We weren’t aware that the hotel was under major renovation until we arrived for check in. The pool, restaurant, and bar are closed. I wish this information was disclosed before booking. We woke up to hammering and power sanding, and when I went to use the bathroom, we had no running water. The front desk was very helpful and let us use another room to shower. The hotel is in a great location, but I wouldn’t stay there again until the construction is complete.

We booked this hotel in May 2026 with a list of amenities including room refrigerators and microwaves, a hotel pool, and guest bourbon bar. These definitely figured into our booking the hotel. We arrived to find that the hotel was sold in June 2026 and was being renovated. The pool was empty and there was no bar available. Our room had no refrigerator or microwave. Basically a room to sleep, not what we had anticipated. The website still shows no sign of renovations nor were we notified. If this was the case, we would not have stayed here. We will not stay here again.

Nothing that was advertised was working because they are remodeling, which could have been updated per the hotel or Expedia. There was no bar, no pool amd no resturant. The rooms had a smell to them, the sheets where dirty in one of the beds upon checking and was brought to the attention of the front desk, nothing was done. Id likely never stay here again which was a complete dissappitment.

Undergoing renovation that intruded on the experience all the time. The price was discounted, though. It really needed updating. The beds were too soft and lumpy, and conveniences were either lacking (no pens/note pads in the room), not working (hair dryer), or unpleasant (very low water flow). Dining was closed except for the buffet hot breakfast, but it was mediocre. Free garage parking is a plus. The staff were friendly and helpful when asked. OK as a place to stay for a few days; hopefully the completion of the renovation will help.

The listing for this hotel is false advertisement. On arrival, the pool, bar and restaurant are all under construction. I understand things need to be rebuilt but, a hotel shouldn't charge normal room rates when the amenities you pay for aren't accessible.

Major renovations are underway at this property. So, a lot of the building is being worked on. This isn’t necessarily a terrible thing, but, it did mean it was a little messy. The rooms themselves are definitely dated which is why they’re renovating. The hotel, when it’s done, will likely be very nice again but that takes time. For our 1-night stay it was completely fine and we had no issues. It’s nice and close to the Buffalo Trace Distillery (about 4-5 minute drive) and you can easily walk downtown from the location as well. Parking is easy in the adjacent ramp as well.

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.

THE HOTEL IS UNDER MASSIVE RENOVATION. It was posted that the pool and work-out room were going to be closed all year, but nothing was noted about the rest of the renovation that is being done. THe front lobby smells very musty. The bar area was not open as it is part of the front lobby renovation. Our room was very \"humid\" and that made that dirty carpet feel \"damp\". None of the lights in the room worked, and the maintenance guy said he has to reset the breaker for the room, and they were fine but the outlet in the bathroom did not work so I couldn't use the hairdryer in the bathroom and there were no outlets close enough to the mirror on the wall by the bed so I had nowhere to plug my own hairdryer in.
The breakfast offerings were not very good.

If you’re going to stay here bring your own sheets and comforter. They were stained or not washed, not sure. We also did not know that they are going through a renovation. There’s no pool, lounge or bar. Wish we would have known before hand. To top it off, we left our room for 2 hours and my husband realized he left his AirPods at the room. He can track them. Before arriving back to the room he saw the at the we’re out of the case. When we got back to hotel room they weren’t there. The staff had already cleaned the room. We thought that they may have washed them. He was taken to the laundry room not weren’t there. The AirPods were further away from the case so we knew they were taken. LOCK YOUR THINGS!

The Capital Plaza Hotel was an excellent place to stay. The location to historic downtown Frankfort was perfect- it is just a short walk to the middle of the downtown with plenty to eat & drink. The hotel is across the street from a scenic trail if you want to take a stroll. They are renovating so it will be even better in the future. The parking garage is behind the hotel & open 24/7. The only thing that I might have an opinion about is the view. You have to be pretty high up to get a view of the river or the city so don't expect anything spectacular on that point.

They are going through a remodel, so the mess is understandable. But no one told us no one was going to bring towels, etc.
In fact, we were given a sheet that said if we didn't want staff changing linens, bringing fresh towels, emptying trash, to put the do not disturb sign on the door. We were also given an envelope to leave a tip in.
But when we didn't have any towels after the second day we went to the desk to get some towels and they told us the staff wasn't going to rooms anymore. Felt like we should have been told that up front.

This was our 4th stay at this hotel over the past 15 or so years. Previously the hotel was always clean, comfortable and nicely furnished. During our recent stay the rooms were very worn and we discovered the hotel was under renovation. As a result, the hotel was very short staffed, so we received no housekeeping services and had to pick up room supplies at the front desk. The staff we encountered were friendly and efficient. Although our stay was subpar compared to previous stays, it served our purpose. This property will be spectacular after the remodel is complete, until then, you may want to consider staying elsewhere. I feel like we should have been notified of the renovation during the reservation process, so we could have considered alternative arrangements. I'll stay here again after renovations are complete.
