This hotel is in an excellent location to the sites and restaurants in the downtown area..just a short walk..about 1/4 mile and you are there. Also as a plus side note, it is about a mile from Oaklawn Horse Track. The reception is very friendly and welcoming, but no reception after 11pm M-Th and 12AM on weekends. The price is very reasonable, compared with other hotels in the area. There is a little go cart area attached to the hotel and it can get pretty noisy during the day.
The rooms were recently updated according to the staff. They are pretty large and most come with a microwave and refrigerator. No hair dryer, iron, or coffee pot, so bring your own if you require those items.
Warning: the room we stayed in had bed bugs..apparently it was the only room in the hotel that did since no one else complained. We reported it to the cleaning lady who notified the reception. I really hate to say anything negative about the hotel but do not want anyone else to sleep in a bug ridden room. So my advice if you stay here is to check all of the bedding for black droppings, and along the mattress and head boards for the bugs. Unfortunately, we failed to do this-not realizing there was a problem, and thought the bites we had were from mosquito's. If you don't see any bugs but you wake up in the morning with bites and blood smears on the sheets check out and get another room!
