The Galt House has a great location and offers spacious rooms, but sadly, the value for money isn't as strong as expected. While some areas, like the dining options and additional fees, could use improvement, the unique atmosphere and nice staff stand out. Overall, it feels like it used to be a premier hotel but is now struggling with foundational issues.

Rooms
6.0
The 2-room suite was spacious but not as appealing, with disappointing views of a corridor. We had trouble dealing with a lack of natural light due to the need to keep the curtains closed.
Service
5.0
Although the staff was friendly and accommodating, it felt like they were overwhelmed, leading to struggles with housekeeping. We experienced issues needing deeper cleaning.
Location
8.0
The hotel's central position in Louisville is excellent, especially close to local attractions like the KFC Yum Center. However, the area around could use some upkeep.
Dining
5.0
Dining options on-site were varied but expensive, with no complimentary breakfast. It felt inconvenient as we had to purchase every meal.
Facilities
6.0
The hotel itself is quite large with several on-site restaurants, but amenities like the gym were closed during our stay due to renovations.

7.0/10

My experience at this hotel was a mixed bag. I appreciated the friendly staff and enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere at the atrium bar, but the construction noise was a major downside during my stay. The location is excellent for exploring downtown Louisville, especially if you're attending events at the YUM Center. However, the value for the price I paid felt a bit off given the overall condition of the place.

Rooms
6.0
The rooms I saw were outdated, and while mine was clean, it certainly felt like it needed a facelift. I expected nicer accommodations for the price I paid.
Service
7.0
The staff was friendly and did their best to assist us, especially with the ongoing construction issues. They remained attentive and helpful in seeking resolutions.
Location

This hotel is in a fantastic location, just a short walk to the YUM Center and close to many downtown attractions. It's ideal if you're planning to explore or attend events.
Dining

I had a pleasant experience at the atrium bar, where the atmosphere was lively and the food was better than I expected. It was a great spot to grab a bite.
Facilities

The facilities across the hotel were decent, but the construction dampened the overall experience. I look forward to seeing the completed renovations.
