Came here on Christmas Eve with my in-laws, had a fantastic meal everyone really liked there meals service was outstanding as well

If you want hot wings, THIS IS THE PLACE!!!! We ordered the buffalo wings. Perfect!!! They kept them whole and had the perfect amount of sauce and hotness and were cooked amazingly well. We were so impressed that we even left the cook an extra tip! Our waitress Caitie was also super friendly and prompt even while training the new waitress Ashley who was also great! She made sure everything was to our liking. . Going back again soon!!!! We will be bringing friends!!!! read more

Clean and available rooms with great service and a bar on n the back of the hotel best gem around the thumb read more

Franklin Inn & Lounge - Enjoying all Bad Axe has to offer! - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Bad Axe, Michigan

This place says theirs free donuts in the morning and they didn't have them out like what the heck!! Like I'm frickin starving damn

I normally don't like Spear Ribs...but they were On the Buffet,the meat just fell off the bone, absolutely wonderful

Stayed a Saturday night, with my husband. Wouldn't recommend staying here. Isn't the worst hotels I've stayed at but this one is bad. I had called early this morning and asked if we could get our room and the lady said yes. so when we get there at about 11 AM and we are given the key to my room we arrive and we realize that they had not taken the old sheets off the bed. we had to walk back to the front desk and tell them that our room wasn't ready. We unloaded our luggage and when we got to our room the cleaning lady went in and we pranced around the hallway until she was done.... But we never saw her come our nor were we told "I'm sorry, it's ready now!" We ended up just going in and realizing she left the damn room without saying a word..,What a bad foot! And maybe it was just the time that they were all cleaning because it was 11 AM but pretty much every other door was open and being cleaned, but no one was in there? (No cleaning ladies) The quality of sheets feels uncomfortable and the AC is loud. TV shows don't even fit the TV screen... I am writing this as I am sitting in my bed in the hotel. I hope I don't have anything worse to say about this run down place... The Holiday Inn Express 1 mile northwest is 10x better and worth the extra money.... Regret paying these people. read more

This is for the restaurant. The Saturday night buffet hit the spot. Even though we hit it late the food, especially the carved prime rib was tender and juicy. Some things looked a bit tired in their trays but we were there at 8pm so it was not unexpected. Friendly service and a good deal to boot. read more

Pretty decent restaurant. Food was good. Service was great. Would be five stars for bad axe.

Decent place to stayed. If stay 3 or more nights you get a discount if you pay for all 3 or more nights. Fridge in the room big no microwave. There is a public microwave in the public corridor. My room was kind of in a sort of disrepair and the chairs in the rooms are not the best. Had the Mexican buffet on Tuesday night was ok meat was rather dry. And the Mexican food was rather limited. read more

I had the buffet for the first time today. The salad bar had everything you would want out of a salad bar to include potato salad, spaghetti salad, cottage cheese etc. the hot bar carried a good selection of meat and sides. The dessert bar had a few items to choose from, in my opinion it was the only thing that could use a little work but the items available were decent in taste. It's a clean restaurant with fast, friendly staff. I'll definitely be visiting again! read more

Ordered a T-bone and a stuffed potato with chives. Waitress had never heard of a T-bone and had no idea what chives were. read more

The Franklin is the best place in town. Food always great. Super cheap prices. Friendly clean place to hang.

Stayed here overnite for work assignment. Funky old odor in rooms like sweat. Ate some Fried Fish and Chicken at the buffet they set up for our company...was OK, except the mashed tasted powdery. Didn't go in the bar since I had some beer in a cooler in my room but my co-worker did and seemed to enjoy it. read more

Not sure why the other reviews on this buffet were positive other than maybe this is the best bad axe has to offer and people have such low standards that this food is acceptable. Bland food and the usual cheap-out options like canned corn, canned beans, & canned gravy - nothing special here. Lasagna & perch were adequate. Didn't try the desserts but they looked pretty low budget. Drinks at the bar were decent and bartender was nice. I wouldn't waste the money on the buffet - if you want cheap food just go to McDonald's and save some money. read more

I had the pleasure of enjoying the Saturday Night Buffet. The food was very good, it had a wide variety, and the prime rib just absolutely melted! Delicious. read more

This hotel is absolutely awful. Not only are the beds rock hard but the staff is extremely rude. Their "free" breakfast is nothing but stale doughnuts. We were awoken in the middle of the night accused of smoking in our room. We were threatened with being thrown out in the middle of the night. The member of the staff who accused us of smoking refused to listen at all when I invited him in to smell for smoke. They are falsely charging us a $250 cleaning fee which we will be contesting in court. Absolutely the worst place I've ever stayed and that is saying something. He also insulted a disabled woman for being slow. My advice is stay far away from this place. The Ameriwainn is much nicer and in the same price range. The hotel is infested with bed bugs and the bath tub drain does not work properly. The bed frames they use are too big for the mattresses which has resulted in many wounded shins. This place is definitely NOT a pet friendly hotel. DO NOT STAY HERE. read more

We had a room booked for a wedding at the inn. The food was good. The rooms are dated, no coffee pot or hair dryer in the room. The shampoo was in ketchup like packets, but the room was cheap. It was clean, although you could still smell smoke from when they allowed smoking. There was a small cube fridge in the room and the room was spacious. Probably would not stay there for leisure. The furniture was really worn, the finish was peeling off the cabinet. read more

nice clean place to stay the weekend. rooms were clean and beds were made properly. the place is kinda dated so it doesnt have modern items in it but it'll do for its purpose. they have a cute outside area with several chairs & tables so u can chill or eat outside (which we did.) we saw some deer in the forest as we were eating too! the breakfast in the morning was pretty good too! it was quite cheap so i was surprised cuz they dont have those prices in chicago! thanks franklin inn! read more

the hotel staff were fine. for the most part. ( depends on the shift ) rooms were clean not very modern but I liked the whole old motel/hotel thing. the hotel was connected to a restaurant where the staff was absolutely horrid ! they were rude and disrespectful not at first but you could tell that they seemed to like the locals better than the visitors. can you imagine a waitress expressing how she felt about you in front of you yeah same thing I said I ate there and decided not to come back the following night. THE RATING IS A COMBINED SCORE FOR THE INN & RESTAURANT read more

Best Option in the area. If planning a wedding, work with Franklin Inn for your guests. Avoid the Holiday Inn like the plague.

Looking for the most unhealthy buffet? Well, you found it! Fried is the key word here. If you still have room after the soggy green beans and mashed potaters and gravy, don't miss the dessert buffet. read more
