“NOT what is listed!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 July 2011

Advertised amenities are wrong: there is no pool, no restaurant, no room service, no casino. Breakfast consists of pre-packaged danishes and coffee. All fire extinguishers were missing from the stairwells.
More subjectively, our room was DIRTY! Within 5 minutes of taking off our shoes, the bottoms of our feet were BLACK. The shower hadn't been cleaned in a very long time and the shower head was barely 5 feet high. A 6' piece of the faux marble vanity was missing.
They DID accept pets, but the housekeeper agreed not to enter the room (no do-not-disturb signs) because our large dog was in her kennel in the room, but as soon as we moved our car, she went in anyway.

Room Tip: stay in Paducah

“One of the best hotels under 60 I've stayed this year”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 June 2011

As the last review said, the hotel is conveniently located and recently renovated. They are indeed nice rooms, especially for the price, with tasteful, contemporary decoration, flat screen TV, and as adequate space as you could expect for such a room.

My room was already cooled when I went in, with the air going and comfortable. Unlike the previous reviewer, my room was clean and stain free. The bed was clean and comfortable and I had a great night's stay. Great sleep quality. It was quiet, despite the hotel appearing to be half full. No one disturbed me, especially the morning staff. I never heard them.

And there was no typical motel smell either. It was great.

Also, the hotel also has WiFi with a great broadcast and reception.

“Ok, but could be better for the price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 October 2010

This was a lower priced hotel, but even at the price we pay I would expect a little better. The rooms have been newly remodeled and are beautiful, but ours wasn't very clean. There was a spray of something the color of dried blood on the bathroom wall--not sure what it was. From the website it didn't appear that all the rooms opened to the outdoors, I was expecting an interior hallway. At 7:30am my fiance and I were woken up by one of the cleaning staff yelling to another staff member outside our door.
For no continental breakfast and no pool I guess I would have rather paid $10 more and stayed at another chain down the road that had both.
