Beautiful Hotel

I loved this hotel. I’m always traveling & this one is probably one of my favorites. The hotel was clean and nicely decorated. Rooms were extremely spacious and had big beautiful windows causing beautiful natural light. The beds were comfortable and the hotel didn’t have a smell. Finally a hotel with no smell. I’ll definitely will be staying there again

This is a very attractive property with well appointed rooms. It is close to museums, dining and shopping. The only complaint is that the entrance is off a steep, one-way road with no designated temporary parking for checking in. We had to haul our bags from a public lot a block away.

Nice boutique hotel a couple of blocks from main downtown area with plenty of dining options, shops, museums..including the Kentucky Historical Society directly across the street from the hotel. Only complaint was restaurant at Delegate does not serve breakfast or lunch M-F, only dinner from 4:pm on..maybe 5? Whichever. On weekends there is a brunch that doesn’t begin until 10:am..it’s very good, a bit expensive though and I wished they’d give you a regular breakfast option too. Plus there should be some sort of breakfast available thru the week that’s put out with the coffee at 7:am. Croissants, toast, jams, OJ, simple stuff..At least. Because you have to walk at least a couple of blocks to the nearest breakfast redtaurant( Main Diner) WHICH is very good, but very crowded quickly after opening. Limited seating. And there’s another one practically right next door..not as extensive breakfast menu. The hotel is clean, comfortable, unique, staffed well, no complaints. Parking is limited because the hotel sits on an incline…without many parking spaces requiring those who don’t get one of those to park behind the hotel in a lot requiring more walking with luggage than clients would like. The town is wonderful, with historical homes and buildings, located 30 minutes from Lexington. We’ll definitely go back.

Solid small boutique hotel with comfortable accommodations, efficient staff, and good restaurant. The rooms are just right for the price and are appointed sufficiently. Two problems: difficult parking..limited by its location, and the fact that the restaurant only serves brunch on the weekends..and is only open for dinner after 4:pm throughout the week. Coffee is available in the lobby after 7:am..a good thing. So, no breakfast or lunch weekdays. However..the positives of the hotel make us overlook the inconvenience of limited dining and the parking situation as there are plenty of restaurants within a few short blocks all easily walkable in the downtown area. Nice town Frankfort within 30 minutes of Lexington

Completely bungled our check-in, went into our supposed room and found someone else’s items. Luckily they weren’t there, went back to front desk and horrible. Didn’t have room reserved, even though it had already been paid for. Terrible.

Great Place to Stay!

It was a wonderful stay. All people at the front desk were very friendly and accommodating. Clean, quiet and very nice bed and linens. Get location. We went to a show at the Grand and walked. And, also walked to breakfast!
