Capital Plaza Hotel
Very dated. Poorly lit. Inconvenient parking. Breakfast is low quality. The property has signage stating under renovation - hopefully this is completed soon with a modern vibe.

Days Inn by Wyndham Frankfort
This was the worst experience ever.room smelled like bug spray, towels dirty,I’m sure there are bed bugs. We did t stay. Once we saw the room we left and had to get another hotel. I know this was a un refundable room but Hotels .com should refund me and remove this hotel from its listing.
