I liked the area. There were plenty of places to eat. Easy access to Fort Knox facilities. There were two decent sized Walmarts nearby.
I had no complaints. When I come by again, I will look here, first.

I just loved it. It was quiet and everything was accommodated. I am so happy and I definitely will be coming back next week most likely.
Namaste if you’re worried, don’t be, the staff was pretty friendly seen to all of my needs and I was given my deposit back right away after my stay
My room was also clean. Everything was friendly and on time.!!!!

It looked pretty scuzzy when I pulled up. The staff was very nice. The room seemed clean but there were mold stains on the ceiling and in the bathroom. Also there was a cockroach in our room. The bed was very comfortable

The property and room were clean to an extent. Only concern was the cut blanket and cigarette burn holes on the sheets. There were a large amount of gnats.

Convenient location. Staff was extremely friendly. The wifi did not work from our room. i was able to get on it in the office, but dropped when i was headed back to my attached (same wing) first floor room. i was trying to communicate with a pediatrician about medication, so I was NOT happy, but the “spotty wifi” (clerk’s words) were my only complaint.

Ok for what it was
The good- Price was great, 45 min or so easy commute to Louisville. Food and walmart/ shopping nearby. Staff was excellent. The bad- hardwood floors were sticky and dirty, not the cleanest; walls are thin and was woken up several times by a couple next door arguing. Instead of charging my card $50 for a deposit like they mentioned, they charged me for the entire amount of stay again for a deposit which basically crippled my trip.

The rooms are terrible shape and dirty. There was roaches in the room. The beds were like old prison beds. I left and just sucked it up as loss. Do not stay there. The only thing good i can say is the lady working night shift was great. Other than that you couldn’t pay me to stay there
