Top Frankfort Hotel Reviews

Home2 Suites by Hilton Frankfort

8/10 Good

"The room was very nice. Great location. 2 of the 4 ice machines were broken. Breakfast buffet was subpar. It had the feeling of a very nice hotel that was in decline."

Capital Plaza Hotel

8/10 Good

"Our room itself was clean and comfortable, and so our overall stay was pleasant. But the facility itself is in huge disarray due to construction, which I understand has been ongoing since 2025 and not expected to be finished until late 2027. It would have been nice to know this ahead of time. It was quite shocking because the entire first floor was completely dismantled, and massive scaffolding outside. And the breakfast offerings were sub-par, so we did not even try anything other than some juice and milk. I still have to say that the room was nice and fairly well up to date, so A+ for that."
