"breakfast was very good parking was good"

Homewood Suites By Hilton Louisville Airport

8/10 Good

"The front desk staff were amazing. Hotel over all was extremely well kept and clean. The hotel room appeared to be clean upon first glance. However, the shower had not been completely scrubbed in what look like quite a while. I always bring cleaning supplies, so I cleaned where I needed. There was food crumbs underneath the dresser. The beds weren’t the worst hotel beds we’ve had, but could have been better. The pillows could be replaced as well. The room temperature was hard to keep at comfortable temp. The bathroom had exhaust fan, which was amazing! We had called to ask for washcloths on last day, never received them. I managed. We never asked for anything entire stay except that, so it was a little disappointing. The internet cut out often, but usually for not very long. Plenty of restaurants close by. My husband tried their breakfast at hotel twice, he was not impressed. The kitchen was small, bet set up well, and updated wonderfully. The entire hotel room was updated, decorated well, and the space felt comfortable. The soap provided gave me headache, not my cup of tea lol. Overall the stay was great!"
