“Good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

I stay at this hotel quite often given its proximity to UK. It's what you'd expect from a Holiday Inn Express. Nothing super fancy but everything is clean, serviceable, and reliable. Internet access/speed is good. Hotel is within a mile's walking distance of UK and is particularly close to the hospital complex. Also within walking distance of a pretty good Thai restaurant, a few other places to eat, and a gas station/convenience store.

“clean, good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 November 2011

but as other reviewers have stated, the rooms are a bit old, other than that a typical, and clean holiday inn express. Location is great for exploring Lexington, campus, and tailgaiting for football games

“Sparkling pool, great staff, dreary rooms”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 October 2011

Having stayed in many Holiday Inn Express hotels, we got a distinct feeling that this hotel didn't start out as a Holiday Inn. It felt like an older hotel with a new facade, new dining area and obviously a brand new pool area. The people that work there were SO nice and extremely helpful and we truly loved the pool and hot tub area. It was clean and lovely. Unfortunately, when we walked into our room the first thing we saw was a crooked old floor lamp standing in front of an extremely stained luggage bench. The room was small, the carpet needed a good cleaning. The decor was so dark that it made the room look even smaller and, unfortunately, the mattresses were in need of replacement. Wish we had noticed the train tracks very close by before we went to bed! This hotel is in a good location so some things are a trade off. Some of the other reviews mention large rooms but we surely didn't stay in one.

“A typical good, clean Holiday Inn Express”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2011

Everything was just fine here. Clean, little noise, large rooms, all that good stuff. The best part was being able to walk onto the University of Kentucky campus within a few minutes. Their breakfast was typical but extensive and warm and I do love their cinnamon rolls.

It is right next to train tracks but I only heard the train once during my overnight stay (though I did have the AC on all night).

Room Tip: Ask for a fourth floor room so you don't have to listen to the footsteps of the people above you...
