The Franklin Hotel

It’s been a few years since we’ve been here, but our experience was a good one. Housed on the main floor of an historic hotel, it creates a unique atmosphere that’s very conducive to good conversations!
Our culinary experience was nothing to write home about as we just had sandwiches. They were fine, but nothing worth driving a long way for. Very helpful staff who were friendly and cordial.
While you’re here, obviously check out the world’s largest strawberry and take a trip up north to see some incredible scenery!

Always enjoy the Atmosphere of this historic hotel. It hasn’t changed much since since out first opened and is on the national register. Food is good and the staff is helpful. Cod is good. STeak can be great. Sandwiches are decent

Very friendly waitstaff and great pancakes. All in all a lovely place to stop for breakfast.

This place was cool. It’s very retro but if your up for a neat old building that has been remodeled then you will be entertained. Rooms are a little small but it’s worth the stay. They have really good food in the restaurant and a nice little bar that is super cheap. I would recommend it for sure.

Only one word to sum this joint up… mediocre. I had the Sunday buffet, a perfectly accurate description is above or below… depending where this falls. I would add that in the heart of corn country, where there was incredible sweet corn all over the place for 100 ears for a dollar it seemed, they were satisfied to put either canned or frozen on the buffet.
My partner had a blue-​cheese burger that was small, grey and boring. No fries, the fryer wasn’t working. He got mashed potatoes which were instant and cold.
It’s not the worst place I’ve ever been, but it wasn’t the best either. I know I’m in Strawberry Point and you can’t really expect «fine dining,» but a few small changes could make the place a little better.

Poor service, mediocre food and high prices makes our experience less than memorable. We were there Easter Afternoon for brunch. Sliced ham floating in water with pineapple chunks, little sizzlers, scrambled eggs and chicken and rice were the protein selections. Mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes right out of the can were the veggies. Sweet cornbread and banana nut bread were the breads. Cost for two with coffee was over $ 20.00 A bit much for what they offered.
Seat yourself and had to ask a couple times for our drinks.

Great sweets. As you would expect by the name of the city, strawberries are the theme. I had an excellent strawberry milk shake along with a cookie.
