Great overnight for less!!
I'm not very picky when I travel for business. All I'm looking for is a clean bed and free wi-fi. This place had those things and an incredibly friendly staff! I just booked another stay at this very hotel for a pleasure trip!

Convention Junkie
Convention Center close
While the room was standard, the bathroom was old with a stick used to prop up the sink. The added bonus of having a balcony was offset by the fact that it faced a gas station and a moderately busy street. The location was a short 3 block walk to the convention center and social district. Parking was charged at $5 per vehicle per night. Good utilitarian accomodation for the business traveller but just not for the vacationer.

Be sure to pack a hat for cold weather in winter as there are not many places to buy in the immediate area.

Low cost - good location w/ easy parking
The room was recently renovated and exceeded expectations, but don't expect a cozy lobby or any amenities. Location is good and price is almost half the hotels accross the street. As expected amenities were spartan at best (breakfast was poor and not a lot of immediate options in the area & fitness equipment was dated and not working.) A good easy option if you need to stay downtown and price is a major consideration.

Dissappointed in KY
Good location but........................
Stayed there Mon, Tue, Wed. for a convention. Not a nice part of town. Constantly pestered by minorities asking for a handout while walking to and from 4th Street. Little police presence. The room was OK for what I paid but certainly nothing special. Very weak WIFI signal. Unlike a real hotel with multiple walls, the single wall motel construction allowed traffic noise during the day and siren noise in all night. The room were very clean but the parking lot, sidewalks and stair cases were filthy with dirt, old wads of chewing gum and other grime. The breakfast had the standard OJ, apple juice dispensor and the several day old pastries which seems to be the norm in most discount motels. Next year I will make reservations earlier and stay at the Marriot. The extra cost will be worth a good night's sleep.

This hotel's location could not be better. It is a few blocks' walk from essentially any restaurant/nightlife you could think of. The room was appropriately appointed for the price, and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Just OK
This is one of the cheapest downtown hotels so it does have that going for it. Free parking, and free WiFi are nice perks for the downtown area. Close to 4th St Live and many downtown attractions. The hotel may have been re-done in the last couple of years, but it's still showing its age. My room on this stay was clean, some stays it has been and some not so much. Housekeeping knocked on my door every morning despite the Do Not Disturb sign I put in the key slot. Don't expect to watch tv either, they've had the same sign at the front desk for a long time now claiming a temporary cable problem, so you'll only get 8-10 channels and a couple of times the tv in my room was only in black & white.
