It’s an old hotel and the Liqour store in the parking lot attracts a lot of homeless people. It worked as a hub for the Kentucky derby when all other hotels are booked out or $$$$$. But it’s a motel and it’s no frills and showing its age.

The truth is I was a little nervous at using a downtown Econo Lodge. But, I was surprised at every turn. The room was cleaner than many other hotels I've stayed in. The staff were very helpful. The parking area was clean with lights that made it feel very safe at night. I would definitely stay here again.
