This is such a cute motel! Our room was big and clean and clearly recently remodeled. It felt more like a bedroom in someone’s home than a motel room. Mandy was very helpful when we needed it. It’s an easy walk to downtown. We would go back in a heartbeat!

Very clean, updated motel. I never saw a human except other guests. No ice machine. Small refrigerator and microwave both worked. No box of tissues. Basic for the price. Frankfort is a delightful town. This motel was near the edge of town.
