This property was unfortunately not a good experience. The hotel room was nice and beautiful however the facilities were bare minimum inaccessible the staff was rude the food was an edible and when we tried to take the food back they wouldn't give us our money back offered us comp cards for the food however we had no intention of returning so we just lost the money.

Really enjoyed the ambiance! Born and raised in Louisville and staying at this hotel felt like I was a bigger/different city. The room was huge, we stayed on the second floor but still had a pretty nice view that felt like we were higher up. The details for the interior design were top tier. Loved all the small hints of roses, derby, horses, and decor. 10/10! Will stay again.

Pamela

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Very clean and safe. Close to the highway which was good for us. No microwaves in the rooms which would have been nice. One morning there was no coffee bar and since it's part of the casino i would think there would be coffee there, but none to be found. Had to leave the property to get coffee. Rooms very beautiful and nicely decorated. Beds were extremely comfortable.
