What's nearby

  • Kentucky State University was chartered in May 1886 as the State Normal School for Colored Persons, only the second state-supported institution of higher learning in Kentucky.[1] During the euphoria of Frankfort's 1886 centennial celebration, the city donated $1,500 towards the purchase of land for a new college on a bluff overlooking Frankfort. The new school formally opened on October 11, 1887, with three teachers, 55 students, and John H. Jackson as president.[1] Recitation Hall (now Jackson Hall), the college's first permanent building, was erected in that year. KSU became a land-grant college in 1890, and the departments of home economics, agriculture and mechanics were added to the school's curriculum.[1] The school produced its first graduating class of five students in the spring of that year. A high school was organized in 1893. This expansion continued into the 20th century in both name and program. In 1902, the name was changed to Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute for Colored Persons. The name was changed again in 1926 to Kentucky State Industrial College for Colored Persons.

Dirtiest motel I have ever stayed in. Dried feces, vomit and possibly blood on walls around toilet. The smell of wet shower and mold permeatedmtue air. It was well lit, quiet and in a good location. The bed was reasonably comfortable.

Old but ok

The room was clean it's just an old Motel I will say that if it's very quiet there and it was very very well lit outside I felt safe there, although I did find a bed bug in the bed and it did but my arm a few times so therefore we will not be staying there again.

It wasn’t a terrible place for a last minute stay, the staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel itself is rundown and needs updating. Our room wasn’t dirty persay but it was dingy, the blanket had holes in it the walls had holes in them and the shower was mildewy and just bleh. It was ok for like a night we ended up leaving early though. Probably wouldn’t stay here again if I had other options.

Not bad

Wasn't bad for the price. Great location for the event I attended. Room was clean, bed was comfortable. Staff was friendly. Only thing I had an issue with was people screaming/slamming doors in the middle of the night and then again early AM. But it's not the hotel's fault if customers act that way.

This motel was ok for a one night stay as a traveler passing through. The staff was pleasant and assisted willingly when I needed help turning on the shower. The hotel had a decent looking paint job outside but the room was very old and tired looking. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were terrible. Sometimes it's hard to tell if old things are clean but I think the room was basically clean. Appliances and a/c worked fine.

Hidden fees. I got charged an extra $20 after i booked the room. The first hour we were there i wanted to leave. I felt very u comfortable there. The shower door was shattered it was not a very good night to say the least. If i had known what i was going to be staying in i would have chose somewhere else or stayed in the car.

Troubled neighbors

Check in was very smooth. The room was clean but sparse. This was a very last minute booking as I drove till I was tired and then looked to see what was available at my current location. Upon finding my room I was right next to what I thought was the teenagers room of a family and Dad was checking in on them as I arrived. All was well till about 11 pm then I heard fighting next door and the sound of someone being slammed against the wall. "The Dad" appeared at their door and one of them was escorted out to the car that was in front of my ground floor room's window. They stayed out there talking till 2 am then drove off. "The Mom" was heard saying that they have left and the rest of them should go to sleep. This left me with a very restless sleep worrying that, in anger, the other one might attempt a drive by shooting or something. I'll remind the reader that I'm only describing them as my 1st impression. I have no idea as to actual relationship of these people. I left at 6 am trying to get out, before that neighbor chaos started back up. None of this is the lodges fault, but the experience will stop me from returning.

The room was dirty like the switches for the lights were black around them with layers of old dirt. I killed one big in the bathroom. Sheets had stains on them. Was pretty sketchy over all. No one caused problems just not somewhere I'd stay again if I can help it.

Staff was ok just couldn’t completely understand what he was saying. Got our room and no outlets worked. There was no shower head but the water worked. We went back down to the office to ask for another room and got it. There was a shower head but no working water and there was also a roach beside the bed. Apparently dogs are allowed and cats are not but we saw a cat in one of the room windows. We couldn’t get a refund either so $140 down the drain.
