The Frances Modern Inn

Fantastic location in East Austin, great property, the owner and staff were very helpful with recommendations in the area. Will stay at it again for sure.

Room was lovely and staff was super attentive. Loved the coffee and drinks station!

I loved my stay here. It’s a prime location with an easily accessible and walkable parking space that they pay for. The number you’re given is super responsive and helpful and the room was so unique!! I slept in and slept great, they had super comfortable beds. I will stay here a lot more often when visiting Austin for work, it was very convenient to be in and out with that close by parking, and I left something in my room and they coordinated pickup with me easily. Super nice people!!

Our stay was amazing! The hotel is ideally located walking distance to a lot of great restaurants and shops. The spacious common areas on each floor made it feel welcoming and gave chill vibes. The rooms are beautifully decorated, and the cleanliness was truly impressive. Literally spotless, no dust, no stray hairs, no cobwebs.

Super cute and clean. The staff are all very helpful! I would definitely stay here again!

Cute boutique hotel! Room was clean and we loved the community coffee maker on our floor. Great location in East Austin.

Adorable place with a funky vibe. Mornings coffee on the patio is lovely.

Fantastic, beautiful space. It was luxurious and cozy, easy to access, and in a very convenient location. All around, a wonderful hotel, and we had a delightful stay.

There is a beautiful patio and courtyard to hang out in before even arriving in the suite. The suite itself has a very comfortable bed and linens, was incredibly clean, and had a beautiful clawfoot tub inside the bedroom. There were even several led candles to make the space feel cozy and romantic. This is a very good East Side location as well, with plenty of bars and shops to walk to. They have an in house restaurant we weren’t able to try this time around but the menu looks great. The kitchenette is well equipped for eating a nice meal inn. We will absolutely stay here again! It is such a great place to call home base in Austin.

Such a great place to stay. The staff was welcoming, friendly and accommodating. The price was affordable and the room quality was equal to a much more expensive hotels. The property has a boutique Mexico vibe. Stay here, you won’t regret it.

Cute hidden hotel tucked above and behind a restaurant in cool E Austin. Pretty nice except for continued hot water issues -- no on-site staff to help so not as easy as just calling down to the front desk...

everything was amazing & the property was so beautiful.

Nice area in East Austin just a few blocks from Franklin BBQ. Easy walk to 6th St, downtown or the river. Some fun independent shops nearby. Very nice lounge area with free coffee/tea/sparkling flavored waters. All in all felt like a home away from home!

Good location near UT campus events.

Wonderful experience. The neighborhood is lovely with lots of great cafes and restaurants. The restaurant in the hotel is great and worth a visit.

Parking is a problem.

The Frances Modern was so wonderful. The bed was insanely comfortable and everything was designed beautifully. There was free coffee and water in a communal area and an amazing roofdeck with views of the city (where we sat and listened to a blues show happening in the park across the street). It had some amazing restaurants and shops very close (shout out to quickie pickie for amazing breakfast tacos) and it was easy to walk down to the bars on 6th. We even walked home one evening from the central downtown and never felt unsafe. As some people mentioned, there are only a few parking spots out back, but they helped us get set up in their other free lot which is only two buildings down and super easy for getting in and out of. We couldn't have asked for a better stay while in Austin!

Highly recommend this place - one of the best properties I’ve been to in Austin

Where to start - loved this little gem of a hotel. Check in was easy, room was clean, staff was friendly, and above all it was quiet.. even during a SXSW weekend. Maybe the best was the bed and luxurious bedding.. oh so nice! I would stay here again in a minute! Also, the restaurant on the first floor is first rate - walking distance to places like Paper Boy, Quickie Pickie (small grocery and good food), vintage bookstore and a few other neat places! If this is available, book it!

This was in a perfect spot for us. Walkable to many shops, restaurants and bars. The inn itself was fantastic. Loved the decor and amenities. The coffee machine was wonderful with all the different choices. Checking in and out was very easy and staff was great at communicating. Will definitely be back next time I’m in Austin.
