The front desk worker, T’ann, helped me out and made me feel I was going home every day after my whole day tour in Louisville. I also witnessed she helped a customer who can’t speak English. She tried different ways to help him and provided the best service. I have traveled to almost 50 states and stayed in lots of hotels. I can tell you: she is the best!!!! 👍👍👍

Room is not that clean like I thought. Hair is all over the places such as bed, pillows, and toilet. 😞 in my opinion, “ clean” is a very basic standard for a hotel even a cheaper one.

Econo Lodge is situated close to the center of Louisville, and in close vicinity to some important locations such as the Kentucky International Convention Center (5 minutes walking distance). The receptionists were welcoming & helpful. They even recommended attractions close by, which are worth visiting. The rooms were clean, spacious & the beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were clean; however, the space was limited. Room amenities such as towels and soap were provided. The breakfast was alright, which included bagels, hot pancakes, bread, cereals, yogurt etc. The staff was friendly and the room service was good as well.

During our stay of 6 nights, our keycard got disabled thrice, which was a bit annoying to find out after reaching the door. Nothing significant other than that.

Econo Lodge staff worked tirelessly to accommodate us despite Booking.com's failure to communicate our reservations. Booking.com sent us confirmation, but reportedly did not inform the hotel. Thankfully, the front desk staff worked and worked to make our stay possible. We were grateful, as we had been on the road for hours and needed a restful night's sleep.

Afternoon receptionist was really nice

Lots of homeless and prostitutes hanging around The breakfast was so awful and cheap. They dont get fresh pastries but saved the uneaten ones for the next day. How cheap can they be! No eggs and said the pancake pan was broken. Why don’t they fix it?? Duh Room floors were filthy. My feet were black from walking to the bath from the bed. Gross!!

I love the value I got from my stay. The cost was very good, it was in a very convenient location in walking distance to many things to see in downtown, the room was comfortable and clean.

I didn’t love the fact that there were fire engines going off quite a bit, probably because the fire department must be dispatched anytime there’s any sort of health emergency, even if there aren’t fires happening. And the fire station must be very close by. But that was the only thing I didn’t like.

Bed was extremely comfortable, nice size pillows, water pressure and temperature in shower were excellent. AC was cold. Very hospitable and helpful staff. Hotel was in a convenient area with easy access to downtown area.

Toilet seat was broken, floor was a bit dirty all over and also bumpy in bathroom. Electrical outlets were only on one side of the bed.

Being an older property, it seemed to be well maintained and kept clean. There was however an issue with the payment. The issue is with Booking and not the Econo Lodge, they were happy to refund the original payment back to me. There was a double payment made for this reservation. I am still dealing with Booking to get my refund.

Breakfast was as expected and fresh. The location was within a half mile of destination. The parking spaces are a decent size of most vehicles. The bed was very comfortable.

Being a paying customer for a room,was disappointed to have to pay for parking even though it wasn't that much. Other than that no other dislikes.

The location of the property was perfect plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance, plus we were there for a concert at the KFC center which was also in walking distance.

The staff was very nice and helpful, and the rooms were ok! The hot water doesn’t actually get hot and the breakfast could use an upgrade.

very clean, perfect location to explore downtown

I was not made aware there would be a $5 parking fee (even with a booked in advance room) and a $100 deposit that had to be charged on a different card than what you used to pay for the room. The $100 was back within 3 days but not my point. I don’t care for “little” surprises when I’m out of town..
