Perfect location for exploring The Bourbon Trail. Beautiful building and amazing restaurant on site. Top notch staff that was very knowledgable about the area. They provided some great inside tips for the local distilleries.
Staff onsite was excellent. However, i did call 3 times and no one answered. Parking was horrible. If you have small children or disabilities i wouldn't recommend. Housekeeping was very noisy, both in halls and other rooms. I could hear vacuuming several rooms away. Toilet paper was very thin and scratchy.
Loved this hotel! Beautiful, extremely clean, super nice front desk worker. Parked for free on the street right out front. Would 1000% recommend and stay again if in the area.
My only complaint would be parking! Although it was just down the street there were no signs or dedicated area. The hotel was renovated nicely and smelled good! Will definitely stay again if in Frankfort!
The welcome from the staff at the front desk was just wonderful. The property was immaculate and styled very nicely. The rooms were very comfortable and clean. We would certainly return.
