Wonderful

Staff was great. Location awesome. Bed super comfy. Room extremely noisy on account of being on the restaurant side of the hotel.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The rooms were clean, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was unique. Unfortunately, the walls are thing and you can hear every noise made around your room. There is also a set of train tracks out front and trains do pass through at all hours...including 1wam amd 4:30am.
Very comfortable room. Great location. Many restaurants in walking distance. Parking at Historical Museum was convenient. Decor was very well done. Will stay again!

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
No parking on-site. TV would not work asked for new batteries but they had none Had to go buy batteries for the remote But still streaming service limited No local stations No fitted sheets so by morning you are sleeping on bare mattress We were told Hilton has bought them so maybe they will improve
Great vibe, very clean and smiling staff. The location is great to walk to restaurants and bars. Only difficult thing was parking but once we found out where to park, it was very simple. We will stay again next year!
Hotel and room were clean and generally comfortable. A/C control was not intuitive such that the room could have been furnished with an instruction sheet. Once the settings were understood, the system operated just fine. The shower water was overly soft and required more time to rinse soap and shampoo.
Overall, the interior architecture and design were appealing. The restaurant and bar (Cypress and Oak) was conveniently connected to the hotel. The food and beverages were very good, despite the staff shortages behind the bar, waiters and kitchen. Be prepared for extended wait times for service. The stay was mostly comfortable and the location was convenient for the purpose of the trip. We would definitely consider The Delegate Hotel for a future trip to Frankfort.
The old building had some charge. We were disappointed that this hotel did not have cable tv as we wanted to watch playoff games. Had to go out to find the game at a restaurant.
Overall loved the hotel. Small things like not paper towels in the kitchenette, and no trash in the upstairs bedroom. We were in room 312. Morning coffee service was two small carafes, just couldn't keep up.
