We had a really nice 2 night stay with friends. The location was a good halfway meeting point for us. The hotel staff were all genuinely courteous and kind. The rooms were clean and ours had very ample space with a king bed, 2 side-by-side sitting chairs with a lamp table in between, dresser, full closet, etc. Super well appointed. The rooms were quiet as was the town in general except for some number of vehicles with clearly modified mufflers - guessing younger guys strutting their stuff. Berea is a a quiet town in general, though in a lovely rural Kentucky area with rolling hills, lightly travelled roads and lots of green. If you have a chance, visit Tater Knob pottery and watch some clay being thrown. Great history and some very nice pottery.
