Hotel wasnt bad. Not the best area and house keeping didnt come clean our room but the staff we talked to was cery nice. Breakfast was great and rooms were clean upon arrival
I have stayed in a lot worse. The room was clean. The refrigerator worked even though it was wobbly the microwave worked good. Over all we would stay there again. The service was very good. It is an older building so you get what you pay for., it is close to the airport so yes jets fly over low all night long.the parking lot was clean and i didn't see anyone loitering around.
The hotel was amazing! Had an awesome indoor pool, my room had a jetted tub and kitchenette!!! The staff are super friendly (shout out to John at the front desk!) Great breakfast too! All for a really good nightly rate!! If your on a budget and want a nice stay, this is the place!
Couple places to eat around there was good. It was ok to sleep there. It was convenient to get to places.

It was hard to drive to the hotel and it's in a rundown area of town. There was a massage bathtub but the area around the jets looked disgusting. The breakfast was good in a nice room on the third floor.
Poorly maintained property. I was in a "non-smoking room" that smelled like it belonged to a chain-smoker. Furniture was dirty, stained and tearing. Staff was very friendly and the price was cheaper than most alternatives.
First we started in room 305 the air didn't work. The guy at the front desk claimed to fix it and said we could change rooms in the morning. The other room we rented for our daughter had a guy with a backpack every morning and night knocking on the door. All the doors on the 3rd floor. The location is convenient and the staff are nice but stay at your own risk.

The manager was amazing. Great price. Hotel itself was mediocre. Laundry room was disgusting and dryers did not work. The jacuzzi tub was the best part. The indoor pool was ok but the tenants dirtied it up too much to enjoy.
Super convenient for access to the University of Louisville. Facility in need of remodel, noisy, close to the interstate. Breakfast was fine and overall met our purposes.

It was fine. A place to sleep. The room itself was clean I didn’t notice anything. The hotel itself was dirty. There were a lot of homeless people present outside of the hotel, across the street. I saw a man sleeping outside when I first arrived.

Nice people working there. For a quality Inn it does the job. Early check in was very nice!
We stayed in this place for a basketball tournament and I would not recommend… beds were awful! The tub was dirty I had to clean it before we got in! Very badly needs updated the entire place! Pool area was the only thing I would recommend to people the pool area was very nice and warm!
