Breakfast was really good! Especially the homemade cinnamon rolls. It was a very clean property with nice employees. So close to the places we were visiting, like Buffalo Trace and the Frankfort State Capital building and park area.

Nice stay, clean comfortable rooms w/good bkfst

The hotel is nice, comfortable, clean, in a convenient location and serves a breakfast with good choices. We didn't use the pool, but the room had a very comfortable king bed with nice pillows and decent TV channels/options. In case it matters, here are the only cons of note: The fitness center is very small...three cardio machines (bike, treadmill, elliptical) and some free weights (no bench) in a very small room, and the display on the bike was inop, so this didn't meet our needs but we were only there for a day during nice weather. There are parks and some trails in the area, but that requires nice weather. Lastly, the toilets seem very low, if that is a concern to anyone.

The front lobby worker was dressed in a baggy t shirt and sweat pants. That should of been my first indication. I had requested a room with a roll away or cot or pull out bed. I was told i can pay extra for two queens. Customer service is horrible. No thank you, sorry, good afternoon... not even a smile. I was overcharged as well.
