (10/5): Don’t consider staying anywhere other than here! - I can’t say enough about the Frances Modern Inn. From the minute you walked onto the property you knew you were someplace special. It’s so refreshing to stay somewhere that’s not a cookie cutter of all the generic hotels. The rooms are so unique and the refreshments on the communal patios are the best! Comfy bed, good pillows and a great shower make for a great nights sleep.
• davideP7074PU (10/5): It won’t disappoint - I booked this for my Fiancés birthday and it did not disappoint at all. Having Poeta attached is a nice feature being so close. I stayed in room 2 and it was just perfect. The decor is not something you see at a typical hotel, the rainfall showing felt great and there was a small balcony that overlooked the Main Street. On the top of the building there is a rooftop with unobstructed views of downtown. Thank you for helping make it a great experience.
• Miranda (10/5): - This was a really cute Inn. The room was well decorated, clean, great lighting options, nice bathroom and shower, good soaps and lotion, nice bed and bedding, good curtains and cute balcony. My only issue was the parking but I had a car for my stay because of traveling out of Austin. This would be a great place to stay and just uber around if needed. Plenty nearby to do. But doable once you get the parking down.
• X1058NEerics (10/5): Incredible boutique hotel with eclectic Austin vibe - Absolutely fell in love with this little gem of a hotel on Austin's east side, highly recommend! The little eclectic touches made it feel like a true Austin boutique, can't wait for my next staycation there. The room was elegant with an amazing soaking tub, and loved the shared community space with coffee, books and waters avail 24/7.
• anastasiacG5801RX (10/5): Intentional and incredible! - Everything about the The Frances Modern Inn was wonderful - from the intentional details, the service, the location, it was one of my favorite places I've ever stayed! The vintage charm was such a fun addition and it felt like staying at a fun Airbnb but with all the benefits of being at a hotel.
• barretty2024 (10/5): Comfortable, clean, affordable, cute! - Our room had the most comfortable bed/sheets/pillows. We are asking them what they use. Clean, cheap for the location, great coffee machine, and walking to Paperboy was great. Common area and roof were fun hangs too. I highly recommend this place.
• samantha (10/5): - Really loved our stay at this hotel! I would highly recommend this spot to anyone coming to Austin. The staff was very quick to answer any questions and were super helpful.
• Peter (10/5): - Beautiful decor, well arranged room, great location, excellent service, they communicate well. great rooftop
• 16lindseyd (10/5): Awesome Experience! - Our stay was so wonderful! My husband and I went for my work holiday party and stayed for a few extra days. Although there's no traditional front desk you can walk up to, the staff was incredibly helpful and everyone was so friendly when we would see them in the hallways. They definitely went above and beyond! My husband was most impressed with the awesome coffee machine and soda waters available 24/7. We loved the rooftop and common areas on each floor and hung out with a coworker and her husband who were also staying in the hotel. There's a great little convenience store/bar/sandwich and taco shop place right at the corner, food trucks across the street, shops, bars and restaurants in the area. It's walkable to so much! Overall a great experience and will definitely be back :)
• Natasha (10/5): - They thought of every amenity possible. Great location and neighborhood. Relaxed and plenty of space to chill and enjoy a coffee or tea. Great room and bathroom. Awesome rooftop deck to enjoy city views. Really nice place to stay.
• BackPacker813882 (10/5): We rented the entire space for our wedding weekend and it was incredible! - If I could give The Frances Modern Inn 100 stars I would! Vicki and her team are incredible and made our stay so memorable. We booked the entire hotel for our wedding weekend, with our wedding party staying in the rooms, and held our welcome reception and farewell brunch in the event space. The team pivoted quickly when we had a surprise chilly weekend and put out heaters for our guests and even brought in a fire pit! The hotel itself is beautiful, so unique and so much character in the decor. All of our guests raved about their rooms! The communal spaces on each floor are so welcoming with coffee and tea for our guests, and it was so much fun having everyone in our wedding stay together. Poeta was also delicious for a family meal before everyone arrived! Easy walking to downtown. Many of our guests walked over to Franklins BBQ during their stay which is under 5 minute walk from the hotel. If you are debating staying here DO IT! You will not be disappointed. We cannot wait to come back!!
• Janie (10/5): Perfect staycation location - The hotel is so intimate and lovely and ask the details are so thoughtful. So clean and friendly and inviting. Will def recommend and return! Xo
• 324emilyh (10/5): Exceeded all of our expectations! - The Inn far exceeded our expectations! We were so warmly welcomed, personally shown to our room which was AMAZING! There is still and sparkling water available and coffee too. When we said we didn't drink coffee, they prepared an entire basket of teas for us to use! Everyone who worked there was kind and thoughtful and helpful. We loved the communal spaces - balconies, rooftop and courtyard. It was such a charming, quirky, wonderful place to stay for the Thanksgiving break. We will definitely be back when we visit our son again.
• cassidyb660 (10/5): Can I Live Here? - This was the hotel of my dreams. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience & have never stayed at another hotel like it. I’ve never walked into a room and felt such joy. The bed was so comfortable (the heavy blanket in the closet was a bonus) & the shower / bathroom was incredible. Loved the dimmable lights. This place took my breath away. I loved being able to grab a sparkling water (for free) & the easy check-in process. I never interacted with anyone in-person and yet I felt more of a connection with the associate that was texting me than I have with other places I’ve stayed. If I could’ve extended my stay, I would’ve. Great location & close to amazing restaurants!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Fun get away - Was a great little hideaway!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Amazing for new moms - The staff was overly accommodating and so kind. I'm a breastfeeding mother and they went out of their way to ensure I had what I needed. The rooms were extremely comfortable and well designed. The bed was very comfortable. Will definitely stay again!
• lisasV3963HC (10/5): A beautiful Oasis in the City - A Fantastic hotel. It was really a treat. Great design in rooms and a friendly and professional staff. Lots of good restaurants nearby. Downtown is quite close. Highly recommend. Will certainly make a return trip. Despite the fact that there was no traditional front desk, checking in and out was quite easy.
• A5671VIrebeccab (10/5): A jewel box oasis! - Immaculately clean, calm, soothing stay - so appreciative for the decor and amenities! The hosts are gracious and accommodating, and I'd absolutely stay again. I was particularly appreciative of the small touches - especially the coffee station and the toiletries, and I fully recommend taking in a sunset from the roof!
• notm167 (10/5): The Go To hotel in Austin - Always a great experience. Professionally run and guest focused. Responsive to any need. Extremely comfortable environment. The recently opened restaurant, Poeta is a great addition. Top-shelf Italian cuisine. The place to stay when in Austin!
• 702langstonc (10/5): The best of the best. - This is my absolute favorite hotel/Inn of all time. The rooms are gorgeous, and the service is outstanding. Whenever my wife and I visit Austin, this is our go-to spot. Also, make sure you check out the restaurant Poeta. The brunch is outstanding.
• ivette21 (10/5): Great experience - Excellent experience! The Frances Modern Inn is so beautiful and unique! Proximity to some great restaurants and downtown Austin is very convenient. Love how unique every room is. So many areas to unwind. Free coffee at your disposal and soda water. You will feel spoiled and at home at the same time. Very friendly service. We will be back!
• haleyh581 (10/5): Cutest Hotel Ever - Came to Austin for one day of ACL Festival. Drove in from Dallas so had my car...parking was super convenient as all spots were open upon arrival. This is the cutest hotel I have ever seen. Easiest check-in/out process and such friendly employees. My stay was way too short, need to go back!! Highly recommend this to anyone and everyone.
• Beverly (10/5): - The accommodations were terrific and the hotel staff was excellent. The room was large and very quiet and the bath/ shower area felt luxurious. We especially loved grabbing the coffee on the second floor patio area, sitting in the chairs and relishing the morning breeze...it was a nice way to meet other interesting hotel guest also enjoying the morning.
• Teena (8/5): - Room was very nice and comfortable. Parking was tight but we parked off site and hotel covers off site parking which was covered by hotel.
• Trisha (10/5): - Gorgeous interior room and property design. My stay was great. The area is loud but I slept through most of the night.
• Maxwell (10/5): - Beautiful property (both the room itself and common areas) also a great location
• Layne (10/5): - Amazing place to stay for a weekend getaway with my spouse - Very unique and great location. We can’t wait to go back!
• Verified traveler (10/5): So Great - Great place. Will stay again.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Just what I needed! - My stay was too short, but they cover every detail for the most relaxing and comfortable stay. I could go on and on. Andrew was so patient with me, getting me settled in, answering my questions. I was unable to visit the restaurant but the vibe was great and customers were having a great time. Looking forward to going back for a much longer stay.
• Trevor (10/5): Fun place to stay - We were here for our wedding anniversary. We stayed at this location a couple of years before COVID-19 when it was Hotel 11, and my wife loves the deep soaker tub in the larger rooms. Unfortunately, we were not aware of the fact that some renovations to the ourside of the property were taking place when we made the reservation. Fortunately, it did not affect our stay, as the workers were very nice, and since my wife and I are fluent in both Spanish and Portuguese, we made sure to communicate with them in their native tongue (Spanish) to let them know what room we were in if they needed us to move our vehicle for them for any reason (they did not need us to). We also spoke to one of them who was working on a new outside decorative fountain in the courtyard for a little while. He was doing excellent tile work and he was super nice! Vicki, Andrew, and Cassie from the hotel were great! The restaurant (Poeta) was fabulous! We split a Caesar salad. We normally do not eat croutons but these were NOT ordinary croutons! Although I still limited myself, they were fresh, homemade, buttery, and delicious!!! I had the branzino and my wife had some of the fresh made pasta. Simply, wonderful!
• Julio (10/5): - Boutique Hotel, 15 rooms, clean, good customer service, outside expressi coffe. And a very good Italian restaurant down stairs.
• Christina (10/5): - This place was so cute and perfect! The staff was amazing!! Will be back!!

• Benjamin (10/5): - Perfect!
• Ian (10/5): - Beautiful property. Amazing staff. Will be using this hotel going forward when staying in Austin!
• Hanna (10/5): - Absolutely loved this stay! Such a peaceful boho vibed place! The decor was top tier so cute! The staff were all friendly people to us.
• Bethany (10/5): - Frances Modern Inn was a great choice for our stay in Austin - we didnt realise when we booked but the area around the hotel ended up being our favourite area in Austin, lots of great bars and food options (bbq,tacos and brunch places) within 10 minute walk. Its a self service check in but the staff were so freindly and always checking in via the messaging service to check everything was okay and offfering suggestions if we needed! We booked a small room as we were only staying for a few days but were moved to a bigger room when we arrived to give us more space, which was a really lovely touch. As a more boutique/self service hotel there arent many amenities but there's a communal seating area with coffee machine/fridge with cold waters available and games/books - a really appreciated touch in the summer heat. We saw two rooms and which were both decorated nicely and the bathrooms seem recently redone to a very high standard - amazing rainfall showers and lovely smelling refillable products.
• Edwin (10/5): - Easy check in. Off Parking is walkable and free. Love the vibe. Rooms are beautifully decorated.
• Iain (10/5): Best Staycation ever - Wonderful experience - we had a staycation to celebrate our anniversary and the owners were so kind to arrange flowers and a bottle of champagne on arrival. The room was spectacular - a vintage chic vibe that whisked us away to 1920’s Paris. We ordered food from Poeta (the restaurant linked to the hotel) and it was excellent. The food was delicious but also great value for money. Can recommend this gem enough
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The hotel was very cozy, clean, and had beautiful rooms. The hotel was well maintained and had wonderful service and staff.
• Sandra (10/5): - Everything was great
• Pamela (10/5): - Very clean and extremely friendly staff, especially Vickie! She even came out to meet us in the offsite parking lot.The only negative was the parking, but that’s the nature of downtown Austin. Even though the parking wasn’t great, we will be back. This is our new hotel for stays in Austin! Thank you Frances Modern for an enjoyable getaway.
• Travis (10/5): - Beautiful hotel, great location, excellent customer service
• Carla (10/5): - We loved staying here. The location worked great for us in this charming inn. We would highly recommend it. The wonderful first floor restaurant is a bonus. We will definitely stay here again when in Austin.
• Emily (10/5): - This is perfect place to stay if you are visiting Austin .
• Meghan (10/5): - I had such a wonderful experience at The Frances Modern. The staff was friendly and helpful, and I especially loved the keyless access to the building and my room. And the decor is so lovely - truly a special place!
• katie (10/5): Lux and Lovely - Absolutely lovely accommodations. The room is charming with a huge bathroom and the most comfortable bed and pillows. The balcony opens up to the street overlooking the neighborhood and the big heavy doors are very safe and block out the noise. The black out curtains work really well too! I appreciate the fridge in the room and I love the coffee available with the communal space in the breezeway. Although I never saw any staff, they were great to communicate via text and very helpful. The property is spotless and full of great murals and decor. I highly recommend for anyone not wanting to be downtown or on Congress!
• Oliver (10/5): - A charming and elegantly designed boutique hotel…it was a dream!
• Amanda Helen (10/5): - The Frances Modern Inn is hands down the only hotel i ever wanna stay in, downtown. The room was so gorgeous, close to everything, parking was easy, and Vicki literally greeted us and walked us to our room upon arrival. It is so stinking cute at every turn. My partner and I are already plotting on a trip back.
• William (10/5): - Very nice place, courteous staff, Peota was an amazing dining experience. Really like the unique atmosphere and styling, the outdoor communal lounge area felt like being in a different country. Definitely recommend over chain hotels and the cleanliness and conveniences rivaled the finest establishments.
• Alex (10/5): - Staff are incredibly helpful and kind. Rooms are beautiful with thoughtful touches. It's close to nickel city and paperboy. Excellent location. The bed and the bedding, excellent.
• Allison (10/5): - Incredible hotel. Recommend highly. Gorgeous interior design. Very clean. Very friendly staff.
• Aida (10/5): - Loved it here. Would stay again 💙.
• Drew (10/5): - I don't leave reviews often enough but had to because I loved this place! Vicki was so helpful and kind and my room was such a vibe. I will definitely be back, hopefully sooner than later.
• Sandi (8/5): - The decor of the rooms and common areas is beautiful and everything was high-quality.
• Andrew (10/5): - A cool, unique property in East Austin.
