Reviews

We booked this hotel in May 2026 with a list of amenities including room refrigerators and microwaves, a hotel pool, and guest bourbon bar. These definitely figured into our booking the hotel. We arrived to find that the hotel was sold in June 2026 and was being renovated. The pool was empty and there was no bar available. Our room had no refrigerator or microwave. Basically a room to sleep, not what we had anticipated. The website still shows no sign of renovations nor were we notified. If this was the case, we would not have stayed here. We will not stay here again.

Beautiful hotel. Loved everything about it. Would stay again.
-
Parking was safe an easy. Everything was great, but the hotel is under renovation and can’t give 5 stars due to that fac.
-
Rooms are clean and comfortable
-
Don’t love the parking garage, because you have to walk through the bus station to get to the hotel.
-
Construction/refurbishment underway way. Restaurant and bar was closed. Housekeeping only came once all week. Refrigerator makes ticking noise. Bathroom faucet drips. Good location for walking.
-
Nothing that was advertised was working because they are remodeling, which could have been updated per the hotel or Expedia. There was no bar, no pool amd no resturant. The rooms had a smell to them, the sheets where dirty in one of the beds upon checking and was brought to the attention of the front desk, nothing was done. Id likely never stay here again which was a complete dissappitment.

Undergoing renovation that intruded on the experience all the time. The price was discounted, though. It really needed updating. The beds were too soft and lumpy, and conveniences were either lacking (no pens/note pads in the room), not working (hair dryer), or unpleasant (very low water flow). Dining was closed except for the buffet hot breakfast, but it was mediocre. Free garage parking is a plus. The staff were friendly and helpful when asked. OK as a place to stay for a few days; hopefully the completion of the renovation will help.

The room was clean but hotel under major construction. Pool is permanently closed and will not reopen although advertised. Just eh.
-
The listing for this hotel is false advertisement. On arrival, the pool, bar and restaurant are all under construction. I understand things need to be rebuilt but, a hotel shouldn't charge normal room rates when the amenities you pay for aren't accessible.
-
Everything was closed. Wasn’t told about this before booking. Dirty and dark. Construction was not cleaned up after each day. Bathroom floor was sticky and no soap in the bathroom. Hotels.com needs to tell people this before booking.

We've stayed here twice this year and once 2 years ago. It's so run down. Electrical wiring is outdated, rooms smell, everything you see, touch is overused and in poor condition. The food at the breakfast area was bland and disappointing. We won't be back.
-
Breakfast was very good with a little bit of everything. Wish the pool was open but maybe next time I visit

Major renovations are underway at this property. So, a lot of the building is being worked on. This isn’t necessarily a terrible thing, but, it did mean it was a little messy. The rooms themselves are definitely dated which is why they’re renovating. The hotel, when it’s done, will likely be very nice again but that takes time. For our 1-night stay it was completely fine and we had no issues. It’s nice and close to the Buffalo Trace Distillery (about 4-5 minute drive) and you can easily walk downtown from the location as well. Parking is easy in the adjacent ramp as well.

Property is undergoing renovations. Staff is friendly and very helpful. Very clean room. Cant wait to return when renovations are completed.
-
Not bad. I’m sure it’ll be much nicer after the renovations are done.
-
Very kind and helpful staff. They were under quite a bit of construction during our stay so there was no use of the pool.
-
Our room itself was clean and comfortable, and so our overall stay was pleasant. But the facility itself is in huge disarray due to construction, which I understand has been ongoing since 2025 and not expected to be finished until late 2027. It would have been nice to know this ahead of time. It was quite shocking because the entire first floor was completely dismantled, and massive scaffolding outside. And the breakfast offerings were sub-par, so we did not even try anything other than some juice and milk. I still have to say that the room was nice and fairly well up to date, so A+ for that.
-
The new parking ramp is nice. The room was clean the breakfast was great. The hotel main floor was being renovated so the restaurant/bar was closed. There were construction noises starting early. The construction vehicles were all parked in the loading area on checkout so loading our luggage had to be done in the transit authority driveway, and that wasn't layed out for that.
-
The breakfast offerings were not very good.
