Absolutely Disappointed – Never Again
I rarely leave negative reviews, but this stay was so bad I feel obligated to warn others. We stayed at SureStay by Best Western in Florence, KY, and it was by far the worst hotel experience I’ve had. From the moment we walked in, the entire place reeked of cigarette smoke—even though it’s supposed to be a smoke-free hotel.
We reserved two rooms, and both were in terrible shape. One of the rooms had a door that wouldn’t even latch properly, leaving us concerned about safety. The beds had cigarette burns in the bedding, the towels were stained and limited to just two per room, and there were only two pillows provided—hardly enough for even basic comfort. The bathtub was visibly dirty, and the nightstand looked like it had been ripped off the wall and screwed back in without care—it was so crooked nothing would stay on it.
To make matters worse, we heard dogs barking inside the hotel all night long. The parking lot was poorly lit—if lit at all—which only added to the uneasy atmosphere. We were in town for a funeral and just needed a clean, safe place to sleep. Instead, I was embarrassed to think my clothes might smell like that hotel when I showed up to pay my respects.
It was such a dismal experience that, had I been traveling alone, I would have rather slept in my car. Unfortunately, we had too many people with us to make that an option.
I will never stay here again and would not recommend this place to anyone.
