The hotel was very good, my issue arose when dealing with the staff. Before I had arrived I had spoken with a worker over the phone about the tax exemption I had as I was bringing a group of students. Upon checking it the individual at the desk told me "the morning person has to do that." So I left a copy of my tax form with them. In the morning I am going to check out and I ask about it and I am told "the night person had to do that" I explained what I was told the evening before and then I am told that they will leave it to be dealt with. The problem never got fixed and I ended up having to pay my school back the tax out of my own pocket. Just very disappointing that they were not willing to help at all.

Typical small breakfast buffet. Parking garage is next to building with a 7 foot clearance, my 2024 Dodge 2400 full size fit with 5 inch to spare. Didn't use facilities. Staff was good in my interactions. Rooms clean, nice shower. Has 2 little vending machines and a cooler with ice cream and one with beer and some snacks in lobby you can buy. Obviously at a premium but good to have.
Parking garage clearance for trucks. And yes it's extra to park. 9$ through my app or 20 in hotel
Parking garage clearance for full size truck. Had to pay extra for parking.

Good hotel, clean and tidy and the area around it is good It’s within walking distance of bars and restaurants The day we arrived, it took 30 mins to check in, as the queue was out the door. Which is unacceptable, no explanation or apologies given. This wasn’t due to a rush at 3pm people trying to check in Overall a good place to stay with a good breakfast

In the morning of day 2, I was seriously scraped by a sharp bracket holding the mattress in place. I reported it and was told it would be taken care of. The next day, nothing happened and I was told the manager was aware of it. We checked out on morning 5 and nothing had been done despite my daily complaints. Housekeeping put the trash buckets on counters, repeatedly - different counters. Towels were hard to exchange. When I got home, I tried 3 times to report it higher up. Nothing. I've been a rewards member for years and never saw anything this bad. The heat/AC was quiet and breakfast was good. Would not stay there again.

The location of this property was good for accessing the Louisville Slugger museum (which we enjoyed very much) and several other museums (Frazier, Ali, etc). Michters and Peerless distilleries are also in the area, but others are at the other end of the downtown. The variety of restaurants in this area is limited, most are located 1/2 mile away. The city blocks are big so keep in mind that a 5 or 6 block walk is a fair distance in bad weather. Overall, this hotel did not disappoint us and the price was right. The best part of this stay was the service and attention provided by the front desk manager.... he was awesome!
