The Brown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved the architectural style, antique furnishings and very friendly staff. Had the “Hot Brown” for dinner upon approval and our server gave us the history of the hotel and the Hot Brown. The rooms were comfortable and very clean. Enjoyed chatting with staff regarding notable past guests like celebrities and musicians. Would definitely stay here again should we return to Louisville."

Derby City Gaming & Hotel - A Churchill Downs Property (Adults Only)

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was fantastic. We stayed in one of the large king suites and it was the size of a small house. The separate living area with another TV and large sectional was nice. Also for our room, they should note that the derby has practice from 5am until 10am. One of the windows faced the track and it was a nice surprise to look out the window and see them practicing. You can pull the shade down if you don't want to see it. There was ample seating and several desks and vanities. Near the "kitchen area" you have counter tops and a hidden mini-fridge and a deep sink. One draw back was the kithen lacked a microwave or a way to reheat food. The bathroom was spacious, with a large walk in shower & a separate toilet area with a door. The bedroom was large and the bed had more than enough pillows. The king size pillow-top mattress is the one big drawback from the room, It was very stiff even though it said pillow-top mattress. Everything else was great with our stay. I would highly recommend a stay here. We will be back again in the future. Extra bonus: While I was waking up and packing my wife tried out the casino in the hotel and she played a few games and spent around $100 and won $300+. So she smartly cashed out her winnings and left ahead!"
