It was fine. A place to sleep. The room itself was clean I didn’t notice anything. The hotel itself was dirty. There were a lot of homeless people present outside of the hotel, across the street. I saw a man sleeping outside when I first arrived.

Bad for families

Not a great place for a family. Nothing against the staff or facility. It just attracted to many homeless people and drug addicts. The facility is next door to a homeless shelter and they are free do anything to they want outside of the hotel.

Wouldn’t recommend.

Advertised that they cleaned the rooms every 3 days during a stay, we were there a week and housekeeping never came. Never got clean towels, never had the trash picked up. Asked for sheets and a blanket for the pullout couch and they said they didn’t have any. Pool didn’t seem clean, and the paint and floor were peeling a lot. Halls and rooms smelled like smoke even though it’s a non smoking hotel. Renovations needed. Right next door homeless people were sleeping outside of the hotel adjacent to this one.

OK hotel

The best thing about this hotel is the waffle maker at the kitchen where they serve complimentary breakfast every morning. Other than that, it’s a really old place and it’s suited for out of state workers.

Disliked: Amenities
As soon as we pulled up to the hotel, there was 3 cop cars and a girl sitting on the sidewalk. Not a good start. Front desk person was nice. Go to the room and it's not what was presented on Expedia. The room smelled like a pack of Newports. In the picture, there were 2 tables, there was only one table and an open space. Both myself and my husband required desks because we needed to work. Husband got creative and had to use the iron board for workstation. The shower head was terrible, it had Zero pressure and temperature was impossible. Everything in the bathroom is outdated including the room. The carpets are filthy. The positives-the pool is nice, breakfast is decent and the bed is comfortable. The proximity to Kentucky Expo is perfect but the area is sketchy. As the front desk informed us, there is lots of homeless in the area. Proceed with caution. I would not recommend this place.

Requesting refund

I never request refund but who do i need to talk to about requesting a refund for my 2 rooms?!?! This stay was horrible. Tub jets were FILTHY in both rooms, crumbs were on the floor in 1 room, goldfish and what looked like a blood stain were in the carpet of the other room,some hairs on the toilet seat, as well as a bunch of disgusting looking white stains in the couch cushion so luckily we didnt even utilize the sofa bed. We didnt even notice these things until this morning, as we got in to our rooms very late in the night and were exhausted so we just laid down and went to sleep.
