Franklin Hotel

Business in Strawberry Point, IA

Step back in time and enjoy a hotel stay in turn-of-the-century splendor. The Franklin was built in 1902 and remains much the same today as it was then. When you register at the original front desk in the hotel lobby, you immediately begin to get a feeling for the stories and legends that have become part of parcel of this historic hotel over the last 109 years…

…the cook whose buttermilk pancakes were lengendary, the blind bachelor who once called the hotel home, the bartender whose generous Bloody Marys are still a part of local history…and a ghost.
