There is no one to help you with luggage. All of our rooms smelled musty. The hotel is old and needs a major refresh. Also they have the tiniest bathrooms - like NYC sized bathrooms. Positives- you could walk to football stadium and the bar was great but did close at 10 most nights.

Greyson Lake.. A beautiful place located in Kentucky where you can jump on in your bathing suit and start swimming, hop in a kayak, throw your tennis shoes on and start hiking, or simply go cliff jumping off some of the beautiful rocks there. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for an adventurous day. #AquaTrove Everyone please help me win.
