| Hotel is not too bad, going under renovations and the construction is suppose to be completed by October at that point, the hotel will change over to a Crown Plaza. It's only about a 5 minute van ride from the airport. The hotel does feel "old and dated" as you walk in, but it's not too bad overall. The vans will take you depending on the demand, but if you want to go further out, they charge you, so be careful when asking for a ride and make sure to ask if there will be a charge or not. The staff was very friendly. There's a bowling alley across the street. Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom is literally across the street within walking distance (or have the van drop you off and pick you up). Buy your discounted tickets from the front desk of the hotel for a price of $24 rather than the $39 at the gate of Six Flags. Free wireless internet in the rooms and lobby. Business center if under renovation so they will take you across the street to their sister hotel and you can use the business center there free of charge, or you can just cross the street and walk there. |
| Places To Eat: |
| Not too much around to eat. The hotel does have a restaurant but it's a bit pricey even though we get a discount. Ask the front desk for a few options and they'll give you a ride to a few places. We went to a place called Fifth Quarter and it was not too bad. The food was o.k. and priced well. They do have $1.50 drafts during happy hour. There's a McDonald's, Taco Bell, and a few other fast food places that the van will take you to as well. |
| Things To Do: |
| Besides bowling and Six Flags, not much. |

| My crew stayed at this hotel on 7/18-19 and did not have as nice of stay as the previous respondent. On the plus side, the van driver was there waiting. Everyone was very courteous. The room was only slightly over average. On the negative side, as we walked to our rooms, a strong smell of cigarette smoke was observed in the hallway. The smoke seeped under the massive crack at the bottom of the door. We were awoken to jackhammers at 7:00am on Saturday morning. Since only two airlines (ExpressJet and Frontier) stay at this hotel, there is not a dedicated crew quiet floor so if you plan on sleeping in after a late overnight arrival, Forget it! |
| Places To Eat: |
| We ate in the hotel, the service and food was good and it was comparatively priced |
| Things To Do: |

| Hotel Comments: |
| Newly renovated, rooms are nice. Very short van drive, it took longer to get our bags in the van than to drive to the hotel. 100% no-smoking hotel said the front desk, not sure if they have smoking areas or not. Wireless is actually not slow, I got 200k+ download and upload speeds. |
| Places To Eat: |
| Van driver mentioned McDonald's and Taco Bell nearby, but was a little uncertain of any real restaurants in the vicinity. Hotel has a restaurant too, sounded pricey though. |
| Things To Do: |
| There's an amusement park across the street, which I imagine is the only reason this hotel is in the system still. Early show prevented me from braving the town. |

| Hotel Comments: |
| Must be a new hotel? Some confusion about discounts in restaurant, but ultimately no discount for us. Old hotel, but very close to airport for short overnights. Ordered food in since restaurant would not give us a discount. Great Chinese food from place called "Great Wok". Menus at bell stand. We were on a short overnight, so didn't go out. Wireless was reallllly slow in rooms. |
| Places To Eat: |
| Didn't go out but heard van driver mention Cracker Barrel nearby. |
