Top Shively Hotel Reviews

Omni Louisville Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was not good. The food was cold when it arrived at the table."

The Brown Hotel

8/10 Good

"Absolutely gorgeous place to stay within walking distance to anything and everything you would want to do. Fantastic food at the cafe. We will absolutley want to stay again! I really enjoyed the stay, but communication about charges to the room were non-existent. They do put an extra charge for the room for incidentals, which isn't much - but if you aren't expecting it then it can be surprising. Somehow they managed to be without keys, so when we were checking in so was everyone else in the hotel. There was a wedding this weekend too so we didnt get to spend much time using the amenities. The sign on the desk said the kitchen is open with a limited menu until midnight however when we asked if we could order they said they were closed for the night at 11, which is understandable - but a little confusing as well. Nothing detrimental at all - just minor miscommunications."

Cottonwood Airport & Expo Hotel Louisville

10/10 Excellent

"We had a very good experience the staff was really nice and went over and beyond to help and took the time to talk to you not just check you it they really made you feel welcomed . The room was clean and fresh smelling and comfortable the breakfast was good wasn’t a fan of the eggs but everything else was very nice. We will be coming back in the future. Thank you for everything"
