In the morning of day 2, I was seriously scraped by a sharp bracket holding the mattress in place. I reported it and was told it would be taken care of. The next day, nothing happened and I was told the manager was aware of it. We checked out on morning 5 and nothing had been done despite my daily complaints. Housekeeping put the trash buckets on counters, repeatedly - different counters. Towels were hard to exchange. When I got home, I tried 3 times to report it higher up. Nothing. I've been a rewards member for years and never saw anything this bad. The heat/AC was quiet and breakfast was good. Would not stay there again.

The location of this property was good for accessing the Louisville Slugger museum (which we enjoyed very much) and several other museums (Frazier, Ali, etc). Michters and Peerless distilleries are also in the area, but others are at the other end of the downtown. The variety of restaurants in this area is limited, most are located 1/2 mile away. The city blocks are big so keep in mind that a 5 or 6 block walk is a fair distance in bad weather. Overall, this hotel did not disappoint us and the price was right. The best part of this stay was the service and attention provided by the front desk manager.... he was awesome!

No, I would not choose to stay here again. We came from out of town, I was looking forward to relaxing in a bath, but, NO BATH!. ONLY A SHOWER! Very disappointing, especially when the advertising never said showers only. The lady at the front desk that evening was very rude & rushed. I watched her be rude with the 2 guests in front of me, Because she said she needed the bathroom. So, that let me know, they were short staffed!!.. She absolutely did not want to answer any questions, and I had never been there before!.. How they have there parking set up is an absolute circus!!. It took us 10min to find the front at the motel took us longer to find the parking garage. Because it's a one-way street!. When I booked the room I asked for a king size bed, we got two full size beds. I asked for our room to be on a high floor, we got a low floor. And check out time is WAY to early, especially for someone that doesn't get there until 8:00 or 9:00 in the evening Good night before! So no, I would not recommend this motel!

The overall experience was wonderful. The room was clean and comfortable, and the amenities were most welcome. Check-in was quick and staff friendly. Loved the updated bathroom! My only concern were the room outlets. Most of them did not work because the plugs were worn. Otherwise, was a great stay!

Our stay was great. We stayed for 2 nights. The room was perfect for the 4 of us. Our reservation said suite with 1 bedroom, but it was basically all one room, so that was a little disappointing. But overall, everything was excellent.
