The Brown Hotel 335 West Broadway, Louisville, KY 40202

"What a wonderful experience today at Brown Hotel!! From the moment we walked in until we left it was nothing but a cordial wonderful experience! Louise made sure that we were able to dine even though we came in an hour early, Sue was so awesome and so delightful but Megan B. was the absolute BEST!!! Highly recommend her and this hotel!!"

"One of the nicest hotels in Louisville! Comfy rooms and beds. The staff is always friendly and very professional and courteous. Great service in the restaurant too! You will love the food. Check it out."

"The pros: An absolutely gorgeous historical gem of a hotel. The architecture and the decor were so grand. And since we stayed in December, the place was extra festive, all decked out for Christmas. The parking garage is tucked next to the hotel, and they even have a connecting tunnel, so you don't have to walk outside when taking your luggage from your car to the hotel. They have a valet service, but we opted for self parking. As for the room, the bed and pillows were very comfortable, and it felt very spacious. The gift shop was nice and had lots of unique trinkets, clothing, and even artwork. We checked out the restaurant as well, and the server was very friendly. We had appetizers and dessert, and both were delicious. The cons: Upon first walking into the bathroom in our room, there was a long black hair on one of the towels. Definitely did not use that one. And although the bed was comfortable, the HVAC system was loud. It emitted a high pitched sound that only ear plugs could dampen. It didn't make for a very restful sleep. After check out, and before leaving for a long car ride, I went to the public restrooms in the hotel. Two of the stalls were completely clogged with feces. Yuck."

"Keep in mind this is a century old property when judging the rooms. Some are odd shaped, the decor is more my grandmother's style, and while well kept the rooms could use a refresh. Yet, I feel this is easily overlooked considering the rich history of the building. Delightful employees, gorgeous lobby, and excellent restaurant set the bar for a historic property."
