Place was real nice and historic, but the checkout staff apparently was having a bad day. We stayed in luxury room but wasn’t that impressed for the price. Massive leaks in the 3rd floor have caused the ceiling to crumble and collapse in some places. Dinner was great; had the hot brown and salmon- both on point. Breakfast at the cafe was good too. Left unimpressed other than it was good but nothing special.

The place is really nice. I enjoyed the Historical features about this place stafff is friendly. Everything was great on that end.The one thing that I hated was the beds!!! We had 4 people 2 rooms, deluxe, and we all slept Awful. the beds are hard as a rock. And the mattresses are just plain old and hard.. I thought they had pillow top mattresses. Turns out there was just a pillow on top of the mattress. If they would just get better, mattresses and a coffee bar in the morning Downstairs VS the miniature coffee machine in my room. This would have been one of 5he best hotels!

The Brown Hotel is absolutely beautiful - a great job of historic and modern convenience. The staff is amazing - everyone went out of their way to be helpful - especially Josh - from the moment we pulled up to the front door to the moment he brought our car with our bags already loaded in - could not have been more caring and helpful. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant and it was amazing. The service there was spectacular as well. I walked around the downtown area surrounding the hotel on Sunday morning. The hotel is amazing. The neighborhood is not. I turned around several times when things got sketchy, and I was appreciative of the Louisville Police on foot patrol. While we'll stay at the Brown Hotel again (over and over - it's delightful), I'll get my exercise some other way. I HIGHLY recommend the Brown Hotel.
