I stayed here for a work trip as this was in the middle of the two areas I was traveling to. The location is a great distance from all the attractions of Louisville, whether for business or vacation. I found the room to be clean and comfortable. I'm not one who cares about the view from my window, but I did laugh when I opened my window to the HVAC vents. If views matter to you, go higher than the 3rd floor. I wasn't there long enough to have an opinion on the service, but everyone i interacted with was pleasant, even if some of the front desk employees were a little quiet and I needed to ask them to repeat themselves a few times (I have poor hearing by nature so this isn't a unique experience for me). When you check in, if you don't have a car, make sure to let them know. This hotel automatically charges $8/day for parking. Management was extremely helpful in reversing this charge for me post-bill, but it would've been more convenient had I known beforehand. Overall, I enjoyed my stay at the Louisville Marriott East and would book a stay here again in the future.

Great hotel! A little lacking in space in the rooms and especially elevators, but the staff make up for it in their professionalism and service. If you're disabled like me, you may find it a bit difficult to move around in the room in a wheelchair, and the elevators are small, but the employees are great! Comfortable bed, clean bathroom, great breakfast. Lounge is closed on the weekends (when I went) so was given complimentary breakfast instead due to being Titanium elite with Marriott. Great selection of food, and custom made omelettes! And the Assistant General Manager, Justin also emailed me personally which was an amazing touch. A+ to this hotel!

This hotel has been around for a while, but you wouldn't know it as it's up to date with a semi-luxurious look and feel. Rooms are comfortable and updated and we used their meeting / conference area to host a training session which is also classy, bright and modern. The staff were excellent and helpful including the food and beverage staff. Great location right off of I 64 in East Louisville with an abundance of food. Shoping and services all close by.

The staff here are truly wonderful—especially Katya, who was exceptionally kind and attentive throughout our stay. Her warm hospitality made a big difference. The rooms, however, could use some updating to match the great service. Overall, a pleasant experience thanks to the friendly team.

Excellent bar and restaurant. Really big gym with peloton bikes. However, the service was the best part of the hotel. I spoke with several staff members during my stay who all were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Although I don’t remember the name of the employee, a manager who was on duty on Monday night July 13th was especially helpful after a long day of really rough travel.
