A very nice welcome center to introduce you to Kentucky If…read moreyou're traveling north on Interstate 65 from Tennessee into Kentucky, this is one of the first places you'll encounter after crossing the state line. It is an easy right-hand exit with a straightforward entrance and plenty of parking for both cars and large trucks. It is a good first stop to stretch your legs, take a break from driving, and pick up information about the Bluegrass State before continuing your journey. One of the first things you'll notice after parking is the large horse statue outside the building to the right. It's a fitting welcome to Kentucky since it is well known for its horse farms and racing heritage. Also, marketing-wise, it makes for a great photo opportunity before heading inside. Inside the main building, it is spacious, bright, and very well maintained. It is a large open lobby with a round information desk in the center of the room. There were brochures of lots of the attractions arrayed on the round desk and derby pictures and other sights on the outside of the informational desk. The restrooms are conveniently located on either side of the main lobby, making them easy to find even if you're in a hurry. Everything was clean, both inside and outside. The parking areas were free of litter. Overall, I would certainly recommend stopping here if you're entering Kentucky on I-65. It is a pleasant, convenient, and well-maintained place to begin your travels through the Commonwealth. Enjoy!

If you haven't tried their Garlic Pickles, do yourself a favor and grab a bag on your way to the cashier! They're my current favorite roadtrip snack.

It's got northbound and southbound access, which is convenient if you're not sure which way you'll be traveling. We were heading South on our way to Nashville. The grounds are clean and well-maintained. Inside is spacious with benches to rest on each corners. Maps and brochures are available and well stocked. Separately from the restrooms are vending machines and outdoor picnic tables. Pets welcome. On I-65 Mile Marker 60 watch out for a time change because you have just entered the Central Time Zone (not Twilight Zone). They have some nice rest stops on I-65 in Kentucky.

I don't think I could leave a bad review when they all try so hard to make sure your stay is great. It seems genuine too. Also it's so gorgeous everywhere you turn.

I unfortunately forgot a few things. Thank you, it's a lovely place to stay. Matthew with the concierge is phenomenal, we loved his recommendations. He provided us with a list of Broadway which was so helpful. I am pretty exhausted of being on my phone and using the list was convenient. Brian at the bar is really fun to talk to and very experienced. Excited to get 1 drink tonight.. Afterall I am an Utah native. "E" at the front desk was awesome as well. He helped me manage a few things that spontaneously came up and he handled them all with grace. He also gave me a recommendation to get some artwork done. Everything did work out with that too and it couldn't have been more perfect! Thank you for listening closely and taking care of all the fine details. You're such an asset to the Conrad.
