Our first entry into our room was not the best. It smelled strongly of pot. We told the desk clerk and she was aware and told us they had a little trouble from the couple who had stayed the night before. She immediately moved us to another room, which was also an upgrade. My only question was why they put us in that original room to begin with. They had numerous room openings. The room we were moved to was fine and we were appreciative for the upgrade in rooms.

It was a lovely stay. The room was comfortable, but I think the electric fireplace wasn’t working. Other than that, it was perfect. I got a coffee down the street in the morning, went out for breakfast, then went to the downtown shops and found some great deals.

I thought the cost of room was high for what the amenities that were offered. Room was small. The Murder Mystery dinner was very costly. I have visited this hotel in the past. This will be my last time to visit.

This place is way overpriced. Old , run down .bathroom floor was stained and appeared dirty. Entrance had a concrete ramp that was previously painted but badly in need of a fresh coat. One barely accessible outlet to charge a phone. No elevator and very steep stairs to second floor rooms. Staff was friendly

We stayed there for the first night of a color tour vacation. The room theme was log cabin and it had a sauna and hot tub! It has an appealing/relaxing atmosphere, is well laid out, with a comfortable bed, all the appropriate amenities and is clean! There is a small balcony overlooking downtown Frankfort which is perfect for a morning coffee. This is a great property, and a tremendous value!
