Top California Hotel Reviews

Cambria Hotel Louisville Downtown-Whiskey Row

10/10 Excellent

"The bed was very comfortable. The food was really good and the staff was very friendly."

Hyatt Regency Louisville

10/10 Excellent

"I love the look of this hotel. It's amazing to be able to look up 18 stories and then to go up to the 18th story and look down. All in all the hotel appears to be very well kept. However, I was surprised that at the top of the ceiling in the main atrium some of ceiling was hanging down possibly from water damage which took away from the beauty. Also the elevator door is looked worn in the main lobby on the outside. But other than that everything inside was great. Free fruit water in the lobby. I was not very impressed with the area. Same kind of rundown. I didn't feel entirely safe walking around but it wasn't terrible and it certainly not the hotel's fault. All in all a great experience. Good view as well."
