The young man at the desk was very nice and helpful. Everything was clean and the area was safe. The only thing bad was there was some metal pieces sticking out on the side of the bed that we were always skinning our legs on.

Best choice for Keeneland

This hotel is my "go to place" when attending races at Keeneland and doing bourbon trail tasting. The hotel is clean, comfortable, and the staff goes beyond expectations with their friendliness and service. The breakfast is very good. We have stayed here for four consecutive years for the Maker Mark Mile and will do so again. Outstanding stay and excellent customer service.
