Top Downtown Louisville Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Regency Louisville

10/10 Excellent

"amazing location will definitely be back"

21c Museum Hotel Louisville

10/10 Excellent

"Unique hotel with character. There's a museum inside and they provide you with a free bourbon sample to tour it. And the PENGUINS. Everywhere there are 3' tall red plastic penguins that seem to move around the hotel. What a fun idea. Woke up to one in front of our door one morning. Great staff!!! So helpful and great to talk to. Everyone from the doorman to the front desk and bar staff. Also loved the bar! Cici was amazing!"

Econo Lodge Louisville Downtown

8/10 Good

"This is the second time I have stayed here. Very clean. The hairdryer in room stopped working and I called the front desk. I was very impressed by how fast they came to my room and took care of my needs. A+. Also, the room was Very clean. Great housekeeping. The only complaint I had was the vending machines kept my money and they were not working. Another guest on the floor had the same issue. I ended up walking across the street to a gas station for snacks and a drink. I would not advise walking in the night alone. Alot of homeless people begging for money. Not at the property though. I felt very safe at the property. I recommend this hotel and would stay again. Also breakfast area was also very clean. Fast check in as well."
