My hotel stay was fabulous! The staff was very professional and polite, especially Pam and Brandon at the bar. They were very friendly and they made sure we got what we ordered in a timely manner. The food was hot and satisfying. I’m glad to know this hotel is in Louisville because I’ll definitely be staying again.

It seems like there were some challenges with the staff's performance during my stay. Unfortunately, the toiletries were not available in the room at the beginning, and it took almost 2 hours to receive them after requesting them.
