If you've had enough of honking traffic and busy cities, grab your boots and head out into nature. It'll be all around you when you walk Legacy Trail.

When it comes to free experiences or attractions to put on your Downtown itinerary, Legacy Trail is a fine place to start. But this trekking route is just one of many sights that lure tourists to this food-lovers area. Make your way to nearby Rupp Arena, Kroger Field and Mary Todd Lincoln House to top off a pleasant day of sightseeing.

8/10 Very Good! (1,001 reviews)

The staff was very friendly and the hotel is located near a lot of food options. The room was a little more dated than I expected compared to photos especially the bathrooms. Other than that it was good and bed was very comfortable

8.8/10 Excellent! (1,000 reviews)

Room, service and breakfast were excellent, but a lot of kids-teenagers making a lot noises running everywhere in the corridors (3rd floor, at least) up to 12 midnight, help putting some restrictions in writing but nothing was around. I complained about but nothing (at the front desk-call) a male answer; I complained again around 11:30-12pm and female answer and this time she when to check, she did a great job for both sides.
