Holiday Inn Express Lexington-SW (Nicholasville)
Nicholasville|0.47km from Walmart Supercenter
Traveling from Michigan, I had business in the area. This hotel appears to be recently remodeled, and the room was very bright and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. What is concerning is the construction of the hotel. This is one of the noisiest places I have stayed at in recent years. The footfall noise from rooms above, the sound of slamming doors up and down the hall, and clearly audible voices from both the hall and adjoining rooms made sleeping very difficult. I'm not talking about 'rowdy' people causing excess noise; just normal family activities and conversations are clearly audible inside the room. Interestingly there was a large gap at the base of the room's door which certainly allowed noise from the hallway to enter. Floors, walls and ceilings appear to be to be made of simple plywood or plasterboard with little or no insulation being used, such that I could clearly hear people and TV's from next door, as well as above and below me. Even the thump of doors being closed downstairs were very loud during the evening hours. At times it sounded like a Tyrannosaurus Rex family was walking around above me. This is the kind of room construction I would expect from a Red Roof Inn or other budget hotel, but most Holiday Inn Express and/or similar competitors have better insulation and design considerations for noise control. Unfortunately, I won't be able to stay there again, as it was very difficult sleeping.
