That's a very unusual and noisy stand for the bed. Very annoying for someone who gets up several times in a night. Was also disappointed to see that the river access was unusable. We'll be back to Burkesville but won't stay here unless some renovation is done. Desk clerk was available, helpful and professional.

This property is pretty run down and not at the standard that we are used to; however the staff is friendly and very accommodating. The view of the river from the upper floor is nice, and the IGA grocery store is right next door in case you need anything. The room smelled musty when we first arrived, but we aired it out and then it was fine. We had plenty of towels and also a fridge and microwave, but the pillows and bedding were old and it was hard to find the right temperature for the a/c. You would think that a small town in Kentucky would be beautiful, but Burkesville, just isn't... everything here was pretty average.

Property is old and smelly. Pool is green. Fridge was cracked but worked well. Hangers were even broken. Sheets are stained, and pillows have seen better days. Place was quiet though, and beds are pretty comfortable. View towards the back was breathtaking.

Overall, I like this place, but it’s starting to go downhill. The room should be cleaner. Stray hairs on the vanity, loose toilet seat, paint chipped and peeling in the shower, and mold on the shower curtain. A quick damp mopping of the floor between guests (with detergent…not just water) should be the norm. Your socks shouldn’t get dirty from walking across the room. While there is a coffee maker, they use coffee pre packaged in a filter bag. If you want to use your own coffee, you need to bring coffee filters.

The hot water didn’t last very long. The bed spreads haven’t been up dated since the 1970s ( literally) office people were very very nice. For the money it’s fine for a night or two which is how long I stayed. 😃

Room was not very clean. Power strips were used because of lack of plugins. The wall lamp by the bed had a spliced cord added. This could be a hazard. Roughly patched walls. Deadbolt on entry door had a key broke off in it. You could hear neighbors talking through the walls.

The room was very clean but beds were not comfortable at all. Owner was not very friendly. We paid cash in advance for 3 nights. We decided to spend the last night somewhere else and they refused to refund for the 3rd night, so we just lost that money. As someone where every dime counts in our family, that was disappointing ☹️

Not sure if Hotels.com messed up or the hotel, but they gave away my room because I didn’t prepay (I elected to pay at the hotel). My reservation was on their interface for Hotels.com but they said it wasn’t “confirmed.” Fortunately, they had a couple of cancellations. I didn’t get the room I booked, but at least I wasn’t forced to find other lodging. The room needed better cleaning. The carpet make my feet blacken, and the comforter had dried bits of food on it. Half the lights didn’t work and the toilet kept running unless you fiddled with the handle. The staff were nice and friendly, but more attention to housekeeping is needed.

AVOID THIS PLACE. Third-world accommodations. Mold on walls, mildew, and dirty shower curtains. Walls are falling apart, dirty towels, and a dirty mattress. All towel bars are falling off the walls, and there is rust on all light fixtures. We did not stay the second night we had booked—they offer ZERO refunds for ANY reason, so they know it's pathetic and don't care.
