Very good

This property was super clean and comfortable. The front desk. Staff was outstanding. I can’t think of a single thing they need to improve on during my stay.
The Hotel was very clean .The staff was very friendly. However, the surrounding area had a lot of crazy drivers. Also, the bathroom door in the room was heavily scratched up and did not lock.
Area is a littlle run down. Can see building graffiti. Hotel needs some attention. Carpet looked dirty. Furniture a little beat up. Otherwise, an okay hotel, excellent staff. The good breakfast. Clean pool. Comfortable beds. Fairly clean. No pot odors. Close to airport, Kentucky Kingdom, airport and restaurants.
Room was very nice and comfortable. Check-in was okay with the exception of the desk clerk. VERY unfriendly. The two young men on the front desk that evening were exceptionally friendly and helpful.
Complimentary breakfast was very good.
