Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel is beautiful and clean. What you’d expect for a historical building. However, it was listed as having an elevator. When we arrived we were told that the elevator has not been working for almost 3 weeks since they are waiting for a part that is coming in from Italy. I had my 83 year old mother and handicapped brother going up and down the stairs for two days. Not sure if this is Expedias fault for not updating the listing or the hotel’s.
Elevator was broken, and we had to take the stars for the days we stayed. We were on the 4th floor, with an upstairs bar, on one of the nights there was a mariachi playing outside of our room until 1am. Hotel gave us no warring

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Our stay was amazing in this historic hotel. The staff was super friendly and made us feel welcomed and at home. The amenities and the cleanliness was excellent as well. I will definitely be returning soon.
I booked a room with 2 beds. The room only had one bed.
The Hotel Frances was full so we had to go find another room. We were charged anyway. Exedia.com can not be trusted. Unless I am refunded this week I will be letting Facebook, etc know

Staff very nice. Hotel is beautiful, rooms are rough. Roof top and Mariachi great. Rooms might be good for some local standards. Those from USA, go somewhere else. I hate to complain, but when there are car fresheners in the bathroom....
Staff were very nice and provided great service.
Room space was very small specially the bathroom and shower. Towels were very thin. Elevator was out of service multiple times.
