Sir Cassie

The room was decently clean, no major issues It was good, not great Not a whole lot to say about it

The staff was nice enough but nothing special Nothing to write home about,but no major complaints I will say, the breakfast served at the hotel was greatly lacking, and was little more than a waffle maker Other that the breakfast and a few nitpicky issues, the hotel was nice, I’ve stayed there before and most probably will again

Andrea Currie

Housekeeping available upon request, yeah right Requested day before Asked three times day they were supposed to come

Was assured room would be cleaned, they never did show up The next day asked again was told they would come All they did was drop towels Digital Key never worked Breakfast staff did not keep things full an hour before it ended everything was empty Updated rooms, quiet, nice outdoor pool, but the lack of service knocked down what should be a five star review

Mike Ryan

The hotel itself was very cleanThe customer service aspect was a joke Our smoke alarm started beeping at 3 am

We called down to the front desk and he comes up to our room and said there’s no 9volt batteries in the hotel He said he can take the batteries out so it stops beeping I tell him I do not feel comfortable sleeping in a hotel room without a working smoke alarm So he takes a battery from another room’s smoke alarm, and puts it in ours While he’s trying to figure out how to get it off the wall, he cursed every other word We also asked for extra pillows and he says he doesn’t know where they are and finds us one pillow How do you not know where extra pillows are in a hotel that you work at??! Absolutely mind boggling This whole experience was terrible And of course the ice machine was broken two of the four days we were there On every floor And for how much we spent for our stay, I would expect the customer service to be more than it was I’ve never in my life been to a hotel and them tell me they don’t know where the extra pillows are AWFUL EXPERIENCE!

Jeremy and Mark are wonderful hosts! Our room (Hearth Room) was fabulous and tastefully decorated! The breakfast prepared by Mark each morning was a plate of perfection Jeremy makes the best cocktails in the afternoon after a great day of bourbon tasting adventures This trip was our second visit staying at the Inn at Woodhaven and the bar has been set extremely high for any future stays at other bed and breakfast locations

Thank you for your hospitality and making us feel like family We look forward to seeing you both soon!

Chelsa Smith

This Inn is beautiful! The pictures are nice, but don’t quite do it justice From the details in the decor, keurig in our room, amazing steam shower, comfortable beds, and lots of room to unpack personal items we were loving every minute of being here The breakfasts were delectable, and I would certainly stay here again

Our hosts Jeremy and Mark were gracious and excellent resources for restaurants and breweries to try The house and rooms were also very clean and always smelled magnificent

Dustin Bowers

Stayed here for a quick overnight with my bride Had an amazing time Owners were super kind and personable, made sure we had everything we needed to enjoy our time

Offered me a to go coffee for an early departure Beds were awesome, comfortable, pillows to accommodate all preferences We had an amazing time If you are contemplating a place to get away, highly recommend the Inn at Woodhaven, you will not be disappointed We wish we had gone sooner!! Thanks for a great time!!

The area looks kinda sketchy so I was always aware of my surrounding The inside of building is quite nice and modern Our room was clean and nice with the exception of it being mucky upon arrival

Everything else was good and had no issues Breakfast included was a plus, and overall it was worth the price and stay Definitely better than I expected

Dana Wheeler

Out of 40 different Wyndham hotels we have stayed in this is the top of the line most beautiful , clean , excellent hotel we have stayed in The people at the front desk was super nice friendly went out of there way to up grade our room us being diamond statues The house keeping lady’s was great super nice and let me in the room while my husband had to go get the keys reset because we got them close to our cell phone and it deactivated them

I recommend this hotel as your next stay in Louisville Ky Full breakfast bar Gym I didn’t have time to try Wish I could rate this higher than a 5 Thank all of you for a great stay This suite had two TVs and a couch that would make to a bed also with tub shower comb

Amy Gonzalez

The hotel itself was nice inside and clean but we woke up ready to continue our trip discovering that our catalytic converter had been cut off and stolen from the bottom of our vehicle The staff gave us a non emergency number to file a report but said it has happened before A clean hotel isn’t worth staying at if you have to worry about your property being stolen

And obviously little is done to prevent this from occurring for their guests Very disappointed in our experience here

Madison Wozniak

Close to the interstate but not close enough to get road noise, rooms are nice and have very high quality beds Staff were extremely polite and were helpful with any issue we had (Primarily an extremely minor issue with the business center) It’s beside a really nice shopping center so if you want something to do after you check in if you get there early, you can easily walk to the shops and enjoy

Breakfast & Dinner were fantastic, my only nitpick was the biscuits burnt a bit on the bottom but that’s not their fault at all, the warmer did that and there’s no way to prevent it while still keeping them warm

Scott

The staff here is exceptional! Everyone is friendly and helpful The building is modern and well laid out The room was clean and spacious

The breakfast was great with plenty of variety There are several restaurants within walking distance and lots of shopping The security detail for the shops was out all night and kept the parking lot secure

Katharine Nowlin

The staff is FANTASTIC, with exception of the super tall male manager who is an absolute jerk—we overheard him on the phone with someone providing ‘customer service’ and he told them to go book somewhere else if they didn’t like his rates…and the experience we had directly with him, he was very hands off ‘not my problem’ when we simply were inquiring about the difference in the rates quoted online vs when we checked in-it’s wasn’t a big deal we were simply just asking BUT outside of that jerk, the staff was amazing, especially the dining staff and the housekeeping staff…everyone is refreshingly friendly and seem to find joy in their jobs

The hotel was exactly like it is pictured The pool area is clean but heavily chlorinated (messes with your smell after spending much time in there) The rooms are very clean, and well stocked The breakfast was really good, typically we would eat out for all meals but this breakfast had a good selection and the quality was above standards so there was no need to search for edible food elsewhere The nightly dinner was pretty good…with as many young children staying at this hotel I had expected to see a few more options for kids other than a hot dog, but what they did have was good I would have rated the hotel a five, but that main male manager is the only reason I had to take it down to a four Would recommend staying here

Jordan Yoshimine

Needed a little getaway and have enjoyed staying at Staybridge locations because of the larger suite-like rooms The price was right so I booked for 3 nights I had read some reviews that had me concerned, but had no complaints whatsoever with this hotel

Staff were very friendly–from the front desk staff to the housekeeping staff This looks like it was one of the first Staybridge properties built, but it has aged well and the rooms were clean, comfortable and roomy and seems updated This location is very centrally located and there are numerous restaurants within a 5-10 minute drive The outdoor pool was not yet open I would imagine it would be open for the summer months I had their breakfast which was pretty good Eggs, bacon, wafflesand the other normal hotel breakfast type items I would highly recommend this hotel

Aleena Dicken

This was an experience and just wait until you unfortunately meet the front desk lady that is supposed to be the GM She was very rude to me when I called to ask her questions on why she charged my friend a pet fee when he didn’t even have a pet, I did and I visited with my service dog that lives in Louisville On top of that she continued to lie to me over the phone and said she expressed to my friend that he was going to be charged extra which she didn’t

The only thing that was expressed to me was have him on a leash I would of just taken my dog home if I would have known my friend was going to be charged She also expressed there is signs all over the hotel saying you will be charged but again communication in this business is key and when I initially brought my dog in the first time and they said he just needs a lash that would have been a good time to tell us we were going to be charged The hotel was not very clean, bugs all over the place His refrigerator broke on him Also the A/C was not cold or didn’t work because it felt like a Sauna when you walked in I personally would not have anything negative to say but when I called to take to the GM she was very unhelpful and rude She clearly has no customer service Good luck if you plan on staying at this hotel

Summer Jeanine

Not Staybridge quality Only plus it was clean and bed was comfortable We are Diamond Spire Elites

They upgraded me day of to a King Suite Girl on phone was an absolute sweetheart Woman at desk this morning not so much None of rooms have 2 queen beds I was told which was fine for just myself and my little girl But bigger families may struggle with one bed Only Kings and pullout couch Only stayed one night Bathroom very run down Bottom of shower peeling so badly that sharp edges sticking up No hot water in sink Luke warm Toilet seat looks melted Horrible quality lighting in mirror area Air conditioning system is in closet in bedroom and very loud to point I had to wear my noise canceling earbuds Everytime it kicked on it woke us up I told frontdesk lady in morning and she was very ksera and said “Oh yes it is loud” Also didn’t apologize for shaddy bathroom or non Staybridge quality breakfast It is equal to an express breakfast Not Staybridge quality Honestly would have rather express because at least I would’ve gotten cinnabon rolls Not even cheese for powder eggs was available Waffle maker didn’t even have spray Note up they spray each morning Well her waffle was dry and stuck So maybe spray it more than once a morning Overall polite staff except older woman on checkout day She made my concerns feel invalidated Management is clearly skimping on quality for food and room maintenance Could be a decent property

They lady who welcomed us was so kind The hotel is VERY clean which you don’t see now a days We had the two room suite and it was so clean! It was quiet too! Lots of space for a family, can sleep up to 8 and has a kitchen

We had some minor issues with the ac but they fixed it Karen checked us out and her smile and kindness was just what we needed to make our trip home I will definitely be coming back Also lots of food choices in the area ! Also has an outdoor pool which was clean!

Uncle Mikey

The location of this property is excellent whereas you have major routes to take you in any direction There are several restaurant locations nearby along with other shopping The staff was extremely helpful and attentive

The breakfast and “happy hour’ selections were wonderful The room was comfortable other than the baby toilet and shower doors that don’t close and stay closed properly which i am finding to be the hallmark of the Hilton chain

Gina James

This is a very nice hotel for extended stays Very well kept secret, indeed It’s close to many eateries and major highways

Any store you need is less than 5 miles away Right off of Shelbyville Road though away from the heavy traffic near the mall area Rooms look to be newly remodeled with just the right vibe and trend Very easy to feel comfy and convenient Very clean and quiet space You will fall in love with the staff who care very much about your stay and comfort- it was surprising There was a small issue after check-in and they fixed it effortlessly right away I stay with the Hilton brand quite often as I travel for work This is by far the best Homewood Suites that I have visited I frequent the area several times a year, but will often book with the Residence Inn up the street I will start to consider this hotel instead Thanks for all you do

Stayed for a single night passing through town The front desk staff was very friendly and got me checked in fast Hotel was very dated and the air conditioner didn’t seem to follow the thermostat

Beds were comfortable Everything seemed cleaned but dirty at the same time I think that’s just because of the carpet, layout, and age of the furnishings Oh and lots of empty beverage cans when we rolled in that were still there when we left I expect more from the rate I paid, but it wasn’t awful

Tonya Fisher

Nice place to stay Quiet area, easy to get to other parts of Louisville quickly Breakfast was simple yet had hot options

Would have liked more fruit choicesA little short staffed at the time we went which made service a little slower at times otherwise it works have been 5 stars

We spent 8 nights at the Aloft Louisville East this past week The room and building were very clean and well appointed We got a great price compared to other hotels in the area, and the hotel is very well located near a lot of shopping and expressways

I only had a few minor issues, but they were small enough to not detract from my giving them 5 stars The minor issues I had were first that the water pressure in the shower is basically non existent It felt like someone was holding a plastic bag with a few holes in it over your head At first I thought this might just be an issue with my room, but we had family staying in another room and their shower’s pressure was the same The second (again very minor) issue was that you have to go to the lobby to find a garbage can So if you have pizza boxes, etc that you don’t want in your room, you have to go to the lobby to dispose of them There are no garbage cans on the room floors Neither of these things were deal breakers for us, and we enjoyed our stay If we had the need, we would stay here again if the price continues to be reasonable

Paul Jeffers

My daughter and I stayed 2 nights at Aloft Louisville East The location is perfect Right off the bypass and Westport Rd

You have everything you need close by Plus, easy to get into the city too Service was great, but we don’t need much Their snacks in the lobby are overpriced, but it’s a hotel My only gripethe pocket door that separates the toilet and shower from the vanity was hard to pull close It was binding Room number 435 Also, the comforters are light I just prefer a heavier comforter Beds are very comfortable I love the decor It’s fun and different

Matthew Glover

Great hotel, super clean, friendly staff, accommodatingNeeds:Basic microwave in all roomsIce machine on main floorBad:If you are work nights or get in late, the North West rooms stay away from, it’s close to the freeway on ramp and you can practically hear every vehicle as it climaxes it’s motor and grabs another gear to get onto the freeway Sounds like window is open It’s loud

Highly recommend the opposite side of the building

What a great experience! The staff were great! All the staff that we encountered were the same, cheerful and helpful We travel a lot for my kids sports and recently hospitality has been terrible most places we go! It was so refreshing to be treated like a paying customerThe rooms were spacious with a small kitchen area with sink, small fridge, microwave and some of the basics provided!We would definitely stay here again!

Chantal Hite

The rooms were spacious, the beds were comfortable and it was clean The shower head was pretty low and we are all under 6ft and there wasn’t much water pressureAs far as breakfast goes it wasn’t the best breakfast choices

The typical french toast sticks, hash browns, very thin bacon, toast A little bit of sugary oatmeal packages, but not any particularly healthy options, which are my go to breakfast choices that a lot of other hotels haveStaff wasn’t particularly friendly or unfriendly while checking in or out They just got their job doneAll that being said it was better than average, but I’ve definitely stayed at better places and worse places which is why it gets 4 stars

Amy Coats

Nice motel, my air conditioner was squeaking non stop so they moved me to another room and air kind of noisy in there but not as bad Whole group of people took over pool and patio area with there barbecue, couldn’t use that Walls are pretty thin, could hear the next room blaring their radio at 6:30 in the morning

But overall I like this motel, enjoyed their hot breakfast bar Friendly front desk staff

Great value Good staff We were greeted by a very friendly women when we arrived late yesterday evening

We had a minor issue with our room which we didn’t mention until the next morning since it was so late The gentlemen at the front desk this morning went above and beyond to make it right and even discounted our room without us asking The eggs at breakfast weren’t the best, but the rest of the hot breakfast was good I can say I would stay here again

Jeremy Miller

The staff were the best part of this hotel Everyone with whom I interacted was polite and professionalThe rooms were good

It’s as though when the owner of the location had to choose which part of the hotel in which to invest funds, they put it into the room fixtures and furniture, which is good!None of the downsides are major or would deter me on their own, but there are enough of them that they need to be addressedThe trash which had been bagged was just sitting in the hall by the elevator It didn’t smell, but was very off puttingThe doors still had the locks which required the key card to be inserted and removed, and it was spotty at best (I had to use the card and not the app, but that was due to my phone and not the hotel’s fault)The shower did not have any slip resistant surface and I had some minor slipping, but no injuryThe last negative is not the hotel’s fault, and that is the traffic patterns of the location It is challenging to get in and out of the areaAgain – good people and there are worse places to stay, but there are multiple other Hilton brand locations within 5 miles which are all-around better

Mary-Dawn Cross

After a HORRIBLE experience at Quality Inn & Suites, the staff and everything about Hampton Inn was absolutely amazing! The property was very clean, noise was very minimal and everything was newly remodeled Our room had a large TV that swiveled for you to watch from either the couch or the bed, the shower was a beautiful walk-in, the mirror had a touch power button for LED lighting

we honestly had ZERO complaints from our 2 night stay, except that they didn’t have gravy on the breakfast bar the second morning 😂 10/10 would recommend and 10/10 will stay again!

Laura Reynolds

I’ve stayed here several times over the last few months and have noticed a few more little things each time My rooms have always been clean, which is a big plus However, on my last visit, the door to my room didn’t latch securely without being slammed very hard, and even then it didn’t work very well

The doors in every room I’ve had are always hard to open I tried using the digital key, but on my last stay it only worked intermittently, and the stay before that it didn’t work at all In one room there was a malfunctioning thermostat, so it was very hot, and in another room there was no hair dryer, which I didn’t realize until I was getting ready for a day of meetings with clients The water pressure in the showers in every room I’ve stayed in has not been great, and the shower heads that are supposed to let you change it are difficult to adjust It’s frustrating to have to request housekeeping I understand that those services had to be curtailed during the pandemic but now that travel has returned to pre-pandemic levels, it seems like making people request housekeeping is more about cutting costs and increasing profits than it is about COVID mitigation measures Everyone at the hotel is always very nice and helpful

I was in Louisville for a week for doing speech stuff and we chose this hotel The rooms we nice and clean and no loud noises This was around a bunch of restaurants, so it was hard to choose which one to go too, lol

The service was good, but if you are at a hotel more than a week, they don’t clean your room, unless you ask for it I would want to come to this hotel again, but try to ask for room service for often Totally would recommend staying here and thank you for a warm breakfast

Taylor B

We booked Hyatt Lousiville-East for the Bluegrass Pug Festival! The rooms and overall decor was very glamorous and impressive They managed to keep everything super clean even though there were lots of other doggies staying as well I was worried that we would be able to hear all the other dogs but the walls were surprisingly sound resistant and the blinds made it feel like midnight even in the middle of the day

The bed was honestly the most comfortable hotel bed I’ve ever slept in The channel selection was kind of lame Of course I’m saying that compared to the streaming services I have access to at home Didn’t get to take advantage of the free breakfast so can’t comment on that I can say that guest services were really frustrating and confusing Ultimately we were able to resolve issues but in the future I will be calling on the phone to confirm and pay

To start, We had made two separate reservations as we decided to stay and extra night before we even arrived First problem was they couldn’t find the second reservation so a third had to be made They give an option for early check in but once you arrive and try to check in early they tell you sorry it can’t be guaranteed

No manager on site the entire weekend and couldn’t even tell us when one would actually be there The pool was out of service and we weren’t informed until we got there The breakfast was awful Stale food and expired fruit When informed of the problem they just left it there instead of tossing it Plates and silverware were dirty The rooms were fine except for you had to lift the toilet seat in order to even open the bathroom door I would never recommend family or friends to stay here and I certainly will never stay here again which is unfortunate because it is so close to family Called corporate and they never got back to us Horrible experience

The manager went above and beyond to make sure we got the rooms we preferred My brother and I live 3 states apart and we were meeting here so it was nice to be able to visit easilyEveryone else was also very nice

The room was comfortable and everything was cleanI would highly recommend this hotel to stay in

The staff was friendly and helpful My kids loved the pool The rooms were clean, AC was quiet and controlled by a wall thermostat

We have mixed reviews on the beds The kids liked the squishy pillow top mattress, but it was so uncomfortable trying to sit up to watch TV My husband and I were very surprised that our backs weren’t tweaked from the absence of firmness I was disappointed that the only hot item was some paper thin bacon

This was an awesome hotel Would have given 5 stars We had 2 rooms

The water pressure in our shower was horrible but the water pressure in our other room was fine Alsoat 8:30am we were sleeping and were woke up by knocking on the doorof course we did not answer right away so they just came right in! Like what?!?!? Assuming it was housekeeping! Then as we are getting ready to leaveat 11:40 another knock at the doorit was housekeeping asking if we were checking out! Where I come fromif check out time is 12 noonCHECK OUT TIME IS 12 NOON We should not be bothered before then Otherwise, great hotel!

Another great Hilton propertyInterior is very well dressed and comfortableSmall rec area for the kids

Sleep was good and rooms updatedStaff was very courteous and friendlyBreakfast was good, however i wish there was dark roast coffee as well The light roast was like 1 bean coffeeOnly cons are that house service forgot to take out tbt garbage under the sink from their cleanup and all of the dishes were still in the dishwasher but we’re clean We had to spend some time unpacking the dishwasher to use spoons and forks for our dinnerI’d definitely stay here again though

Parking if a big group could pose an issue but plenty of outdoor and indoor seating for groups to hang out All the amenities (pool, fitness, vending/sale shop, outdoor firepit) and board games available was a nice touch too After 10pm quiet is very nice and followed

Don’t mind the messy room I forgot to take photos on our first day Daughter liked the curtain to seperate room for privacy Pullout couch not that comfortable and had a cleanly issue with matress cover needing replaced Big enough for 2 kids or an adult Nice touch in shower with available shower gel and shampoo There were a few leftover hairs from previous stay on wall but that’s an easy fix with housekeeping Rooms were spacious and breakfast had something for everyone Staff were friendly and accommodating I would stay again with no hesitation Nice job!

This has been the worst Hilton experience EVER The entire front desk staff that we encountered were rude except for ONE older African American male that was working on Saturday afternoon 5/28/22 On check-in, the lady was in such a hurry she failed to provide any information regarding Wi-Fi, breakfast, gym, etc

Instead she yells out the Wi-Fi instructions and stated, “Everything is in the room” as she walked away Once we entered, there wasn’t ANY information regarding the services offered The shower was dirty, and the dishwasher was full of dirty dishes The mattress was so hard I would have been better off sleeping in the parking lot I would NOT recommend this location to anyone As a Diamond member, it’s clear this location failed to maintain the standards that I was guaranteed

I stayed there during the Christmas week The location was great because there’s plenty of stores and restaurants in the area I had a studio which had a full bathroom(tub) and kitchen (oven)

There were 2 closets which allowed me to store my cooler, 2 cases or water, and other novelties separate from clothes and shoes The extra closet allowed the room to maintain open space I didn’t go to breakfast, but granola bars, fruit, and muffins were out whenever I had to go to the front desk The fire alarm system need some attention, but notice was given a day prior The men were friendly, in/out I was comfortable there I requested housekeeping NYE, sheet change and vacuum When I returned, Deb/Diane, I apologize not really sure, gave a thorough cleaning which was recognized when I opened to door I appreciated it so much I was on the first floor so I pretty much kept my curtains closed, but I thought having the sliding doors was a nice inclusion Everyone I encountered were courteous

Joann Miller

This is my favorite Residence Inn in Louisville hands down Its not the newest but its the best This location is set up like apartments

So whether you are staying one night or six months you can’t deny the benefits of having a patio with a sliding glass door, door opening outside instead of a hallway The landscaping is beautiful, theres a basketball court and an outdoor pool Its located in a great upscale area where there are two malls in less than 2 miles away Two expressways less than 2 miles away, full laundry room, full size kitchen, granite counter tops, two closets in your room and smart TVJason the manager is a class act and so are the employees that he supports Great team and great place

Jason Barrow

We loved our stay here The staff was very nice The 2 bedroom suite with the loft is super nice and very affordable

When we come back to Louisville we are definitely staying here They’re pet friendly so that’s a huge plus But I would definitely recommend this place to anyone Also they have a full kitchen With an oven and dishwasher too

Close to the interstate but not close enough to get road noise, rooms are nice and have very high quality beds Staff were extremely polite and were helpful with any issue we had (Primarily an extremely minor issue with the business center) It’s beside a really nice shopping center so if you want something to do after you check in if you get there early, you can easily walk to the shops and enjoy

Breakfast & Dinner were fantastic, my only nitpick was the biscuits burnt a bit on the bottom but that’s not their fault at all, the warmer did that and there’s no way to prevent it while still keeping them warm

Scott

The staff here is exceptional! Everyone is friendly and helpful The building is modern and well laid out The room was clean and spacious

The breakfast was great with plenty of variety There are several restaurants within walking distance and lots of shopping The security detail for the shops was out all night and kept the parking lot secure

Katharine Nowlin

The staff is FANTASTIC, with exception of the super tall male manager who is an absolute jerk—we overheard him on the phone with someone providing ‘customer service’ and he told them to go book somewhere else if they didn’t like his rates…and the experience we had directly with him, he was very hands off ‘not my problem’ when we simply were inquiring about the difference in the rates quoted online vs when we checked in-it’s wasn’t a big deal we were simply just asking BUT outside of that jerk, the staff was amazing, especially the dining staff and the housekeeping staff…everyone is refreshingly friendly and seem to find joy in their jobs

The hotel was exactly like it is pictured The pool area is clean but heavily chlorinated (messes with your smell after spending much time in there) The rooms are very clean, and well stocked The breakfast was really good, typically we would eat out for all meals but this breakfast had a good selection and the quality was above standards so there was no need to search for edible food elsewhere The nightly dinner was pretty good…with as many young children staying at this hotel I had expected to see a few more options for kids other than a hot dog, but what they did have was good I would have rated the hotel a five, but that main male manager is the only reason I had to take it down to a four Would recommend staying here
