Very nice centrally located new hotel. Parking is a bit limited and getting your luggage into the hotel is a bit challenging due to an uneven sidewalk.

Bourbon Trail trip

We stayed at the Delegate because it was only a mile from Buffalo Trace Distillery where we were going the next day. Really cool older building that has been refurbished. Rooms were huge and well decorated. Beds were very comfortable. There was a restaurant/bar that was pretty cool as well. Great selections of bourbon at the bar. The dining was closing as we got there, but they offered to make up some appetizers for us. We had the poutine and calamari. Both were good. We will likely stay there again since it’s so close to Buffalo Trace and not too far from the Louisville and Bardstown regions for the Bourbon Trail.

Loved the unique room. It was very spacious. The floor was slanted but that must be from age of building.

Delegate hotel

One of the men from the front desk, unsure of his name but he has an Indian accent, has terrible customer service skills. I received an unusual email from the delegate and called to make sure our reservation was good to go, and he was incredibly rude on the phone. Otherwise, the hotel is very pretty; we didn’t realize it was fairly new. So everything is clean and looks nice. However, the rooms/amenities are beyond basic. The refrigerator barely got cold and was smaller than the already small typical hotel refrigerators. We requested a microwave b/c we meal prep and there are none. No gym, no pool/spa, no breakfast or even coffee, the front desk has to get ice from the back on the bottom floor. So if you’re looking for a pretty room to sleep in, this is great. If you want anything beyond that, then no. It is by far not the cheapest option in Frankfort, we will not be back.

Theres not a whole lot around the hotel. There are a few restaurants and bars, but dont expect anything on a Sunday evening. The town was very quiet and dead. We liked it, but if youre looking for night life, this probably isnt it. We liked the quietness of the area, although you can hear ypur neighbors. So, if you want to argue eith your wife about a towel, you probably should watch your voice level. The people under you really dont want to hear it and theull just start making fun of you.

Love the design and aesthetics of the building, the hallways and room. The front desk staff were very friendly. Comfortable beds. Great amenities in the room. What I didn’t like..no parking lot. (There is a gravel lot next door) We were able to snag the last spot on the street with a short walk to front door. There are train tracks only a few feet away from back of building and yes the train went by about 11pm. Big screen smart tv. Unfortunately it’s streaming only. You can log into your own accounts to watch, Netflix, prime, apple etc. I just wanted to turn on tv and watch local news or just a local station but you can’t do that. Otherwise, great hotel! Walking distance to stores and restaurants!

Really enjoyed the stay!! The vibe is relaxing and the staff was super helpful. On site restaurant had good food, but the service was a little slow- but good!! I have to make people aware that if you are high maintenance.. this might not be your place.. room service only at your request .. im fine with that and noticed this trend in boutique style hotels. But i heard some guest complaints and its stated on the site and no one reads it..

I would have given it 5 stars but we did have some issues. It is a recently renovated old brick building and I love the industrial look. It looks just like the pictures and I was pleased with that. But when we got up the next morning to take showers, our room did not have hot water in the shower. I wouldn’t even say it reached luke warm. When we told the receptionist that was on duty that morning as we were leaving for breakfast, she said you just have to let it run for a while and we said we did and that we both even took showers and it never got warm. All she said was “oh, I’m sorry”. Didn’t offer to do anything about it. We went on about our day and came back before dinner and my husband tried the shower again…never got warm after letting it run for several minutes. So he said something to the front desk again (different person this time) and she sent maintenance to our room who after looking at the shower said he will have them give us a different room. When we walked into the room they switched us to and put our stuff down, we immediately noticed that there was some kind of dust or debris from the ceiling that had fallen all over the bed and tables in the room so we had to go down to reception and have them give us yet another room. So with that being said, they still have some kinks to work out. Other than that, we enjoyed the stay.
