Overall a good property. The staff needs to be more aware of billing and making sure the correct credit card is charged.

Had to change rooms multiple times for a 1 night stay. First room was freezing, unit not functioning properly, no heat. First told no other rooms available but was moved across the hall. In that room the toilet did not flush and couldn’t call down to desk on room phone. Finally moved to third room. That toilet was loud and seemed to be having some issues but did flush. At that point was just ready to turn in for the night so we could get an early start for our scheduled doctor appointments. We will not be booking any future stays there.
Ernest the van driver was so kind and helpful. Night shift staff were friendly and helpful!
This property was much more comfortable than the expensive hotel that I had left.
Keep up the good work.
Disgusting! The hotel itself and lobby are decent but rooms are beyond gross. Musty dirty smell, hair in bathroom, sheets smell like they have never been washed, stained pillows and half an inch of dust on every surface. Front desk attendants were too busy on their phone to assist and seemed bothered when asked anything. Worse Holiday Inn we ever stayed at.
Only gave us 1 towel for shower. The air conditioner/fan sounded louder than the planes landing at the airport. Front lobby had water and coffee but... it was always empty. Breakfast had no water or milk. They never replenished anything. And bed and pillows were uncomfortable. Definitely wasted money staying there. 👎👎👎✊️
This hotel would have 5 stars from me if not for the breakfast. The turkey sausage and eggs I literally spit out they tasted so bad, and the coffee if you can call it that was basically water. That being said, the hotel was super clean, beds were very comfy, safe, and in a great location especially if you are going to a UofL football game! Would stay here again and just go out to breakfast which we ended up doing anyways!
