Clean room but very chilly at night. Coffee in the lobby was a nice perk. Very centrally located and delicious restaurant attached plus so many more within walking distance. Great for visiting Buffalo Trace!

The room and staff were great. The only thing that bothered us was the lack of water pressure in the shower.

The room was elegantly designed, clean & and comfortable. Dinner in the Cypress & Oak restaurant was delicious & the bartender knew how to make a great cocktail! We had a great experience!
Clean rooms, staff was great, one negative is they need to have at least one vending machine and one Ice machine, on the main floor. Front desk would get you ice, but really this is a Flaw. Other than that, the place is really cool!!!
Very kool .. hotel .. was very impressed with the workmanship on the renovation spared no expense… extremely clean and comfortable I paid $110.00 a night anywhere else this would be a minimum of $350-$500 a night there a great restaurant attached to it next door that you can get to from the hotel … I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone …. I never really wrote reviews but was really impressed by this hotel

Very accomodating and friendly staff. Staff went above and beyond to help me and my wife get settled after a 15 hour drive. We were moving across country and had a lot of stuff to get off the car. The gentlemen taking care of the front desk at 5 am was more than helpful to help us .my wife and i will be back for sure

Room was beautiful!! Everything was awesome, including the restaurant!!
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.
