This hotel was very frustrating to work with. First, I called to book a room and the staff member who answered the phone said "we don't do that. Go to Expedia" and ended the call. I booked a room for my mom through Expedia, and when she got there they wouldn't let her stay because she didn't have her ID on her but had all of the confirmation information for the hotel room. When I tried to get my money back from them, they of course sent me to Expedia who spent days trying to get ahold of someone from management. Once Expedia finally did get in contact with them and explained the situation, the member of management refused to refund my money. Before I knew about this, I had tried to walk in with my mom the next day to book another night, and they rudely refused saying they don't take walk-ins. I have no idea what the front desk staff actually do there because every request I had was met with them rudely telling me they don't do that.

Hello, Jade,I'm sorry to hear of your frustrations. It is true that guests must present a picture ID to check in. In Kentucky, state law requires adults to have a picture ID on them. However, the other concerns you raised do not reflect our policies at all. Our manager has not been contacted regarding a refund. We would love to know the days/times these incidents occurred with front desk contact, as we have audio and video of all front desk activity. We would be able then to pinpoint if one of our staff members actually behaved in this manner.

We traveled through many cities, many hotels and our best experience was at the Hotel Louisville. From the time we walked in and met Will working at the desk. We were a bit early for check in so we sat in the beautiful front salon while we waited. Our room was clean, beds were comfortable, showered was great with toiletries supplied. First appearance was a little shady, but this was an amazing place. They are very caring of people from all walks of life. I never felt unsafe. There was a live blues band playing on the Friday evening which was great. Then to our surprise we heard there was county music and line dancing in another hall on the other end of the hotel. We went, it was so much fun. Amazing country dancing. Highly recommend this place... Who need perfection, well if you do, the staff were amazing. Thanks again to Will.

Do not get a room at this property. Our room we were given stunk, the bedding was filthy, floor looked like it had not been vacuumed. The “security” guy was running people off from in front of the property. I did not feel safe staying there or comfortable staying there with my family.

Hopefully this will help someone. Definitely on the wrong side of town. Mixed the homeless shelter with hotel and should not be. Felt extremely uncomfortable and scared to leave my room alone. I'm prediabetic and the so called breakfast was only sweets, store bought donuts and bagels with jelly. The coffee had only one kind, no decaf and only sugar, no substitute, and creamer in 2 unmarked bowls using the same spoon. I will definitely NEVER be back.

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We are investigating your report and following up with our staff. The continental breakfast always has hard boiled eggs along with the bagels, pastries, etc. And we always have decaf coffee with a full array of condiments. I apologize that it was not stocked properly at the time of your visit. Hotel Louisville does not provide any emergency shelter at this location. The shelter is several blocks away. We do, however, rent rooms for graduates of our many programs who are working jobs and saving money to get their own apartments. We also host a program for veterans sponsored by the Veterans Administration. We recognize that we are in an urban setting and that can be disarming to those not used to these types of areas. Therefore, we always have security 24/7 both inside the hotel and on the parking lot to help our guests feel safe. We strive to provide a good, clean hotel room at a reasonable cost.

This is our first trip to Kentucky and we were very excited about the hotel. Overall, it had good reviews. However as soon as we pulled up, you could instantly see that the entire perimeter of the hotel, as well as outside of the front doors and the parking lot Was completely taken over by a homeless camp. There were tents and sleeping bags and people not wearing clothing and doing drugs. We pulled into the parking lot and after scanning the entryway, quickly decided that we did not feel safe enough to stay here, let alone take our two very young children and stay the night. I sat on hold for 30 minutes with Customer service because the hotel said that we would have to go about canceling our reservation through Expedia. I never had anyone answer the phone and it was getting dark and we had a group of people that had come and we’re just sitting in front of our vehicle watching us. We left and found another hotel in a safer area

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. I'm sorry you did not feel safe here. I wish you had come inside. While we are in an urban neighborhood, please note that the homeless camp you saw was not inside our parking lot, but rather is on the rear of the property. We are working with Louisville Metro police to enforce our city ordinance which forbids street camping. However, we do provide security guards 24/7 at the Hotel both inside and in the parking lot in an effort to help our guests feel safe. We strive to provide a good, clean hotel room at a reasonable cost. We will share your concerns with our security staff to re-enforce their need to keep our property clear.

IT IS A HOMELESS SHELTER!! I found out from the locals that this place is a homeless shelter. It was dirty, the light fixture didnt work, the bathroom fan grinds, cigarette burns on the counter, MOUSE POOP IN THE ROOM, dirty hair dryer and electrical sockets, almost no electrical outlet space for me to charge my phone (had to unplug a lamp), toilet leaking, room smelled weird. Now, every single one of the staff members was great. They were sweet and kind and helpful beyond measure. BUT WHEN I BOOKED ON EXPEDIA THE LISTING SAID THREE STAR HOTEL. Not a HOMELESS SHELTER!! Sketchy people hanging aroynd the parking lot all the time, too. I want my noney back, a full refund!!!

It is obvious that the hotel in its prime was spectacular. The property is in need of a major upgrade. For the money and what we needed, it was fine. The neighborhood around the hotel has seen better days but that is up to the City of Louisville to change that. I would rate it safe but pay attention.
