I had a wonderful experience staying here. The room was spotless, comfortable, and very well maintained. The air conditioning worked perfectly, making the stay relaxing even during warm weather. The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help with any questions or requests.

Another great advantage was the convenient location, with plenty of shops and amenities nearby, making it easy to find everything I needed. Overall, the hotel provided excellent service, comfort, and value for money. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to other travelers. 😊

The hotel is very outdated. Some of the doors do not lock or you have trouble getting into your room because looks like the doors have been busted. The free breakfast seem like it consisted of a hostess coffee cake. There are hardly any covers on the bed basically as sheet and this blanket. The water pipes squeal and make noises. The showers do not produce very hot water. However, the staff that I dealt with was super nice and very professional.

That the front office rang my room with some drunk woman looking for her friends after I had already went to sleep. I didn’t appreciate having to be woken up trying to explain that I wasn’t any of the people this drunk lady was looking for. Then I had a difficult time getting back to sleep. Next time I think I’ll stay where the office knows how to manage their calls and don’t let prior customers disturb me.

Super employees & very comfy room

I really recommend this hotel. While it definitely wasn't the fanciest place I've ever stayed, our room was huge and comfortably furnished with a couch, desk, and BIG television. The mattress was divine and we slept very well. The bathroom was also very spacious with thoughtful amenities. But the best part were the people working at the hotel. They were friendly, gracious, and willing to refund half of my pre-paid stay without blinking an eye. It was obvious that their main concern is the comfort of their guests...there is someone at the front desk 24-hrs a day, back doors are locked at night, there's a nice business station for guest use, and they were happy to refill our ice bucket multiple times late into the evening. There are also several dining options nearby. I would be happy to stay here again if I'm ever in the area.

The hotel is old and badly needs a renovation. It looks like the carpets and furniture has probably never been changed since the hotel was built. The beds were pretty clean and the AC worked well. The shower had hot water but it was extremely creaky when you stepped into it the sound was as like the shower was about to fall apart. The refrigerator in the room hardly worked, but was just able to lower the temp of a drink below room temp. Don’t expect much more then a bed to sleep in, but if that’s all you need it works.

Room was stale smelling, the cover was seemingly dirty - I would not doubt there were bedbugs but I can't prove that yet. Very noisy from outside and terribly noisy a/c unit that woke me up multiple times. Some of the lights did not work. It took about 4-5 minutes to get water warm enough in the morning to take a shower. When I arrived they did not have my Expedia reservation. They did have a room however. When I checked in ty
hey showed me there of 7 day instead of one. After my argument and showing my confirmation, they changed it to one night. Is that enough bad things? The ONLY good thing was that it was close to my business connection.

Everyone at the desk was so friendly and helpful, even showed us how to get to the room and gave us directions to see the Mother Goose house. The bed was amazingly comfortable. It was a convenient stop on our trip. They are still renovating rooms, but ours was very nice. I hope they replace the rugs with washable flooring like other hotels are doing, it seems cleaner and better for people with allergies. Nice on the run breakfast. Thank you.

This is an older motel mostly occupied by travelling construction workers and what I would assume to be homeless people. The room's walls were yellow with smoke stains, the smell was overwhelming, and the noise from the dozen people hanging out in lawnchairs below our room was hard to block out even with A/C on high and a noise machine app on my phone. The carpet and bathroom floor were stained...everything seemed to be very old, very sparse, and not updated (80's-90's maybe?). The check in was fine and the office worker was friendly, but quality and safety seems to be an issue here. The other 2 motels in Hazard were completely booked so we had to stay here, taking the last room per Expedia with a king-sized bed....however upon check in it was one double bed. We were only there to sleep for a few hours before volunteering so after making sure there were no bed bugs we made the best of it and slept. I'd warn a family with children or single mom with kids away from here as it is pretty rough inside and out.

Just passing through and looking for a place to sleep. Based on the decent reviews, ended up here. That’s where the good ends. Check in involved a meeting with what I think was a prostitute and lucky me, she was in the room right next to us!
The room was filthy and the lock on the door didn’t work. The hotel itself was in a run down area. There was a steady flow shady locals, visiting my neighbor and my wife was so freaked out that she demanded we leave that hotel, which we eventually did.
This place was really, really bad. Unless your stopping to visit my neighbor, stay away.. You’ve been warned!.
