Very friendly very clean and overall a comfortable stay. I would highly recommend this to anyone that is visiting University of Kentucky for orientation for freshmen it is a 6 minute drive away. You have several restaurants around for your lunch or dinner needs. They also have excellent snacks in lobby, the amenities are awesome you can work out, and you can also do laundry. The only downfall is it's right next to a hospital it can be a little noisy but I knew that when I made the redservation. I did not see that as a downfall but as a blessing just in case there was an emergency I literally could walk across the street. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Convenient to family. Not too far from thing's to do. The AC unit for being a fairly new Hotel, is entirely to noisy. Made it near impossible to sleep.

I booked thos property because the online page said it had a large, indoor pool and hot tub. We drove 7 hours to get here to learn that it has NEVER had a pool! They are aware the website shows pictures of a pool but they havnt taken it down! The full breakfast was very good! The room and entire facility was nice
