Overall, the room was nice. The bathroom was very small and hard to maneuver in. It took a while for the shower to get hot. Offers great breakfast. As a Silver member I didn’t receive my 2 drinks or % off meal and it was never offered.

This hotel was everything we needed for our one night in Louisville. The breakfast was fantastic, the rooms were clean, and the space was quiet. We were assigned a room next to the elevator and since I'm a light sleeper, I requested a different room. The clerk moved us a better room on a different floor, far from the elevator. We would stay here again - it was great.
