- ADAnnette DJan 2, 20265.0Wonderful room, asked for a handicapped and was very pleased with it. Nice breakfast, very close to hospital and an easy drive.
- RLRachel LeighDec 30, 20254.0Our first room was a little musty and the ac made a strange noise that disturbed sleep. The second time we stayed here we had a better room. Its proximity to UK hospital is unbeatable. We appreciated having somewhere to stay so close to UK.
- EZEllyse ZamlerDec 14, 20255.0This hotel was excellent. The location was great, there are lots of places to eat around there. The hotel had breakfast every morning and it was so good (biscuits and gravy was my favorite). There was a snow storm that came through and it was honestly nice to be snowed in here. The lobby had a Christmas tree in it…the vibe was just great overall. My favorite part of my room was the bed, it was so comfortable. A few things in my room needed to be looked at and the maintenance person, Dee, was great and fixed everything. Dee deserves a raise because he had a lot of jobs to do that night but he took his time making sure every issue I had was resolved. I felt safe at this hotel, which is so important. I would come here again, hands down.
- BRBob RossDec 7, 20255.0I had to come down for an appointment at uk and booked a standard room at this hotel. Everything was great!!! We loved it and would definitely stay again. Very clean!!!! Only thing I have to complain about is the indoor pool was ice cold,but other than that 5/5 stars for us!!!
- JBJack BinkleyDec 4, 20251.0I found a pill on the floor in my room. It was a stool softener, not necessarily harmful. Then I found animal feces in the corner of my room. Things got scary under the black light.
