They cancelled my reservation for no reason

My daughter and I drove 2000+ miles in 5 days. We arrived in Lexington at 12:30 am after wing in the car for 12 hours. We were told our reservation was cancelled because my card was declined. I know this is a lie 1) because I used that same card for the other 4 hotels we stayed at and every meal we ate without an issue 2) my cc company would’ve notified me. So no call, no email, no text. They just cancelled my room and we had to find a new place to stay at 1 am.

Gross

Roach i our bathroom, mold on the shower curtain. I wanted to leave as soon as possible. People stay here for extended times and have grilles and chairs on their patios. Lesson learned: You get what you pay for, $80, but really worth around $60 just for the bed; at least the floor was nice and not old carpet. Never again - for dinner check out The Palm Restaurant so good!

Nice hotel with a nice view

We stayed here overnight, and it was very comfortable. We appreciated the dog-friendly room on the first floor with the sliding patio door so we could easily walk the dogs. The view from this hotel is amazing. Nice view of the mountains. The only drawback was finding food. There are hardly any restaurants in the area. Despite in-room advertisements for KFC and Dominoes, both restaurants were closed. And of course the old Howard Johnson's restaurant onsite was long closed... it would have been nice to have a restaurant right there. So we ate road snacks for dinner and looked forward to free breakfast in the morning. The waffles were the bright spot in an otherwise so-so breakfast. If you are staying here, have a backup plan for food. But otherwise, a very comfortable stay. Staff is friendly.
