Beautiful Hotel & Friendly Staff

I was pleasantly surprised when I walked in. This hotel lobby was beautiful. I was greeted nicely by the lady at the desk. Our room was spacious for our family of 5 plus our small dog. The only thing I didn't like was not having a microwave and refrigerator but it did have a keurig coffee maker in the room. I was thrilled that the pool was open too. It is a indoor heated pool open until midnight. They have a nice breakfast buffet in the restaurant area with a gentleman preparing omelettes and waffles made to order. Our breakfast was included in the price of our room. Every staff member I encountered was friendly and made us feel welcomed. I stay in this area frequently and this is by far the best hotel I've stayed in. I will be booking my next stay here as well.

Don't expect your reservations to be correct.

When I booked the room I specifically requested two beds, as my teenage son was with me for his college orientation. I also requested 2 breakfasts. When we arrived and went to the room there was one bed. We immediately went back down to the desk and showed them the Travelocity email showing we had requested 2 beds. They said sorry but that request didn't make it to them (Seriously??) and they didn't have another room with 2 beds. I even went so far as to request an additional room for my son then. They said they were completely booked and could provide a twin air mattress. We had no choice but to use it. And we got only 1 breakfast. I will NEVER stay there again.

Too expensive for what you get

Pros: Close restaurants
I was there on a school trip. The pool was closed. Very slow internet. The beds were hard and the old tube tv was so blurry we couldn't read the score of the ballgame we were watching. I was very disappointed. I have always had great beds at Holiday Inns and don't know why they had such old, hard mattresses here. Next year my school will stay across the street.

This hotel made me feel like was home away from home.

Pros: Close restaurants, Free Internet, Quiet
Cons: no free breakfast
I've stayed at this hotel many times over the last 10 years. Each time I feel welcomed as a guest and my stays are always worry free. I can and do recommend this hotel to my friends. In the future, when my plans call for stays in Bowling Green, I will stay here.

OK for the money

Stayed March 18-20,2011. Booked two queen rooms, but on arrival only one was available. Front desk was a little hesitant at first, but agreed to upgrade one of the rooms to a suite, basicially because that was all that was left. The hotel itself was well kept, with a gym, pool, bar, restaurant and an open lobby with a waterfall. It is right off Scottsdale Road, where there are an abundance of stores and restaurants. Our complaint was the condition of the rooms. While clean, they are very outdated. Furniture is old and scratched, bathrooms were very worn, as were the carpets. Neither room had any hotel information inside-we didn't even know there was room service. We were told that this hotel is often times sold out, as large groups (school-aged and college) book out weekends. With that much money coming in, you'd think more attention would be paid to the actual sleeping quarters. Not a 4 or even a 3 star hotel. If you want an upgrade, stay across the street at the new Hilton.

Great Visit

I stayed at the hotel just for a get away from the daily strain. I was greated with a smile from the front desk and that stayed with me for the enitre day. I had a drink in thier bar where yet I came across many more smiles. Went out to the mall and upon my return came across even more smiles. The next morning after my much deserved relaxation I checked out and was thanked for my stay and invited back. Okay when I checked in I did not expect the smiles, warm welcome and amazing staff. I will return and only send family and friends to stay there. What a great hotel with the staff, I would rate it 5 stars.
