I asked. The change took place just a few months ago in early 2011.
As a follow up, I will add a comment about the property.
The property feels a bit dated, but they seem to be working to make things nicer.
The property includes a Holiday Inn type "fun dome" with a big pool, jacuzzi, basketball court (1/2), and arcade. The fitness room has two good treadmills, an eliptical, two bikes, and two weight machines.
The continental breakfast was ok, with standard hot and cold selections. The attendants were pleasant.
There is a quick stop across the parking lot and a McD's about 1/4 mile away. Other stores and restaurants are located within two miles.

Very nice accommodations. Good fitness room. Convenient to airport, but restaurants are 2-3 miles away. My one-night stay cost $53 plus around $13/night in taxes for a total of $66.
Thanks BetterBidding.com!
Expected the Clarion Hotel Lexington-North because it matched the former Holiday Inn for amenities:

Trip adviser recent reviews looked good, so I booked a two-night stay at $54 plus around $10/night in taxes for a total of $128 (two nights).
