Charlestown Hotels

Location worked for us, close to everything we needed. Older décor in common areas and rooms. Low quality linens and toiletries

It was conveniently located. The room had a very strong air freshener smell, which made me wonder what they were trying to cover up...

The rate was the only really good part about this hotel. Our two rooms both had very odd, strong smells. The pools were nice but there were issues with their rules being enforced.

Convenient near the freeway for on the way travelers. It doesn't have elevators to go to the upper level. It becomes complicated to carry luggage. We requested a room change because the one we got had a strong mildew odor.

Need to have free Internet. It's 2015

The hotel was newly finished and was beautiful. The location was centralize and idea for activities in the downtown area. I travel often and regularly stay in a variety of hotels which fall into this category (many of them are also Embassy Suites.) However, In my many years of travel I have never found a larger group of rude, dismissive, and unprofessional employees then those of Embassy Suites in Downtown Louisville. Not until my recent visit to this hotel, was I ever given the impression that a hotel staff was intentionally trying to NOT be accommodating and/or helpful. It interesting that a team in the service industry, would seeming go out of their way to do this. This is also rather disappointing, considering that I paid almost $700.00 for two room and a 1 night stay. I would think for that price I should NOT have a "supervisor" raise his voice to me, then publicly shame me for booking through a 3rd party booking site (apparently this makes you a second class citizen and justifies them treating you poorly,) and then proceed to scream at me "what do you want me to do about it." Please keep in mind that this was in front of my friends and about 20 stranger in the lobby, oh and 10 other employees of the hotel... Classy! All of this stemming from their in ability to accommodate the simple request of adjoining rooms. Also keep in mind that I had called this hotel several times in the days prior to my check-in and spoke to a variety of people regarding this. All of whom told me different things - everything from "sure, no problem," to "I've added a note..., "or call back on this day and tell them to..." Also during this train wreck of an experience, I had two employees who couldn't even find my reservation, one of which did everything but call me a liar. However, he did manage to rather blatantly imply that I didn't really have a reservation and that I must have either made a mistake, or was making it up to pull one over on them....are you kidding me?!? As it turns out, the only reason they couldn't find my reservation was because the employees didn't understand that if you are trying to pull up a booking from a later date, you have to change the date of your search to that day and not the current date... Sounds rather basic... Of course, I can't blame those employees - clearly they were poorly trained! In short - unless you want to be verbally abused by the staff and be made to feel bad because you only spent $700 on your room(s) instead of $750, this is not the place for you.

They are close to the airport. The air conditioning worked. No bedbugs. The airport shuttle only runs from 7am -11pm. My flight came in at 10:30pm and they wouldn't pick me up. My return flight left at 6 am and it cost $14 their Uber. The walls are thin, the security door to the outside was broken, the bathroom door didn't close, the bathroom fan didn't work, there was dog food on the floor, there were dirty towels in the room and kids were running and screaming in the halls till 4 am. Oh, and the decor is fraying. In summary, it was dirty, run down, and i didn't sleep well. I paid $74/night and it was the only place available that weekend. If you have to stay here, it will do but don't expect any luxuries. If i had known the shuttle wouldn't pick me up or drop me off I would never have booked this place.

Location was accurate Room service was terribal an air condition kept freezing up

The beds were comfortable. The place smelled musty and the walls in the hallways were dirty.

This was a terrible experience. Bed Bugs, a pool that is closed often, and an unfriendly staff for the most part. The hotel is not well kept and has water leaking in everywhere. It rained for a total of 25 minutes on the first of the 4 nights I stayed their and water could be found on the ground in and around the snack machine area the entire time. They did little to nothing to resolve the issue. We had to change rooms multiple times bcause the keykard machine didn't work and they couldn't get our rooms unlocked. Three of the individuals in our room came home with Bed bugs in their bags and one of them had over 30 bites on them. I do not review things ever, but this was so bad I felt I had to. The pictures on the website are very old, you will not find that the inside is representative of them AT ALL. Go to a different Hotel. Trust me.

Convenient location Once we had our room, we were getting kids ready for swimming and someone else used their room key to open our door and were just as surprised as we were. I called the front desk...gentleman said sorry and he would take care of it. Went swimming...pool was nice, but older kids playing catch with a football across it. After they nearly hit my 2 year old, I politely asked them to not throw that way again....we ended up leaving as they carried on throwing from one end to the other...when we got to our room our keys wouldn't work....the front must have cancelled all keys when they rented out our room twice. We had to go all the way back from room 609 to have our keys reset. Around 1 am when I went to the bathroom a roach the length of my thumb was on the floor.....needless to say I didn't sleep well afterwards.

Rooms were remodeled/redecorated. Online pictures a bit deceiving in the overall quality of the hotel. Disjointed layout (rooms not all accessible from a lobby elevator). Hallways were dark and dank. Elevator sounded like it was going to break every time. Staff wasn't very professional.

Like the pool (we usually stay here because our local granddaughters like to swim) and the new decor in the lobby area and redecorated areas. Felt safe and the location was wonderful. Staff was attentive when we checked in. Our first room was not clean and the heat/air was not working correctly. When I called the front desk the next morning (I turned it off for the night), they said they would have someone look at it while we were out of the room for the day. Nothing was done. When we got back, the front desk personnel who had come on duty didn't know anything about our request or if any maintenance had been requested or done. We asked to be moved and were moved next door. That room was clean and the HVAC worked (a newer unit). We may not return because the room are not consistent.
