Bigger Than I Expected

The room was much larger than I had expected for the price that I paid. I was pleasantly surprised to have plenty of room the both of my children, my husband, and I to all be able to stretch out and have our own beds. For a two room suite I would have expected the price to be higher. I was pleasantly surprised.

Pleasant Stop

My party of 5 reserved a 2 bedroom suite to spend the night on our way home to Ohio from Florida on 8/13. The front desk hostess was knowledgable and very kind. She took care of my transaction quickly and smoothly. She gave clear directions to my room. The suite was a perfect size for us; roomy and clean. The breakfast buffet was organized and well kept. The food was filling and all hot. We enjoyed our stop especially the noon check out time since that meant we didn't have to rush. I would recommend this Best Western to anyone needing a place to stay that is value priced and clean.

Not Bad!

Wonderful smell walking off the elevator. Seemed like a freshly shampood carpet. Elevator maintenance from 2200-0600. Nice to see, actually. The hotel is clean and up-to-date, but the sink is in the suite, not in the bathroom. The rooms are a tad smaller than other king suites we've stayed at recently. No alarm clock/radio. Quality products being used throughout. Good breakfast.

Close, Confortable and Friendly Louisville

Louisville, KY. was the first stop of our mutli-state ride in the end of July 2017. I like to book ahead when possible so we don't run into issues of not finding a room and wanted to stay for a few days to look around this beautiful city. Being a Best Western Rewards card holder I decided on this hotel since it was close to thing we wanted to see. The Best Western Louisville - East is only 10 miles from downtown on I-64 or I-264. It's also very close to a Target, Wal-Mart and numerous restaurants, stores and car dealerships. They have an indoor pool with a hot tub, guest laundry, exercise facility, wifi and smoke free.
 
We arrived and were greeted with smiles and friendly faces. The check-in was pretty normal and since we were on a motorcycle towing a small trailer we were directed to a perfect place to park. This left us the opportunity to unhook the trailer and secure it at the hotel instead of dragging it around with us. The room had a king size bed, small refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker and was clean a fresh smelling. We adjusted the air conditioner to our liking and decided to go down the street to eat. The room was on the west side of the building and we saw a beautiful sunset from our window.  The next morning after eating the complimentary full hot breakfast including French Toast sticks instead of waffles, Yogurt and juice in the hotel we set off the sight see. The breakfast area was clean and plenty of places to sit.

Our first stop was the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory (See the review on it's own page). The museum was set up very nice and has a great deal of information, history and bats used by famous baseball players over the years. We took the factory tour (NO cameras allowed) and our tour guide was great.

Next it was off the Louisville Mega Cavern to take a tram ride through this huge underground cavern that can be used for storage, bike riding, BMX racing, zip line or anything else you can imagine. You can make reservations ahead of time online through their web site. explained safety numerous items before we started. The tour is about 60 to 75 minutes long and goes under the Louisville Zoo and even I-264.

Next it was off to the famous Churchill Downs, (See this review on it's own page) home to the Kentucky Darby since 1875 and the longest continually running sporting event in America. The Kentucky Derby Museum is wonderful place to visit. It cover the history of this famous race from the beginning up until the most recent derby winner with numerous exhibits, some interactive. The also have a fantastic 360 degree movie which is a must see that covers previous winners as well as the day of the Kentucky Derby. If you get there in the morning early you may even see the future derby winner training on the track.

Finally it was time to eat and it was a quick trip (about 10 to 15 minutes) again to the hotel to freshen up and back to downtown for dinner an Joe's Crab Shack (See review on it own page) which was a little hard to locate because of some construction but is visible from I-64. The restaurant sits only a few feet from the Ohio River and we watched numerous boats and barges pass by. My only complaint is you have to pay for parking even to go to eat since it's located along the riverfront. The food was delicious.  

After riding around a little longer we headed back to our hotel. Fresh clean sheets and towels awaited us. The shower had good water pressure and relaxing. The king size bed was comfortable and had numerous pillows. The small dorm style refrigerator had a ice area where we were able to place some bottles of water to keep frozen for our next day travels. This is my only pet peeve and it's with almost 98% of the places we stay. Those little refrigerators never get real cold or don't have a place where to freeze things. Lucky for us this one did. The next morning after eating some breakfast at hotel's complimentary breakfast area which was well stocked and clean, it was off to our next stay.
Check-out was quick and again everyone was smiling a friendly.
I would recommend the Best Western Louisville - East and will stay here again when traveling through the area.
