“If your options are slim on a holiday weekend”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 September 2010

So, this is it in a nutshell. I stayed here for 6 days and they cleaned my room one time. At my insistence might I add. I stayed in the third room from the office and housekeeping skipped me everyday. This go round I was working from 11am-12am. I had to be out of the room by 10:30 everyday to be ontime. The last thing anyone wants is to be gone all day at work and come back to a dirty room. I don't expect Marriot style amenities or treatment at a Motel 6. I also don't expect the old lady at the front desk to get smart with me either. I queried as to whether or not housekeeping was gonna clean my room, its 4:30pm mind you, and Herlana smarts off that "well, they're not off yet so I'm sure they'll get around to it." Liars! I saw the housekeeper pull off in her car. I just think maybe she didn't like me so she didn't care, but why should I have to empty my own garbage, vacuum my own room, and change the sheets myself and get new towels for myself daily? I mean, DAMN I already clean the bathroom myself because I take long showers or baths so I come into a room first with only Lysol and Bleach to clean that first before I even bring in my luggage.Also, the crickets running under the door and the fruit fly convention/family reunion going on in my room where I didn't even have food were too much. They lusted after my scented candles and body wash!
On the flip side, my room was close to the office and quiet as hell. Except when ppl from second floor were coming/going during peak times and that wasn't even that bad. Steps are wooden so that explains the noise. The office staff other than Herlana were nice too. I just feel like I'm easy to deal with because I'm always out of my room so the least they could do is clean it. Those are my gripes. Pros: Walmart, waffle house, starbucks, mickey ds, wendys, gas station, and Hustler Hollywood all in walking distance. Like 1 to 3 minute walking distance.

“Total bargain”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2010

We had to stop on the way to Cincinatti as we were to tired to go on.

50$ (total) for a twin room, clean, with tv, AC, a clean bathroom and friendly staff. I could not ask for more!

My Internet access did not work but I could use the unprotected wifi access from a McDonald's accross the street, so if your room is next to the lobby, do not pay for the web!

If I had something to do in Lexington and if I had a car, this hotel would be my first choice. At that price, you just cannot go wrong!

“Not worth the $ saved.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2010

I realize that this hotel is bargain priced however; my visit was extremely disappointing & embarrassing.
The 1st room that was given to me & my family smelled strongly of cat urine. The 2nd room was smoky, but I gave up. The bathroom was dirty, carpets stained, linens stained, & the water pressure was so strong my children could not take a shower because it hurt them. The sink faucet made terrible noises when turned on.
I also got a room for my brother & his family. The bathroom was dirty, carpet stained, and worst of all there were huge stains on the sheets and bed so they decided to all sleep on 1 bed rather than complaining.
The ice machine kept breaking and had a bunch of towels around it to soak up the leaking pipes. The rooms had no clocks/alarm clocks. The lobby was bare and had absolutely no decoration.
Given all this, the lady that checked us in was VERY NICE! She tried her best.
I know you get what you pay for but this was really bad. $50 was about $30 too much for that crappy of a room.

“Clean rooms, reasonable price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 June 2010

Our room was very clean, the price was very reasonable- the only complaint we had was the beds. The mattresses were worn out and the springs in the mattress went off like a cannon *BOING* everytime one of us rolled over lol If we had been staying for a few days it would have been a problem but since we stayed as a quick overnight to our final destination we made it thru one night.
