Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
This hotel is under construction so keep that in mind. The areas that we had access to were very clean. They do not do any work on the weekends, so it was extremely quiet. It will be amazing once finished. The bed was very comfortable and Frank who works the front desk is awesome! He is a great ambassador for the hotel, and the city of Frankfort!
Great overall experience. Check-in was smooth, and the staff made us feel right at home. The room was exceptionally clean, and having easy, hassle-free parking was a huge plus. Highly recommend!
Great location in walking distance to downtown and close to Buffalo Trace and Cove Springs Park.
Breakfast was very good with a little bit of everything.
Wish the pool was open but maybe next time I visit

Liked: Staff & service
Although the staff was exceptional and the rooms were clean and comfortable, the hotel is under MAJOR renovations and things were slightly inconvenient. I’m sure it’s going to be wonderful when it’s completed but at the moment the lobby and 1st level are a mess.
The staff was very kind. However, the Property is under construction and smells like mold and mildew. The breakfast area is next to the construction zone. The lobby is had mattresses lined up and construction crews were all over. This place should be closed.
Room was clean, very close to downtown so we walked and enjoyed food and shopping.

Lounge was great! Great cocktails, great food, great crowd, great service!
The location was ideal, and the lounge provided a welcoming atmosphere with excellent food and drinks—especially appreciated after a long day of travel. Despite undergoing renovations, the property still delivered outstanding value and an overall great experience. I would gladly stay there again!

The hotel is being renovated so there wasn’t an onsite bar/restaurant open. The room was clean and the breakfast was a bonus. The staff was very friendly. I would stay here again.

Unfortunately renovations are underway so areas, including the bar, were closed. The room was clean, staff was excellent and the parking was easy. Great location close to downtown. Ill return when renovations are complete.
