Room was nice. Love the restaurant everything is clean and beautiful love how close it is to downtown only thing I’m disappointed in is the menus in the room are not updated with the restaurant. Not a big deal our meal was still so delicious but my husband was really excited for the burgo. Overall we’d stay again

Nice quiet spot, close to shopping or the bourbon trail, this is the perfect hotel. We spent several days shopping, supporting local businesses in the region and enjoyed the quietness of The Delegate. We'll be back and will refer to friends.
