This Holiday Inn express was the perfect match for our needs. We needed a place to stay as we were passing through on a long drive home . The location was very convenient with plenty of restaurants and a drugstore nearby. The staff was exceptional as they were both friendly and informative. As a bonus, We were able to tour the Buffalo Trace Distillery because it was only half an hour away.

The key to the door would only work 1 time. I had to get a new key every time I went back to my room. Plus it did not smell clean.

Honestly there was nothing wrong with this hotel, it was clean, breakfast was the usual, staff was pleasant, if i had to make one comment the pool towels and bath towels are small. But that's just being picky... I'd stay there again!

Absolutely fantastic. Great location, clean, comfortable, and the staff was so nice. I accidentally left some stuff in my room and they contacted me the day after to arrange to have it mailed to me. I will be staying here again next year when I’m in the area again.

poor customer service from Hotel Staff
I booked a modifiable room but when i went to cancel the night I didnt need there were issues. I thought Hotels.com had taken care of the issue weeks before I went on my trip but found out when I got the hotel that Hotels.com has requested they change my reservation but the hotel manager denied that request and never followed up with anyone. I was told by numerous staff that since I booked a third party there was nothing they would do for me and next time I should book directly with them. I left the hotel expecting a phone call from the manager but after two days of no call, I called the hotel and was told by the manager once again that since i booked a third party they would not refund the second night they charged me for after l left, even though I paid a higher rate so I could modify my reservation. Its obvious to me that the manager at this hotel has very minimal customer service skills and I told her I will continue to book thru hotels.com because I've never had this issue with them before and I often modify trips when things change but I will be sure to not book this hotel ever again after I was degraded numerous times for booking thru a third party. Hotels.com was very helpful during this whole ordeal and I never had an issue getting ahold of staff unlike these poor hotel workers who have a manager that doesn't take weekend calls even if they were supposed to be on "on call"
