"Late 2000s Holiday Inn Express that got Newly Renovated"

10.0

The hotel was very nice and clean. But there were people stomping around on the upper floors while trying to sleep as our room is on the first floor. It has an indoor pool open at 9:00 AM TO 11:00 PM at the back of the hotel. And a fitness center and guest laundry that is open for 24 hours. Breakfast was delicious as all Holiday Inn Express has good cinnamon rolls. If you’re looking for a place to stay near the University of Kentucky campus, I highly recommend this hotel for your lodging needs. The reason we stayed here because we have to be at the hospital for our friend’s surgery at 9:15 in the morning.

"Holiday Inn stay."

The location was fine..

When checking out, female staff was on her phone socializing. Breakfast was late being served. The king size bed was too hard and uncomfortable.

Breakfast and close location to where I needed to be.

Noisy…trains, emergency vehicles sirens, squeaky bed. Just a lot of noise! Difficulty with sleeping
