Carlo A. TondiniItalyPosto molto bello nel complesso, ma la posizione del Franciscan non valorizza al meglio l'ambiente.
In generale la pulizia della stanza era buona e la dotazione dell'angolo cottura era buona. Buona anche la dotazione di salviette e biancheria da letto.
Avevo prenotato una "cabin" lakeside, per scoprire solo sul posto…
NatalieUnited StatesLovely little cabin with private beach access. The room had a smart and kitchen, but the bed is small and uncomfortable.
I liked how smart of a cabin with everything you need with the kitchen, living, bath and bedroom. We enjoyed having private access to the lake/beachfront.
The bed was small and uncomfortable. It was a full size bed, not…

Questions about Franciscan Lodge
What time is check-in and check-out at Franciscan Lodge?
Check-in is from 4:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Franciscan Lodge allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Franciscan Lodge?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Franciscan Lodge have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Does Franciscan Lodge have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Franciscan Lodge have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Franciscan Lodge?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
