Besides Hotels screwing up my re reservation and booking me a 1 bed room when I had booked a 2 bed accommodation. Luckily where we were staying had an extra room that my friend could stay in. They are very cool and took care of us, which was greatly appreciated.

Summer stop

The room was cute, served its purpose. But with laminate floors, we tracked a lot of dirt in and around the room. A rug at the door would have been helpful. Also, there were some areas that could have used a little more cleaning attention (cobwebs near the base of the bed frame). Never saw any staff. There was a sign with a number to call, but it would have been nice to have a real human in the office during the day for quick questions.

Motel

Very clean, updated motel. I never saw a human except other guests. No ice machine. Small refrigerator and microwave both worked. No box of tissues. Basic for the price. Frankfort is a delightful town. This motel was near the edge of town.

Overall, the room was clean and cute, it could have used a picture on the wall or maybe a little more decoration. There needed to be more outlets, especially near a mirror, there were no outlets in the bathroom, which was difficult. We were there for a wedding And there needed to be more hooks/places to hang clothes up. The property was a little unkept. The staff was friendly and helpful though would consider going back.

Cried into my craft beer after checking in

Pylled in, and immediately realized I'd made a mistake. The property is not like the cheerful photos at all. Musty, very small room, too many disappointments to list, but it was clean enough to keep me from leaving. Would not return.

Room not like what was depicted in photo. Looked like an empty college dorm room. Just green walls, a bed, 2 unpatching g old table stands, a table and 2 rocking chairs. Nothing on the walls. Dented mini refrigerator. Extremely old small bathroom. Not worth the price we paid.
