We spent two nights at the hotel and enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and comfortable. The front desk staff and housekeeping personnel were very friendly. The breakfast was very good and the service was fine. The hotel is conveniently located to the airport and downtown points of interest. We would definitely return if we’re ever back in the Louisville area.
