    Trash was like this for a few days
    HsiaoCheng W.

    I usually hate Tru hotels. But we had a cat and this place seemed to have the best rates. Staybridge charged $50 per night up to $150 max, Embassy Suites was $75 for first 4 nights and this place was $50 for first 4 nights. The app is kind of confusing because it says there's a $50 non refundable deposit and then it says there's also a pet fee on a separate line item below that. But they confirmed it's just $50 total for 1-4 nights and $75 for longer. $15 per night is reserved for incidentals but refundable. The room was actually clean. And you can choose your room in advance on the app because there aren't particular rooms reserved for pets only like some hotels. One towel had some hair on it but it didn't phase us as I know how that can happen. It was a washed towel. Breakfast had pancakes, bacon and cheese omelets in addition to oatmeal, yogurt, cereal, bagels, muffins etc. next day they had sausage and scrambled eggs in lieu of the omelettes and bacon. Gold members get popcorn as the welcome snack. Strong WiFi. Water bottle refill fountain downstairs. Along with a microwave and paper plates. Housekeeping you have to request. I saw them mopping the floor of a room as we passed by so I think they must actually be using the pet fee to do a better job cleaning. Outside I did notice they never emptied the trash by the elevator for several days and it was overflowing. Late checkout for higher tier HH members is 1 pm rather than 12 noon. We extended our reservation by a day and I asked them if I could also get late checkout for the new departure date as well and they said yes. But they forgot to add it to my reservation I guess because we got a call at 12:30 pm telling us checkout was at noon. I actually had confirmed it again the day before we were leaving that we had late checkout so I don't know how it fell through the crack. They were a bit stand offish at first saying I didn't make the request, but ultimately capitulated and gave it to me. We started packing our bags regardless so we could exit asap. What I thought was the best part is that they called back 5 min later and acknowledged the request had been made and they saw the notation and comp'd me $10 for the inconvenience. That was nice of them because I was fuming. Kudos. 3 EV charging stations. The same person owns the Fairfield across the street so you can use their facilities as well we were told by the front desk. Gas at the Fivestar across the street is good price for the area. Usually matches the Kroger price down the street.

    Very nice hotel. Clean and new.

    Very reasonable pricing for a one night stay. We were promptly greeted by a very friendly and cordial gentleman. He gave us all the current details. King size beds. Nice sized rooms. Modern touches everywhere. I am not used to all of the hard surfaces but that is just me and something I have to get used to. The chair in the room was wild. I highly recommend you consider Tru Bowling Green if you are in the area.

    This is such a fun place to stay! The lobby had foos ball, games, food, a pleasant staff, quiet semi i closed seating if you need to work, eating area, egg swings, conversation seating. There was a nice pool and workout area. The rooms were super clean and the beds very comfortable!

    If I could give 0 stars I would. The front desk clerk was the absolute rudest and most unprofessional customer service/hospitality provider I have ever had to deal with. When we arrived he wasn't at the desk, and we waited for almost 10 minutes before he came back. When I was finally able to check in I was confused because I booked on hotels.com and already paid for the room through that app, but at this hotel I have to also have a temporary charge for the room cost (hopefully we'll see once I check out if I get double charged). I've never had this issue, I always book my hotels through hotels.com and prepay. The most I ever have to have held on a credit card is a temporary deposit for incidentals. So naturally I was confused and tried to explain to the clerk that I had already paid. He interrupted me several times when I was trying to explain what my issue was to basically correct me and tell me I was wrong. He was very rude and condescending, being very loud, and wouldn't let me finish a sentence. When I called him out on interrupting me, saying he could at least let me finish a sentence, he threatened to not rent me the room. He was speaking so loudly that the lady behind me was commenting and trying to also interject about what he was saying. I was so upset and appalled by the insanely rude way I was being treated that I didn't think to catch the clerks name. He was an old man with a grey beard, glasses, and claiming he was blind. Hilton should be ashamed of him. After getting to my room, and pulling the blankets back to settle in I found so many hairs. Hairs of different colors, types, and lengths. It was like the bed sheets hadn't been changed in who knows how long, only made after each guest. There were also stains on the masters cover and sheets, and makeup stains on the pillow cases. There was also a bandaid of some kind on the floor. I packed and went to check out and inform the clerk of the room condition, because at this point that was the last straw and I wasn't staying there anymore, but he was again no where to be found. After waiting too long I left and called Hilton. I've always had wonderful experiences with Hilton but this hotel was very, very disappointing.

    This is my second stay at a Tru. I'm giving it a 4, because the hotel was clean, and everything was bright and fresh, and staff was friendly - but it's just not my style. I presume it's targeting the young traveler, because the lobby is spacious, colorful, a variety of sitting areas and USB access everywhere. This hotel lobby included two very nice foosball tables. The prior location I visited offered a pool table in the lobby. There is a standard hotel fitness center and pool, but the room is akin to a college dorm room. A fresh, new college dorm room - but a dorm room. A tiny desk on wheels, no closet - just a rod above a mini fridge - no dresser, and a large, flat screen TV. Soaps, shampoo and conditioner are in plastic dispensers. Nothing wrong, just not somewhere I'd be comfortable spending multiple days, so not a place I'd recommend if you like hanging out in your room.

    Pros: Meh. Cons: Poop stain in the toilet, piss on the floor in front of the toilet. Toilet rocked when you sat down. Room unswept. Pillows smelled like feet. Receipt says I was charged $100 for the night. Credit card shows $115.

    Love the digital key. Great app integration. Hotel was very clean, stylishly appointed, and comfortable. If the shower had EVER been used before, I couldn't tell. Staff was exceptionally friendly from housekeeping to front desk. Allowed for a late checkout without issue. Fantastic experience all around. LOVE this property. Would definitely stay again.

    See all

    Our favorite place to stay when we're traveling north to Ohio. We've gotten to know quite a few…read morepeople, regulars and employees, during our visit. Very new and modern! If I were going to give a down check, it would be the very pricey restaurant that is on the property. Very good, but very pricey. We usually opt to get a delivered pizza! Mary, the bartender for the managers reception and Damian, treat us very personably almost like family. We don't mind spending a couple extra dollars there due to that. And another thing, they have an automatic toaster at the breakfast area that toasts perfectly the first time and every time! I wish all the Embassy Suites would buy that particular electronic toaster! Keep up the great work!

    Pleasantly surprised with our stay at the Embassy Suites in Bowling Green! Upon entering the lobby,…read morewe were impressed with the welcoming staff, cleanliness, and the fun decor features (green wall behind the front desk, water feature, fire place by sitting lounge & outdoor fountain/ fire pit). Throughout the hotel hallways, you'll find many artfully designed pictures of different corvettes, as this location isn't far from the Corvette Museum. Our room was spacious and clean with a view of the outdoor fountain. The room was insulated well enough to not hear our neighbors or people walking down the hall. Happy hour included a choice of beverage as well as different snacks - and if you have a non alcoholic preference (i.e. for kids) during happy hour, there is no charge for those. The pool was a welcome treat after a long, hot Kentucky day, clean and perfect for the entire family, with an outdoor seating area as well. The gym had various machines but we didn't get a chance to use them during our stay. Breakfast is better than your average continental breakfast, with omelets, eggs, pancakes and waffles made to order. Buffet options also available and coffee made with a push of a button. Overall, the experience here was great and I'd happily return here next time I'm in the area.

    I stayed at this hotel for my mom's wedding, and it was honestly one of the worst experiences I've…read moreever had. We drove 8 hours to get there, only to walk into a room in terrible condition. There were ants everywhere, including on the bed, which is completely unacceptable. The door had holes in it and didn't seal properly, so there was constant air coming through, making it nearly impossible to keep the room cool. The fridge didn't work at all, which was a serious issue because I had insulin that needed to stay cold. That alone could have created a dangerous situation. On top of that, the beds were extremely uncomfortable--you could feel the springs through the mattress. To make matters worse, I was charged $170 for one night, even though my room was reserved for two nights, so I assumed that was the total. The next morning, I was called and asked if I was checking out, then told I needed to come pay again. When I went to the front desk and explained not only the confusion with the charges but also how unacceptable the room conditions were, the best they offered was charging me $140 more and claiming they "took off" $65. I ended up almost being late to my own mother's wedding trying to sort this out. I even explained that I would not be staying the second night due to the conditions, but needed the room temporarily for my service dog and cat during the wedding. Despite not staying, they still charged me another $140. We ended up leaving the wedding early and driving the 8 hours back home that night rather than stay in that room again. Between the unsafe room conditions, lack of basic cleanliness, broken amenities, and poor customer service, this experience was beyond frustrating. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

    We thought the price was okay for the stay. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The staff…read morewas welcoming. The shower was slow to drain, but had good water pressure. There was a Reese's cup wrapper near the bed on the floor. We hadn't eaten any Reese's. The breakfast buffet was good for a free breakfast. It was hot and the counters were clean.

They also only have a restaurant and piano bar on Friday and Saturday despite what the website says. They have a non refundable policy which is very frustrating because it feels like they dropped their end of the deal. Now- why the four stars? The room was lovely! And huge, and super clean! So technically when booking a hotel that's what you need. But it was in no way the experience I was excited about for my trip. We checked out a day earlier. Oh yea and they only had two guys from the "kitchen" working there and they could have absolutely cared less about us being there. No eye contact, no help, no recommendations, not even a hello.

Beautiful building, we wanted to to stay here but the place was fully booked.(next visit this place is where I want to stay) We had a lovely waitress that was just new but very experienced and had a great personality! We both ordered a steak and I exchanged the mashed potatoes for asparagus but received both. Can't get away from carbs in my life! The steak was amazing and melted in my mouth the potatoes were hard to stop eating because they were perfect. Had a salad and tried 2 dressing and the blue cheese had excellent taste. Had a blue Long Island which was on the drink menu as a KY drink. Drink was very good. We were in luck and shortly after we set down the pianist started playing. We talked to one of the owners on the way out and he thanked us for coming! What a great night and lovely experience we had at this establishment! Thanks Kentucky Grand!!
