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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
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.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
I love the funky vibe of the hotel- exposed brick, cool hallway lighting, nicely sized rooms, crisp white comfy beds. The hotel is very clean and modern and the area around it is very cute. The building is old and not very soundproof- we heard every step above us and a fight the couple next door had at 7am. Just a few things that would make it more comfortable- a phone in the rooms to call the front desk and ask for towels would be nice. More hooks or shelves in the bathroom and sink area. 2 white robes would be a really nice touch and helpful. Finally, the shampoo/conditioner and shower gel were not great. Other hotels (even less expensive ones) have offered better products. Finally- the people working the front desk barely acknowledged us at all- no greeting- no smile. Just kind of sitting there. Sort of weird for being in hospitality.
