During this visit I stayed at a Marriott and a Hyatt and this hotel was better than both put together. It is extremely clean and comfortable, The breakfast was plentiful and the location is great if you are on a bourbon tour!

I had planned to stay at the GLO Best Western in Lexington, but it had no vacancies. I was directed to try this one, and I am so glad. It has a stately look to the building, without being pretentious. I grew up staying in motels, and this had the option of parking up to the door of your room, or, because the room had a front and back door, you can access it from the central hall. Our room was clean, the linens smelled fresh, and we had ample pillows. The bed was a bit stiff, but I prefer that over one that is too soft. Some reviews said that the hotel was dated, then go to the GLo In Lexington which is urban trendy. At least in Parkside I knew I was in Kentucky because of the artwork and architecture. We have decided that this is where we will stay on any trips that we make on this route.

Thank you for the positive review of Best Western Parkside Inn. I agree, we are centrally located around shopping and restaurants. The first floor rooms have a parking lot entrance and a hallway entrance that allows for easier loading and unloading of baggage. A lot of folks say we are the white house of Frankfort as the entire building which spans in width is all white. We enjoy taking care of our guests here and it shows. We hope we have the chance to serve you again shall your travels bring you back this way again. Sincerely, Todd Price General Manager Best Western Parkside Inn

Location and price was great! In town several times a year for a horse show at Lakeside. Always stay at this location because I know the room is going to be clean and a great price. Staff is always pleasant.

Everyone and every service at this hotel goes above and beyond the cost. Staff helpful and friendly. Every area of the hotel was clean and well kept. Breakfast was a buffet and the indoor outdoor pool was very large for a hotel pool.

Very nice hotel with friendly staff. The room and bathroom were clean and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast selection was as good as any I have seen at a hotel in this price range. We only stayed one night and did not have time to use the pool or exercise room but both looked nice. This was actually my first stay at a Best Western but after this I will have to consider them as an option in the future.

The cable was out. So, no TV. My husband was very disappointed! The room could have been cleaner. Very dusty and the mirrors needed cleaning. Didn't know there was a train next door. That was noisy for a while! Sounded like they were hooking up cars. Very loud banging! Finally got quite after 11.

Thank you for the review of Best Western Parkside Inn. I'm sorry about the cable. I'm at the mercy of the weather and had to purchase all new equipment. I'm sorry about a train, I've never heard one before, I will look into that. Please feel free to contact me any time if you would like to make another reservation and I'll take good care of you.

Frankfort provided perfect location btwn Ark Encounter and Louisville. Parking was by our door plus there’s interior door to the corridor for amenities. Clean room & comfortable beds. Grandson loved the inside/outside pool.Breakfast offered 2 kinds of meat and a pancake machine for grandson’s delight. Accommodating staff. Beautiful capital town including the view from Daniel Boone’s gravesite

This hotel was easy to find. I was able to park under a light in the front. The staff was very friendly yet professional upon check-in. There is no elevator so you will have to lug your belongings up the stairs if your room in on the 2nd floor. The pool was not in use when I was there. The room had a tiny microwave and a tall dorm fridge. I was pleased to see both a desk with chair and a table with two chairs. The shower was different and took special instructions to operate. It seemed that the neighbors shower was loud in the morning, but I was already up. Over all this was a fine hotel-except for the lack of an elevator. That only affects your arrival and departure. I would consider staying her again.
