Mary, Gilbert Crossroads, visiting WorkPlay

Really enjoyed our stay. Within walking distance of the Work Play Theater. Very good stay.

Liked: Even though it was by the hospital, it wasn't noisy. The room was clean.
Disliked: There was a strange "new" smell to the room, but you got used to it.

Leslie, Bowling Green, visiting Sloss Furnaces

I really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The staff was very friendly and the room was excellent. The location downtown was ideal for us and the price was EXTREMELY reasonable for the room. I will definitely stay here again in the future and recommend it to others.

Liked: Location; good service; clean room.

Meh.

Liked: Location was right next to the hospital where my husband was admitted and had surgery on Monday 6/16. We had to be there early and we live 2 hours away.
Disliked: The lamp on one side of the bed didn't work.The towel bar in the bathroom fell off the wall and was barely hanging. No fan in the bathroom. Dried up Blood on the middle cover of the bed. Our window to our room was across from the ER. Ambulances were very loud. 260.00 for one night with mediocre room is a lot while having medical bills and hospital stays.
