I moved from VA to KY for a job in Frankfort (the capital), and needed a place to stay until I found an apartment somewhere between Frankfort and Lexington. The room was what I expected for $45/night (discounted via a travel website): small, somewhat dirty, stained and well-worn carpet, tiny bathroom. That night, at about 1 in the morning, I was shocked out of bed by the sound of a train blowing its horn. It turned out to be about a half-mile away! I am a very light sleeper, and the slightest noise is enough to keep me awake the rest of the night, so you can imagine how tired I was when morning came. I asked for a room change, which was difficult because the hotel was booked solid. I suffered another day/night in that room (along with the noisy train!), and was moved to a room on the other side of the hotel (hopefully, to reduce the amount of train noise, which it didn't!), but it was without a working TV or microwave. So they moved me again. Well, at about 10pm, a car's alarm system went off. Guess whose room it was parked in front of? Needless to say, it went on and off throughout the entire night for no apparent reason (there was a very light snow, but no wind or other reason for it to go off; it was just too sensitive). Despite complaints to the front desk, nothing was done (they ask for license plate numbers so they know which car is for which guest, and, presumably, to tow away cars that are left in the lot for too long that are not so registered). A cop even showed up (he was on his normal patrol), but he drove off when he saw that the car wasn't being molested). As it turned out, the driver was on the other side of the hotel sound asleep. What good is a car alarm if the owner isn't anywhere near it? For that matter, what good is it if the owner IS near it??? Anyway, I told the hotel that I couldn't stay there any more because of the three nights' lack of sleep. They were decent enough to knock-off one of the nights from the bill, but that didn't help with my sleep deprivation. I've learned a lesson from this: check out how far the hotels are from airports, train stations, arenas, and other noise inducing sources. The staff was nice, but the rooms needed major overhauling, and the staff has to be there 24 hours a day (they close shop between 11pm and 6am; what do they do if anyone who has to leave between those hours?). I can't recommend this hotel unless you are a VERY heavy sleeper and don't give a hoot about the accommodations.
