Horrible
My family stayed in the Galt House in October 2008. A CD travel case with 10 of my sons favorite DVDs was stolen from our room while we were out on our last night of our stay. While we locked up jewelry and electronics. I went through the trouble ...
I loved the view and the location. If you are looking for a romatic getaway this is just the place. The room was clean, the staff was friendly. My tip would be to stay in the east tower.
I only found one real flaw. The parking was difficult...

Good
I didn't feel that they should make you pay to park your vehicle in their parking garage if you are staying with them. So you not only have to pay for your room, but you have to pay $12.00 to park your vehicle in their garage. But over all it is a...

The location is very convenient to downtown. I have stayed here many times usually through discount web services like hotwire or priceline, but the room I get never really matches the rest of the hotel or the other ratings posted on the site. The room always has old furniture, not so comfortable beds at the back-end of the hotel. I chalk it up to either the discount/or the fact that I am a younger (20 somethings) guest...either way if not for the courteous serivce from the staff and location my experience would be rated poor.

We stayed at the Galt House while working at a conference in the Convention Center. The hotel is lovely and we really had no complaints. We were delighted by the service! When we stay in a hotel for multiple nights we usually try to identify the staff person who is service-oriented, and address any questions or requests to that person. At the Galt every single staff person we spoke to over the course of our 5 day-4 night stay was eager to help us in any way, generally going above and beyond our expectations.
The room was very nice, comfortable and clean. The housekeeping service was great! The food at the Magnolia Room was delicious, and the service was terrific. We didn't use any of the other hotel facilities since we were busy at the convention center.
Our only concern was the elevator service in the West Tower (Rivue). It was extremely slow. We used the stairs frequently, which would have been impossible if our room had been on a higher floor.
Overall, we loved the Galt House. I hope we can visit Louisville and stay there again some time when we have more time to enjoy the hotel and the city.
I can't wait to go back March the 15th and stay with my FPS team the service was amazing in so many different ways! Yahoooo you should go to the galt house too. And be like...

Excellent
My husand and I stayed in the suite tower. The room was excellent and the location was great as well. There are many great restaurants within walking distance, but the hotel has excellent dining also. The room service was great. The suite towers ...

It is a very nice hotel located within a stone's throw of the Ohio River. It is in walking distance from the Louisville Convention Center, with a skywalk if you do not want to go outside. They seemed a little careless about room repairs.
I felt welcome due to the friendliness of all the staff from the front desk clerk to the housekeeper.
I am very likely
to return to the The Galt House Hotel and Suites.
I would definitely recommend it to friends.

The Galt House hotel is a nice hotel with a friendly staff. The new renovations make it an enjoyable stay. It is a little pricey especially if staying just for pleasure, but if you want a river view, then stay there.
I am very likely
