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!

We are so glad we chose The Frances Modern Inn for our vacation in Austin. This truly is a wonderful find. Vicky is a brilliant host. Each room is thoughtfully designed with all the comforts you need for a relaxing stay - the most comfortable bed & pillows, fabulous shower & wonderful bathroom amenities . The complimentary coffee machines and chilled flavoured sparkling waters on each communal floor is a wonderful bonus! I couldn’t recommend this place highly enough for your stay in Austin.

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.

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!

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.

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.
