I am a University of Kentucky alum and very familiar with the area. Great location if you are attending football games or visiting a student on campus. Rooms have everything a traveler would need for an extended visit to make them comfortable. Pet friendly and convenient to major shopping areas and restaurants.

We were impressed with the cleanliness of the hotel. The sitting area on main floor was very nice. There was a nice grill area outside with a firepit to enjoy the evenings. .The room was very nice and having the frigerator and stove would have been perfect to cook if you were staying longer. I want to especially say that Shannon at the front desk was very helpful and never seemed to be bothered by any questions that was asked! She was definitely one of the beat front staff people we have come across. Kidos to her. All of the staff was very nice and helpful. We will definitely stay again.

The room was great but there was no hot water in our room. We had doctor appointments and didnt realize that there was no hot water until we got up to take a shower before going to the appointments. We didnt have time to notify management so they could fix the problem. Other than that, the room was great.

Room was great with ability to cook. Large fridge with ice maker. Only issue was noise from room above us. The guests were rolling around on a chair and walking/banging around until after 11:30 pm. I advise staying on a top floor.

The hotel was VERY noisy. Every time the people upstairs showered or flushed it sounded like it was raining in our room. When the people upstairs were moving around it sounded like our ceiling might cave in. One night at 1:30 am the fire alarm went off -false alarm. In the parking lot outside our window there was a faulty light that flickered all night. On the plus side, the staff was very pleasant the few times we interacted with them. And the location was convenient to UK for us.

I wish I knew the rooms on either side of the hallway were opposite one another. If someone across the hall opens or closes their door, you will hear it all throughout the night. My wife and I couldn't sleep because people kept opening and closing their doors throughout the night. The smoke alarm above the bed flashes brightly nonstop. The flashes kept me awake on top of the noise. The front desk people were, however, super friendly and helpful. The bed was super comfy, I just wish we could have slept during our stay.

There was a small kitchen with a full-sized fridge, and a comfy seat that had a moving tray to eat on that was helpful. There's a Slim Chickens next door, so that was handy. Prices were great on the rooms.

This was close to the convention center which was great and easy to locate! The room was great! I did discover the air (cool) had been left on so it took a bit for the room to heat and stay warm due to low temps outside. I think they were having difficulty with their reservations program. I needed to wait for a bigger group ahead of me for close to 30 minutes. There was only one person on duty. I then got my key and found I had been given an occupied room. I needed to go back and get a different one. The next morning I was barely acknowledged and just told to leave my key.

Room was clean, check in was painless. Ive traveled for 20 years, when did hair dryers become non-standard amenities? I found it very inconvenient there was no hair dryer in the room. I had to make a call and ask the front desk to be told, "let me check if we have one," unacceptable. Also, morning of check out i asked for 2 towels and was told they dont have any avaiable? Like, not enough towels to stock the hotel, i couldn't have any? Also, maids were watching social media videos in the lobby during our checkin on their phones at full max volume while an older couple were struggling to communicate with the front desk. Very inconsiderate, desk manager should have spoken up on that one. Just simple things that have never been a problem at any hotel ive stayed at before, even way cheaper ones. We won't be back.

My fault that I didn\'t notice the hotel didn\'t serve breakfast but they did have food for sale -- sugary, highly processed, unhealthy crap. When I checked in I was told I\'d have to deposit $10 for "incidentals" but I couldn\'t get an explanation what those might be. I was also told I\'d get the $10 refunded to my card if I didn\'t incur any expenses for incidentals. No other hotel has ever charged me this way and it all seemed very petty. The hotel was clean. There was hot water in the shower. Location was pretty good relative to downtown.
