“The Brown's nostalgia”
The Brown Hotel is a historic Louisville stay that splits opinion — a festive elegant atmosphere, loved history information around the hotel, a spacious feel everywhere, amazing attentive helpful staff, and top-notch dining; guests came for the nostalgia and found the building as maintained as an old property can be. Caveats though: the queens run small, the room TV is tiny, the air conditioning quit on both nights of one stay, and a severe dissent calls it very outdated — recommending it only for those seeking an old-time feel.
