Top Aurora Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Murray by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I live in Mayfield and we lost power for almost 2 days due to a bad storm. The hotel was amazing to us. We had a clean and comfortable room and the employees were so kind! I thought we were going to have to stay a second night but when our electricity came back on, they allowed us to cancel for the second night with no charge and allowed us to check out late. We greatly appreciate everything they did for us!"

Kenlake State Resort Park

10/10 Excellent

"The KY State Resort Parks ROCK! Kenlake Lodge is well maintained, and the rooms spacious and clean. The staff are super friendly and personable. We ate dinner at the restaurant and the view of the lake is beautiful. The food is quality at super reasonable prices! The booze may not be top shelf but you aren’t paying top shelf! The pool is very nice, large, and clean. KY State Resort Park have a certain charm of simpler times. Not just the furniture, but the quality and hospitality…And, the prices! The park grounds are well-maintained. Disclaimer - I am NOT a state employee! I just appreciate a basic good time on a low budget while not sacrificing space, hospitality, or cleanliness."

Motel 6 Grand Rivers, KY

8/10 Good

"Better pillows would be helpful. We went to buy different pillows after first night. The ones provided were flat as a pancakes and about as wide. Otherwise stay was good. Staff was very friendly, room was clean, and we were asked to rate pool but there is no pool. But we would not have used it anyway. Overall would stay again, but will bring our own pillows."

Hampton Inn & Suites Murray

10/10 Excellent

"After a long day of traveling, we arrived to check in. Ray was not only there with a smiling face, he was overly accommodating and helped us reconnect our TV that wasn't working. Super friendly, helpful and genuinely interested in making sure we had a great stay every day at Hampton. A truly outstanding employee."
