Stay while visiting UK

We stayed here while visiting University of Kentucky. The hotel was a ten minute drive to the University which was perfect. The hotel is located near many food options and a grocery store which was convenient. The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly. Breakfast was good. And coffee was available all day long.

I have stayed here a few times. I also stay at other hotels in other cities and this location is, by far, the best!! The staff is always pleasant, the condition and cleanliness of all the spaces is always 5 stars and even the food is better than other Holiday Inn Express locations. I highly recommend this location.
