Nice hotel in downtown

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Brown. Paul was a great asset in the club room! Great breakfast and evening snacks/drinks. We enjoyed the piano bar in the evenings as well.

Stayed in a Luxury Club level King. The room was large and the bed was very comfortable. It was a gorgeous hotel with a lot of history. The staff was so accommodating and made my stay very special.

Excellent Hotel

Pros: Location, staff, the look of the hotel
Cons: Parking was a little confusing. We weren't sure where to park and I couldn't find anything on the website that addressed parking
Location: 4th Street, KFC YUM Center
I can't say enough about this hotel and the staff. The hotel is beautiful. Very elegant and very well maintained. The staff was amazing--cordial, polite, knowledgeable of the area. The hotel is about a 3 block walk to 4th Street (the entertainment district) where there are a lot of different restaurants. We were able to walk to our concert at the KFC YUM Center. It's about a mile walk through a very safe part of the city. We did not eat in any of the hotels restaurants but they were all very busy. The room was beautiful and very clean. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom clean and elegant. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here again on my next visit to Louisville.

Excellent!

The hotel was wonderful--great customer service and a perfect location! My husband thought the room was too warm and had to turn on the AC (in December!!) to get it cool enough for him, but I was fine and was actually too cold when he turned the AC on. No other complaints though--we loved our stay!
