    The location is fantastic as a base for doing anything in Louisville, including fairground events…read morebecause local transportation TARC stops are in walking distance. Many bourbon tastings, shops, boutiques, restaurants, activities, parks in immediate area as well as stop 1 on The Bourbon Trail. Evening entertainment at 4th Street Live is right there. Spot Hero can also give you parking way cheaper than on site as well. Huge facility with many dining and drinking options. BUT, service from staff is perfunctory from check in to check out. Example : we were there 4 nights for Bourbon & Beyond music festival, in the West Tower (so maybe things are different in the East Tower). On check in, we were given a room key and told about the on site restaurant for breakfast. We have Wyndham Platinum Rewards Status. This was not acknowledged. No info on WiFi or housekeeping provided (we didn't even GET our room made Sunday when we did not décline it). We asked at the front desk if the hotel provided transport to the event. We were told to walk across the street to the East Tower to ask at the concierge. Really? You can't pick up the phone and call if you didn't know (which you should )? There was no line of people. Saturday morning asked desk if there was a convenience store on site and given instructions to East Tower. Walked over. Closed. No signage with hours. At 11:30a! Staff didn't even mention it might not be open -- and who would imagine at that time ? Finally, even with status, there is a $20/hr late check out fee on a Monday. Physical plant : halllway carpet was worn, stained, frayed. No microwave in Deluxe King room. Very poor toilet paper. Decent bath towels. No fan in bathroom. Large nice double vanity so deep, difficult to apply makeup with no magnifying mirror. The in room AC would not cool to thermostat setting or even close and there was no continuous fan setting. It would cycle on for 3-4 minutes, then stop. I know not to decrease setting too low but even set at 64 F, it wouldn't cool to 72 so hard for me to sleep. Overall disappointing.

    Over the last 12 weeks, my wife and I have stayed in numerous hotels all around the world. I must…read moresay.... The Galt Hotel is just beautiful and they have a lovely team here. Our Mississippi River Cruise from American Cruise Lines put us up here for a couple of evenings at the end of our cruise and we stayed an additional three days to tour Louisville. Not having to worry about a car certainly drop the stress level down a bit. We were able to walk to most places and where we elected to 'Uber,' the rides were just a couple of minutes. Our room was very nice with plenty of moving and storage space, great views, excellent TV, solid bed, good size bathroom with a wonderful shower and HOT water, and... a great view. We ate breakfast in the hotel a few times and all was good and very reasonbly prices and when we ventured out, there were plenty of shops just walking-minutes from the hotel. I ventured up to their rotating restauarant and swear I will be back on my next visit. It is beautiful and the food looks and smelled wonderful (See seperate review.). We also ate lunch at one of their restauarnat and found it very good. Our favorite place, "Jeff Rubys" was just accross the street and made dining there for the one minute walk back better then perfect. I am not sure why I see reviews under four stars. The Galt House really takes good care of their guests. If you have a bad day... don't write a bad review. KUDOs to the team at The Galt House.

    DO NOT SUPPORT LOST RIVER HOSTEL OR THE OWNER SCOTT WHEELER!…read more Eight years ago, at 19, I volunteered at Lost River Hostel for housing and food and was isolated under the owner, Scott Wheeler, then 39. What seemed like a free-spirited work-trade became sexu@l exploit@tion, m@nipulation, and r@pe, where I felt unable to say no without losing my place to live and was pressured into s3x while similar behavior occurred toward other young women. I later confirmed this pattern continued, and I am sharing so others stay safe. Do not support Lost River Hostel or Scott Wheeler.

    Be prepared! Take a step back in time to when the Gypsies ran wild, rock and roll ruled the land…read moreand alternative medicinals were created to find a trio into far out man-land! This hostel geared towards the let your hair down, forget the grind of the democratic dysfunctional system, and tip toe through the tulips of nature and free range animals of all sorts. This is a one of a kind hostel. Kind hearted people with the demands to return to the Earth and allow her to nurture their spirits and souls without any judgement nor expectations. Games, fire pit surrounded by communal seating; a house of mutual participation with a joint use kitchen, art therapy room and an area for simple conversations and letting time simply be avoided. Trails leading around a property littered with camping beds of sorts; a communal bath/shower place ; and toilets. Be prepared to walk a way to get to a bathroom. I've a feeling maybe a bathroom isn't always required..? A 3/5 simply because though marketed as unique and not everyone's cup of tea, which would be accurate; the reserved date we arrived the dates were equally for a polyamorous focused weekend. Ummm... yeah, these focused weekends of specific topic should be informed of when making reservations!! So.. no, it's not for everyone including me, yet, for any and everyone who seeks this type of venue and experience, I must say this place was unique, owns its uniqueness and the people were kind! Give it a try if this sounds like it may suit you well!! Ask if there's a focus of staying for the dates you're planning on going! You may be glad you asked; either way!! enjoy!

    My husband and I stayed here for 6 days for work in Sep 2024. I'll list the pros and cons…read more Pros: easy and friendly check in. Kitchen in room. Streaming service on TV. Close to restaurants, grocery stores, and gas stations. No bed bugs. Heating/cooling works well. Got some much needed rest. When I asked for a wake up call I got it. Cons: not enough toilet paper or paper towels and when I tried to call front desk or message them from the marriott app, I got no response. Toilet would run for an hour everytime u flushed it. Bathroom had a faint smell of smoke when I checked in and I didn't want to be blamed for it. Tried to send a message about that also to no avail. This has nothing to do w the hotel but whoever was upstairs sounded like a herd of Buffalo slam dancing. I would stay again. Just a few minor tweaks w communication and the toilet was a bit annoying. But we felt safe and the housecleaner were kind. Oh yeah maybe a few more trash bags in the room for extended stays. But ur clean and safe so I say that trumps the rest

    Would leave 0 stars if possible. Hands down the nastiest hotel I have ever stayed in. From bugs in…read morethe carpet, hair in the sheets and to top it all off a door falling off the hinges with some mysterious "liquid" spewing from the HVAC room. (Poor maintenance man was super nice and did the best he could to remedy at 10pm) Avoid at all costs, especially for what the decided to charge on top of paying for parking. Lovely uneven concrete fixed with orange paint. Good luck walking up the stairs if you need the handrail! Might go over as everything is free floating! WASTE OF MONEY
