I must say this hotel really surprised me with its spacious rooms, almost like a small apartment. The view over the highway was a slight downside as we could hear traffic noise, but it quieted down at night. The room had a lingering smell of smoke, which wasn't too pleasant.

The service here was awesome and super nice. The staff went out of their way to be helpful and friendly, making our stay more enjoyable. They were unable to address the smoke smell until after the family checked out, but they were very accommodating overall.

The hotel's location is convenient right off the highway and at the intersection of two main roads, making it really easy to find, even in the dark. It's great for visiting the Kentucky Horse Park & Keeneland Thoroughbred Racecourse. However, being in an industrial area could be a downside.

Unfortunately, dining options were not included in the price of the room. The thin, crispy fries provided were tasty, but having to pay extra for breakfast was a letdown.

The hotel had a convenient location at the intersection of two main roads, close to events and the horse park. Although the room had some issues with traffic noise from overlooking the highway, it was spacious and equipped with a mini efficiency apartment setup inclusive of a full-size fridge, microwave, dishwasher, and two-burner stove. The service was very accommodating, with the staff offering discounts and being apologetic when needed. The dining experience provided free breakfast and had an egg station available. The hotel's facilities included dry cleaning services, laundry, grocery shopping service, and shops on-site.
