Friendly Staff and Well-maintained Facilities
Pros:

The staff at Best Western Louisville East are very kind and professional. Every interaction was helpful, warm and friendly. I left an expensive item on the check-in desk and the person there called and texted until we connected. The rooms were spacious and clean and well equipped with amenities one might forget. The location is quiet and the grounds are well maintained. The breakfast was well stocked and included both hot and cold options. The cost was very reasonable as well.

Why go anywhere that you don’t feel like family!
Pros:

Lindsey, Eric and the entire team at this hotel have been working with us for many years to make an incredible and comfortable Derby experience. We bring a group of 20 or more year after year and they raise the bar on themselves every year. The value for the cost, especially during Derby season is hard to beat. It feels like we are visiting family. We’ll be back team, but the world needs to know how special you are.

Pros:

Rooms where very clean, and rooms where great.

Cons:

Several occasions there was Noone occuping the front desk. When I arrived to check in I waited 15 mins til someone should up. No sign or message saying they would be right back. That was not the only time I noticed it.
No juice choices for breakfast. Only water or milk, and I think the milk was for the cereal.
