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.
