It's 4:20pm somewhere!

You get what you pay for. Some things are sorta updated while some things were in disrepair. Our bathroom was in pretty rough shape. There was a little kitchenette but absolutely no pans or dishes. The part that bothered me the most was that our floor consistently smelled very strongly of marijuana...all the time. It even seemed to come through the fan/vent in our bathroom. The lobby also smelled of weed often too. It is impossible to not notice it. I guess when they say "non-smoking" they just mean cigarettes... Unfortunately, I have to say that I would not stay there again.

For the price this was a very pleasant hotel. Being right beside the interstate I expected a noisy room. We were lucky to get a room on facing the back and it was quiet. The breakfast was a standard fare of eggs, sausage, potatoes and biscuits. It was warm and bland as expected but a little salt and pepper made it good. Never got to try the pool but there were others that did frequently. The room was very roomy, to the point I was looking for a couch to be missing from it. The shower had good pressure and was hot. I will be looking to book this on my future trips to Louisville.

Not very good elevator was out and people were getting stuck. The phone in the room was dead so couldn't call front desk,remote to tv didn't work. So for 300$ a night was kinda of a rip off.

I wish that I could share pictures. the door to the room looked like it had been opened by the fire department recently enough that the hotel hadn't even pained over the destruction left behind on the door. it was scraped and bent above and below the deadbolt. the hinges to the door were a different color of white and the dead bold latch was loose - only screwed into the door. not bolted. again, i wish that i could post pictures. The hotel seemed to have had painted the bathroom while it was still humid, the paint was bubbling and peeling. The tub was lined with 2 totally different floor tiles caulked together. my toilet paper dispenser was splintered and shattered and not working. there were exposed wires under the sink. there looked to be a brown dried liquid on the wall and shower curtain - thought it was blood. i couldn't get an extra pillow because they were out. the hallways were unkempt and littered with trash. not joking at all. i paid $1400 for 4 nights and when i went to check the price for a room for just one night it was $77. don't stay here. I got ripped off and really want most of my money back. The clock was unplugged, One lamp was unplugged and the switch was broken, there was no phone to call the front desk, the chairs looked as if they came from the sidewalk. very used and ripped and faded. well used. the mattress was dirty and seemed to be unchanged. the surfaces were stick from some cleaning product and the floor was not shampooed.

Sorry but a big NO!

Good things first- very nice staff. Everyone was super friendly. Great water pressure. Clean sheets. Seemed fairly quiet except when someone loudly slammed into our door at 3AM. But… the floors in the halls and elevators were dirty, the doors in the elevator looked like someone spilled something sticky on them ages ago and it was still there. Our room had no blanket, no comforter at all. We asked for one and the lovely man at the desk tried to help but could only find a stiff ancient looking stained blanket. Everything is really old and looks like someone tried to fix things themselves. Which is fine if you do it right. 1/2 of the cabinets in our kitchenette wouldn’t open or were really hard to open because someone had painted them poop brown. Didn’t matter anyway as there was not even a cup or silverware to be found in any of the cabinets. Don’t understand why they even keep the kitchenette. The tub was a gigantic VERY old jacuzzi type tub. Shower gel for some reason was attached to the wall by the sink, nowhere near the shower. Sofa in the room was covered in stains. Mattress sunk down in the middle and looked quite old. Sheets were very cheap polyester type. The area is very industrial. Nowhere close by to eat. The hall smells VERY strongly of weed. And another guest told us none of the vending machines were working. As we were leaving I noticed the sprinkler in our room was wrapped in plastic as if to protect it from paint splatter. That is a safety issue. Room 309.
