Hawthorn Suites by Wyndham Louisville East
Excellent guy at reception - several offers to help any way he could. Nice spacious room, very comfortable. Could use some Tilex around bath mat and drain. Very quiet despite being in room closest to the pool. Good breakfast but a few minutes late and decaf coffee was cold. But overall very pleased ...
