Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham Louisville East
Conveniently located property. Room was clean and spacious but starting to show its age a bit. Carpet needs to be replaced and one of the closet doors was broken. Bed was comfortable.

Omni Louisville Hotel
Everything was perfect. The ONLY one downside was that I asked for a late check out and on the website it was posted one amount, but the attendant told me something different. It still worked out, BUT THE HOTEL WAS AMAZING. Definitely will return
