The paint was peeling on the walls. The shower was small and disgusting. My girlfriend and I refused to shower in it. The overall room felt dirty. Free breakfast was just some eggs, undercooked sausages and waffles. And the coffee machine was broken. Would not recommend for the price we paid.

Terrible for $140

The whole place needs a rehab. Signs and claims of “No Smoking” but it smelled of smoke. 3rd floor smelled bad. Coffee machine in lobby was broken. No AC in lobby. At least I dont think I brought home bed bugs. We’ll see tho…

I stayed 6 days. On the 7th day they started tearing off the roof. I'm glad I left, they were throwing everything off the roof on to vehicles below ! The room smelled like cigarettes and I don't smoke! Live and learn...

This was a decent place for a short stay in Louisville however i found some of the front desk staff a bit absent minded with certain questions and help. Other than this, there wasn't much more i can add except in future they need to inform guests of why fees are taken from cards if "reserve now, pay later" options are chosen!

Coffee machine was broken in the “breakfast area”, on Monday morning the “breakfast” was 1 bagel and 3 pieces of bread and no fruit. The plug for our sink was missing. 2 light bulbs over our sink were out and didn’t get replaced despite 2 requests. We were greeted by staff taking a break on the front couch customer area, spilling food crumbs all over. Subsequent approaches to the hotel were met by staff smoking right outside the doors. Front doors constantly open as the only air movement in the lobby.
