Again, another wonderful visit to one of my favorite hotels. Brown's staff was very accomodating, friendly and always greeted you with a smile. The food was so good, the atmosphere was delightful, the room was beautifully decorated and fully serviced.
Stay in quite a few nice hotels. The Brown, from the doormen to the check in desk to the ladies cleaning the room to the restaurants is one consistently flawless experience. I don't think I have ever encountered such a diverse group of job roles that are all on the same A+ hospitality page respect, courtesy, helpfulness and over all just really nice. I have a friend that stays here every time he is in Louisville and told me about it and said it is a great hotel, so I tried it. He was right. My wife and I fly out tomorrow and I was told the Brown has a shuttle to the airport. I have no doubt they will be true to their word.
Very Satisfied.
Hi there! You can ask me anything at all about the The Brown Hotel.
Try some of these examples:
"What's for breakfast?"
"What's the parking situation?"
"How far is [location of your choice]?"
What is cool about this hotel?
