Wonderful stay! Check-in was friendly and professional. We were thrilled to discover they have a ChargePoint spot. The seasonal decor was pleasing and all the common areas are in excellent shape. The shower is large. The bed was firm. Breakfast was one of the best I’ve had: egg white frittata, bacon, French toast sticks, waffles, fruit, muffins, etc. Plenty of staff are in-hand to refresh supplies and keep the dining area clean. A very well-managed property.

This property has an amazing view and it's right next to the river and boardwalk. There are several great restaurant options within walking distance and the hotel is within a mile to my job site so it is and will continue to be my favorite choice when in town. They have an amazing breakfast. I love the gym, pool, and hot tub! And the staff has always been helpful, friendly, professional. I truly cannot give this place a high enough rating. If there's a better place to stay in Owensboro, I challenge you to prove it to me! 😁

Only had one elevator working and it was very busy.. I stay in many hotels for work and family time, this hotel didn’t have any usb ports in any of the lamp or plugs.. a simple fix would be update the alarm clock to have some.. also the computer chair leather was pretty worn out too. This hotel is supposed to be one of the nicest in Owensboro think it’s time for some updates

We were very disappointed in our stay and had several issues. The elevators were dirty and very slow. I killed several ants on the bathroom floor (we never had food in our room). The worst part about our stay was the fact that we could hear the people in the room next door (through the special adjoining door). They were being extremely loud and we could here every single word. It kept my young children up at night for nearly two hours. I don’t think there was sufficient padding between the adjoining doors. This issue needs to be fixed!

Two complaints One - I called three times because the toilet in my room had backed up. Front desk actually apologized that no one came the first time and she says she entered a ticket and promised someone would be there 8am. No one ever came. I had to use the lobby bathroom and my room was on 7th Floor. Two - the Lure restaurant. I had a great evening with my friends. I return the next day solo to get a meal. I was seated and brought water and then never saw anyone again. There were a group of staff at the podium for a moment, I'm ready to order, no one comes over. A moment later there is no one to be found. After 15 minutes, checked by the time on my phone, I got up to leave. I swear I really wanted to spill my glass of water on the table and the floor, very much like a dog peeing the carpet to show my displeasure but good graces got the best of me. I walked next door to the holiday inn which had a burger joint inside. There i was served like a king and left the waitress a $20 tip on a $15 burger because I was genuinely impressed by her attitude and attentiveness especially in light of the rude behavior I was subjected to at the Lure. Hopefully this was a one time thing. As I said I had previous good experience at the Lure, but Thursday, June 6th circa 2pm I received unforgivably rude treatment.
