What guests think

At Residence Inn Louisville Downtown, guests consistently praise the clean, spacious suite-style rooms with kitchens and a convenient downtown location near Slugger Field and NuLu, though some note a sketchy feel nearby and paid garage parking.

The indoor pool is a plus, but the hot tub is frequently out of order and water temperature can be chilly. Breakfast is generally well liked with hot options and variety, though some guests found it limited, overly packaged, or uneven (including a few quality and dietary-option concerns). Many appreciate the apartment-style layout, but pull-out sofas are often uncomfortable and some guests note noise or maintenance hiccups. Service is generally friendly and helpful; check pool status and budget for parking for a smooth stay.

We stayed her as It was close to my daughters basketball tournament (Run for The Roses) two bedroom definitely was the right choice with the kids. Pool was clean. Exercise room was big enough with the right equipment and breakfast was a huge benefit in the mornings. Would stay again.

Great place. Only thing I was bummed about was that the hot tub was broken. Which would not have been a big deal except that’s the very reason I booked the hotel.

We arrived around 2 a.m. when we went to get into our bed and found hair and dirt in the bedsheets. We chose this hotel so the kids could swim and it was one of very few with a hot tub. The hot tub was out of order. Front desk staff the first morning we were there was not nice at all. She seemed bothered by my questions regarding parking. Def wouldn’t stay here again.

We choose the hotel based on several factors. One of those factors were indoor pool and hot tub. The hot tub was out of order and the water temp in the pool was too cold to swim. We asked the staff if the temp was adjustable and the comment made to us was" it is 29 degrees outside that effects the pool, if it's too cold don't swim." There were also other guests that stated the water was too chilly. If we had known of these 2 factors prior to booking, we would have choose a different hotel. We will not be staying there again.

The neighborhood is a bit on the rougher side and a good 10 minute walk from the nicer part of town. That being said, it was well worth the walk! Very clean hotel with great customer service and a nice breakfast that comes with the room. We also enjoyed the fitness center and the hot tub.

Very nice stay! Very clean, very comfy. 1 block from Louisville Slugger Field and surrounded by many restaurants and bars. Kinda loud after a ballgame, but settled once traffic was gone. Room had a full kitchen, comfy bed but pillows were awful. Shower is big walk-in with good pressure. Breakfast was good with lots of options. Off street parking for $21/day, but come and go as you please. We didn’t swim but pool had families in it all day/night. Staff was super nice. Highly recommend!! Will stay here every time in Louisville.

Hot tub? Didnt work. Didnt know til I checked in. 2 days AFTER I checked out...HOTELS COM informed. Host was trash. Acted like I should've known hot tube was down and pool was as cold as the Ohio River. HOTEL arcitecture eas awesome. EVERYTHING else sucked. INCLUDING THE $21 parking fee I was told I'd be refunded for the hot tube not working. Feels like my tip was licked with no payoff. Got robbed by a hooker.

Our floor reeked of cigarettes. My son cut himself on something in the pool and when he went to grab a towel to leave, it was covered in hair. I also found a bunch of long black hairs in our bathroom (we are both blonde). The hotel is right across the street from the university which I didn’t realize when booking. I think it’s more of a party hotel. It just wasn’t what I was expecting for Marriott.

This hotel is fine, but not an outstanding hotel by any means. The room and common areas were clean, but dingy with lots of scuffed-up walls and furniture. The area around the hotel is pretty run down. But the price was good, and they had a nice, properly tended hot tub.

The pullout sofas absolutely need to be replaced. We had 2 rooms and both had a thin mattress with the cross bar pushing up though it. I thought it bothered me because I am older but my 12 yr old niece said in her room she couldn\'t sleep because of it either. I am pretty easy to please. I am very low maintenance and that "bed" is not acceptable.

The staff was friendly but we got the wrong room at first. When we checked out their was just a note that stated leave all keys in this bucket but no real checkout structure. That was odd as nobody knew what to do. The room was clean but our sink was broken in the kitchen. Great location close to food, attractions/museums, and the ballpark. Definitely will be staying again.

Checkin was not a good experience at all, even though I had checked in before we even arrived. The lady was just not nice at all. Everything else was great. The night staff treated us great, and the morning staff the next day had just as great service. Our room was very nice aside from a couple of broken cabinet doors. The breakfast was really good. We loved the bed and slept very well.

This was by far the best hotel I've stayed at on years. I'm a frequent traveler and hotels have NOT been what they used to be pre-covi d. But upon arrival Pat went above and beyond to make our stay as great as possible signing us up for Marriott membership and upgrading our stay. The room was great. No issues. Clean and extra linens and pillow (again something not seen much anymore). The breakfast was eco friendly, had chobani yogurt, plenty of GOOD breakfast choices. They didn't just out out cheap choices it actually felt like you were getting something of substance. And so clean. Would recommend this hotel hands down. And do the Marriott membership!

No room available. They moved us to their sister hotel to a room with no kitchenette (not even a microwave) and no complementary breakfast, but still charged the full amount. We had to eat out for all meals including breakfast which we had not planned for. Additionally, there were rooms available (on Expedia) at this Residence Inn for all nights of our stay but they told us there was no room for us because someone else didn’t check out.

This was such a great stay! I loved the room with the little Kitchenette, Full size fridge, microwave, even a dishwasher. I liked the couch and how the TV could swivel to where you were in the room. The price for all of this was great! The pool and hot tub were nice though the chlorine smell was a little intense. I think there may have been too much. It started to burn my eyes, so I had to get out of there. The breakfast in the morning was great. I absolutely LOVED the oatmeal bar!! Such a great idea. I need to get a set up like that for home!! I could not have asked for a better stay. It was great!!!
