The only thing saving this from being a 1 star review is that the place looks really nice inside. The parking situation is poor. You'll end up in a public lot with uncertain legality, then carrying your stuff half a block uphill, across two intersections and some railroad tracks. The room is bare of any amenities. Our suite had a pointless kitchenette, without even a drinking glass. No room service, not even a cracker to be had on the property. We booked a room with a pull out bed, but no bedding was provided; it didn't even have a sheet on it. There's no phone in the room, so interacting with the desk involves going downstairs. Our attempts to get bedding resulted in a dirty duvet insert, 4 pillow cases, and a sheet... eventually we got a clean duvet insert that was supposed to pass as a blanket. The main bed had dirty linens, the shower hot water was fickle. There's no vent fan in the bathroom, so everything gets wet. The cleaning is lazy, I do not believe they mop the hard floors. You can hear the pocket doors in adjacent suites banging closed. I am not sure why it gets such high ratings on Expedia. I was expecting a 9 star experience, I've slept in a tent in a campground with more amenities than this place. Bring your own ice, I guess. Do yourself a favor; stop in and look at the place. Just look at it, then you will have extracted all the value this place has to offer, turn around and go to a different hotel for a comfortable stay.
Weird empty kitchenette, guess you're supposed to drink directly from the faucet because there are not even glasses. Note the pointless ice bucket.... there is no ice here.
Dirty linens on the bed
Pull out bed (that was a bare mattress when we arrived, not even a sheet) that won't lay flat.

The Delegate, a charming stay right downtown!

The Delegate is the place to stay in downtown Frankfort. We've been to Frankfort a number of times, this is the first time we stayed downtown. The hotel is gorgeous, set in an old building but feels brand new, great loft style rooms with wonderful aesthetic. We got into town a bit late and but took the walk around town. Bourbon on Main offered a wonderful old fashioned. Enjoyed a couple of the local establishments. The hotel is only minutes away from Buffalo Trace Distillery - a must visit if you are in town. Really enjoyed our stay and will be back! Highly recommend this place.
