Our stay was awesome! I do wish we could have watched live TV cause I have to purchase Netflix for one night so we had something to watch. But the outside neon light outside gave such a cool glow at night time. This whole apartment had such an awesome vibe to it. Five stars for sure

Great stay in Frankfort

Nice place for sure. Clean and had all the necessary things for our stay. Slightly confusing getting in when we got there, but we figured it out. Info coming from Hotels.com was pretty good. Texted the virtual check in number that had been texting me and they responded when I had a question which was nice. I would stay here again. Bar downstairs was pretty good and easy.

Really cool place. It's an apartment, not a hotel. Spacious room with a beautiful view of the street. Attached to a bar which was convenient. It's an old building so sometimes you can hear people walking above you, but for the most part very quiet. No street noise. Parking was convenient right across the street.

No employee on site , available by text and responded fairly quickly . Wood floors amplify any noise around or above you. Very nice room with kitchen and coffee/ creamer. If you're looking for a normal hotel with employees and a front desk. This isn't for you.

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.
