Liked: Cleanliness
The room was clean and very nicely decorated. I prefer an actual reception desk with a live person to greet me rather than a text with a code to open the door. It was convenient but not warm. The property and surrounding area is a bit gritty. If you like graffiti and food trucks, this neighborhood is for you. There are fun restaurants in walking distance.

The Frances Modern is a self-service boutique hotel perfectly located in hip East Austin — a vibrant neighborhood with great boutiques and dining options. The property is very charming, with cozy, bohemian décor and thoughtful room amenities that make for a relaxed, comfortable stay. There’s excellent coffee and sparkling water available in the communal area, which adds a nice touch. On the first floor, there’s a terrific East Asian restaurant, and just steps away is Paperboy — an excellent spot for breakfast. I recommend making reservations for both. Communication was outstanding — any time I had a question, I received an immediate and helpful response. I would definitely stay here again.

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.
The loft room # 15. Our friends stayed in this one it was so cool!
Our room #4. I absolutely loved the colors and the vibe.
Our room. So clean and neat.
The beautiful courtyard outside our room. The property offered coffee with a Jura coffee maker and a fridge with water and oat milk. How thoughtful!

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.

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.

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!
