I was updated with check in information a day prior, and very detailed which helped finding the parking. Plenty of places to eat and shop nearby and sample bourbon! 1.6 miles from Buffalo Trace. The interior was quiet, secure and clean! I could smell the fabric detergent/softner on the sheets. Bathrooms were clean, bed was comfy and large smart tv. Id definitely stay here again!

We had a little trouble getting in to the room but the host was so quick to respond and fix the issue quickly. The room was so cute and comfortable. It’s located upstairs from a restaurant right in the downtown area with plenty of restaurants to walk to. Overall, we had a great stay and would absolutely stay here again.

This hotel was very cute and super close to buffalo trace which is where we wanted to start the bourbon trail with only being a 6 minute drive. Clean and super unique inside, made us feel super safe by providing codes for the outside door, elevator doors and for your room. We had a lovely stay and at an affordable price. Would stay again!

Unique property in a good location with bars, restaurants and shopping close by. Only complaint is that sound proofing between floors not very good. We could hear the people in the room above us walking and moving around their room. Unfortunately it was at 2:40 in the morning so they woke us up. Otherwise very nice place.

You’ll need a lot of bourbon to be comfortable!!
I booked The Sinclair Hotel through Hotels.com after filtering for properties with a pool and hot tub. I assumed all options shown met my criteria, but The Sinclair had neither. I messaged the hotel but received no response for two days. When I called, I discovered there’s no on-site staff—just an answering service that took multiple tries and long wait times to reach. When I finally spoke to someone, they said I could request a refund through Hotels.com. After contacting Hotels.com, they called the hotel, which refused the refund. Left with no choice, I stayed. The “boutique” hotel looked new but lacked basics—no hangers, no extra blankets, and a broken lamp. The heating barely worked, and the shower didn’t get hot enough to steam up the glass, especially with its open-air design. After contacting the hotel, someone came to “fix” it late, but the temperature remained lukewarm. The second night, a stranger opened my door at 5:30 AM, muttered, “how creepy,” and left. Apparently, the door lock was malfunctioning or they had the code. While the hotel later changed my door code, I didn’t feel safe. To make matters worse, loud trash collection outside my window woke me at 6:30 AM. Overall, poor amenities, unresponsive service, safety concerns, and constant disruptions made this stay awful. I do not recommend The Sinclair Hotel.

I was originally excited to be in the heart of downtown Frankfort what I thought was a quiet quant town. There are many restaurants and local shops in walking distance. Quiet however, far from it most of the town shuts down by 10pm but that’s when ALL the locals go to the Irish Pub located just 3 doors down from the hotel. It is so Loud it feels like you are at a concert and they don’t close till 2am. Besides it being rowdy, they are on their Motorcycle roaring up and down the street and once they all go home the trash trucks and delivery trucks show up by 7am. So if your looking for relaxing or restful do not stay here. Also make sure you pick the top floor despite the noise from outside it sounded as if we had a heard of elephant stomping above our heads as well as the pounding off a bed frame against the wall. Never been so tired on a vacation and honestly have never left a negative review before but I was just really disappointed. Way too much money for the experience and there is no staff onsite to address with your concerns. And lastly what out for false spam messages that are not from the hotel. I received a link saying my payment had not gone through and they wanted my credit card number- this maybe a Expedia Hack but either way be mindful and safe.

Overall great stay! Just one thing…
Definitely a 4 star stay, I can’t give 5 stars only because of the process to get ready to arrive. I was told I would receive a link for ID verification but never received 24 hours prior, had to call customer service and was told I had been sent it on my Expedia account, but yet booked through hotels.com, was then told it was emailed to me, never received. Eventually had to have them text me the link which to me should’ve been the first contact not through a made up Expedia account. Other than that the place was great! Very clean, very rustic and overall enjoyable!
