Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel lobby was very nice and the room was clean. Note that there is not a free breakfast like there is at other IHG properties. The hotel is very close to Churchill Downs which is convenient if attending the races. It is also close to the airport which can be convenient.But the hotel is right at a landing runway. We could hear the airplanes most of the night....built in white noise? Overall it was a decent stay.
