Overall Great

Location is second to none, especially if you’re visiting for the Bourbon Trail or any event at the Yum center. Good size place. Only critique is for the cost, they could do little better with comfortable furniture, beds, perhaps some cool whiskey artwork on the walls. a bit like prison walls when you’re sitting in there. Great overall!

Great location but dont rent the 3rd room!!

We rented this property with 2 other couples and could not have picked a better location. Walking distance to 6 distilleries and to some amazing restaurants and bars. There was only 1 problem, the 3rd bedroom is a joke and might be good for little kids but i doubt it. The room had bunk beds which we were aware of but what we didn't know was the bottom bunk was just a mattress on the floor!! Also, there was a creepy hallway that lead to a door which also opened up into what basically looked like a dump/storage hallway. Also in that room was the furnace that was not enclosed in anyway and was loud as hell everytime it kicked on. And then there was the huge window that made you feel like you have no privacy. Wait, 1 more thing. There is no bathroom in that room or 1 that was easily accessible so we had to go into someone elses room in the middle of the night to go ti the bathroom, not cool. All 3 couples were over 60. Great place and location to stay for 2 couples just dont rent the 3rd room.

Ft. Knox Security

The only reason I rated the check in process as a 3 is that navigating the building security can be a slight hassle. But on the positive side, I felt very safe in the building & the security guards were very friendly. One of the key guards would also not let me in to the elevator area. All in all this is a very nice listing & would definitely stay again.
