I called days before arrival to ask for early check in, Due to a football game at 4 PM, was told to call back at noon the day of, I called and was then told No check in until 3 pm. I arrived at 12:30 PM the parking lot had only a few cars, we walked in and ask again for an early check in and was told 3 PM. We sat in the lobby for hours, surrounded by gnats, while no one walked out of the hotel and a few came in and sat and waited with me. we watched while the desk clerk was watching videos on her phone and we could hear it. Finally got to put our luggage in the room and make it to the game in time. I have stayed in many hotels in the area and never had to wait that late. After arriving to the room, the door was closed but not completely which was a bit scary, thank goodness my husband was with me this trip. Coming back from the game we could not use 1 of the 2 elevators due to water in the floor leaking from the ceiling of the elevator? Was not even raining outside. No bottles of water in the room to make coffee. The window unit was loud and ran most of the night, door to the door you could see light all the way around it, I was afraid all night that someone could easily come in.

Had to change rooms multiple times for a 1 night stay. First room was freezing, unit not functioning properly, no heat. First told no other rooms available but was moved across the hall. In that room the toilet did not flush and couldn’t call down to desk on room phone. Finally moved to third room. That toilet was loud and seemed to be having some issues but did flush. At that point was just ready to turn in for the night so we could get an early start for our scheduled doctor appointments. We will not be booking any future stays there.

Disgusting! The hotel itself and lobby are decent but rooms are beyond gross. Musty dirty smell, hair in bathroom, sheets smell like they have never been washed, stained pillows and half an inch of dust on every surface. Front desk attendants were too busy on their phone to assist and seemed bothered when asked anything. Worse Holiday Inn we ever stayed at.

Only gave us 1 towel for shower. The air conditioner/fan sounded louder than the planes landing at the airport. Front lobby had water and coffee but... it was always empty. Breakfast had no water or milk. They never replenished anything. And bed and pillows were uncomfortable. Definitely wasted money staying there. 👎👎👎✊️

Safe & Clean... pay for breakfast elsewhere.
This hotel would have 5 stars from me if not for the breakfast. The turkey sausage and eggs I literally spit out they tasted so bad, and the coffee if you can call it that was basically water. That being said, the hotel was super clean, beds were very comfy, safe, and in a great location especially if you are going to a UofL football game! Would stay here again and just go out to breakfast which we ended up doing anyways!
