I just had the pleasure of staying one night at Frances Modern, and it was perfect in every way. Staff was responsive, room was unique, clean, and comfy, parking was seamless, and there were lots of fun shops and restaurants in walking distance. My favorite part of my trip was hanging out in the common area the next morning- I enjoyed sitting in the open patio area, reading and journaling and sipping my delicious oat milk latte from the coffee machine. I can’t wait to go back- next time I plan to stay two nights!

What you see is ACTUALLY what you are getting. Boutique style hotel done right. It was ideal for us for our quick getaway. From the blackout curtains to the bathtub and shower. Easy to access so many gems in the neighborhood. The smell of the room was amazing. Little to no noise from the area around us. The A/C does take a little while to fill the room but honestly, still would rate this place 10/10 and can’t wait to book this hotel again.

This is the second time I have stayed at the Frances. I often travel for work, and found this gem last minute, and have been wowed both times with the beauty and hospitality of this Inn. It doesn’t help that this location is 6 minutes from work and the restaurant serves great food. This is now my work home away from home!

My wife and I stayed at the Frances Modern for a weekend getaway. Our goal was to find a relaxing, “little bit different” place to stay, convenient to downtown- we were seeing a concert at the Moody Center. The Frances Modern delivered. This small, boutique, hotel was beautifully appointed, but relaxing and casual. The room was unique & spotless, with character you don’t find in chains. We spent much more time in the open air sitting area than I ever imagined we would- but the coffee, sparkling waters, books, games, etc were all so inviting. Communication from the staff was great. We’ll definitely be back!

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.

Such a beautiful, eclectic Inn. The room and outside area was spotless, the coffee station and drink area was a great plus. The staff is very friendly and on the spot if there is an issue. I highly recommend staying here while in Austin. It’s just a short walk to 6th street and we ended up walking everywhere the entire time with ease. Also, for me personally the comfort of the bed is a big deal, and their bed was very comfortable. Stay here and you will not be disappointed!

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!!

The one night stay was everything we wanted. We had a concert nearby at the Moody Center and the location couldn’t have been better. My only gripe was that they only have 4 parking spots available for this hotel. They do have offsite parking that is paid for by the hotel but it’s little inconvenient to park there and walk back. Not a deal breaker though. It’s not that far anyway. We ended up Ubering to the concert and walking back home which was kinda cool. That should tell you everything is at arms reach and is walkable. I would definitely stay here again! Don’t hesitate on booking this spot.
