Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham Louisville East
Everything was amazing. The room was beyond my expectations and the staff were super nice. I was really surprised how the room was slightly furnished like a small apartment. Definitely a place I would highly recommend.

Staff, the bed in the suite was the most uncomfortable bed you can imagine. You laid down and sunk, your head and feet was in the air. Luckily we had a sofa sleeper as well. The week of Christmas we was here was great the bed sucked.
