I chose the BW due to the location as there were not very many choices in this locale. I flew and drove the better part of the morning and afternoon, so I was very tired. Check-in was smooth and Scott was very friendly and helpful. I removed my shoes in the room and unpacked my bag and after a long morning and afternoon, lay down on the bed in my white socks. I look down at my Socks and turned my foot in and couldn't believe that my white socks were black from the floor. I went to the front desk and Scott was very apologetic and said he would move me to the room next door so that I didn't have to go far...but gave me the key card and said to check it first....It was worse than the initial room. ( I took a towel from the bathroom and ran a wipe on the floor)...Housekeeping was gone for the day. I was tired and just wanted to rest. I requested a mop from the housekeeping room, a bucket and white vinegar. I cleaned my own room!!!! I did not require any housekeeping in my room for the duration of my stay. Also the drain was so clogged that I had to sanitize my feet and ankles after my shower If you're forced to stay here, I suggest that you bring your own cleaning supplies. I stayed 5 days and was insulted when I was offered $50.00 compensation for my inconvenience and/or cleaning

We hadn't stayed here because of the remodel and the hotel being closed for 2 years. But now we came back, it is better than ever. Every part of the hotel that we used had been remodeled, it is amazing. Scott and the rest of the staff do such a great job!

This is a nice, quiet hotel on the outskirts of Ashland, KY. The immediate area around the hotel isn't all that scenic, but the hotel had everything we wanted in an overnight stay... clean, secure, friendly staff, 3 restaurants within walking distance and lastly,.. wonderful showers. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Midge at the front desk recommended the Mexican restaurant across the parking lot. Good food and excellent Lime Margaritas. Thanks!
