Clean room. Staff super friendly and we enjoyed the bar service. Can’t say the bar food was much to brag about - I had their French onion soup and my friend had the wings. They were just above average. The deviled eggs were rubbery. Nice that the parking is free.

The property is great and convenient to the Kentucky Horse Park. The lobby area is lovely and inviting so was surprised to find incredibly basic guest rooms. When did Marriott switch to having no carpet in their rooms?

Clean hotel; check-in was an absolute terror. I felt sympathetic for the front desk associate how this was not in her control. The app allowed my party to check in early. For this arrive early but “no rooms” were ready for check in. I had to get ready for an event in a lobby bathroom…

My check in time was supposed to be 4pm. I had tickets to a college football game and wanted to get into my room and change clothes for the game. My room was not ready. We waited in the lobby an hour and then I had to change for the game in the lobby bathroom because I had to leave for the game before my room was ready. For what I paid for this room it was really disappointing I didn’t get to even check in until I came back from the game near midnight. I felt like something should have been to compensate us for the inconvenience and stress this caused.

I booked with Expedia and they held $600 when I checked in instead of the $75 they were supposed to hold for incedentals. The credited me back my resort fee, which was nice. But it was quite inconvenient to have that much held without my knowledge.
