I really pay attention to reviews when my husband and I are traveling. All the reviews for this hotel were excellent so I trusted the system. This was one of the most enjoyable and beautiful hotels that my husband have stayed in for a long period of time. The rooms are large and spacious along with the hallways even being fuller and more open. The casino gaming area was so fun and there is no smoking allowed which changes the game for us. We loved it. It's also very close in proximity to the Louisville Convention Center State Fair and the Louisville zoo. The people who were at the front desk were so polite and willing to help us understand anything we needed to know. I loved the decor in the rooms and the elegant feel that gives you. It was reasonably priced. The restaurant staff and good were also great. You had several to choose from. This will be a definite for us when traveling to Louisville from now on!

Great stay!
Hotel was great but the rate the hotel put on my receipt was $66/night. You charged me $96. Was that your markup?

The property was quiet, beds were comfortable, and the room was very clean…it was so nice to not have that “old, sticky carpet funk feeling” when you walked around in the room. Will book here again!

Very Comfortable. Good Service.
The property is a casino. Smoking and noise is usually a problem around casinos. But that is not the case here. The property is clean and comfortable. However, the food we ordered at Oliver’s was inedible. So, stay at the hotel. Eat elsewhere.
