Handy roadside location in Lexington’s outskirts
Theme parks, the university, horse-racing tracks, golf courses and downtown Lexington were all conveniently within easy reach of this motel just off the intersection of Interstate 75 and US Route 60 in the city’s eastern suburbs. Guests also thought it was handy to have gas stations plus a wide selection of shopping and dining options to choose from in the immediate vicinity. The free on-site parking was another plus.

Clean, functional and affordable rooms
Although they reportedly weren’t fancy, the bright and simple rooms were well-cleaned and more than sufficiently comfy for a quick stay, according to many visitors. Budget-conscious guests often claimed they got good value for money as the rooms were normally reasonably priced.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Wi-Fi charges were criticized
It disappointed reviewers that they had to pay a small charge for using the motel’s Wi-Fi network. Moreover, there were also claims that the service was beset by slow speeds and unreliable coverage at times.
negative:
Nuisance noises and smells
Pet smells and lingering smoke bothered visitors in certain rooms. Meanwhile, some light sleepers unlucky enough to have inconsiderate neighbors claimed soundproofing measures were insufficient as noise traveled rather easily through thin walls from time to time.
negative:
No frills format had shortcomings
Critics occasionally noted that some of the rooms felt a little cramped when fully occupied. Others felt the no frills format went too far as breakfast wasn’t provided and the rooms lacked shampoo and hairdryers. Some reviewers also expressed concerns about maintenance and cleanliness standards in several rooms. These included trash left behind by previous guests, stained linens, tired-looking furniture and old-style televisions with small screens.
