Thunder Over Louisville

Beautiful place, friendly staff, very pricey for a suite for 2 nights. The air show & fireworks were great, but we stood out in the cold to see them. Could have walked from any hotel downtown to see them. They were FREE! Also, no free WI-FI, we paid almost $600.00 for 2 nights and no FREE wi-fi. Wi-fi is FREE at McDonalds! How cheap!

18th Wedding Anniversary
Georgetown, IN
22 Apr 2012

Elevators broken, walked up 12 flights of stairs with luggage in tow.

Check-in was easy and fast. The problem started when my husband and I waited 30 minutes for the elevator. Having dinner reservations at 6:00, we decided to take the stairs. Our room was on the 12th floor. We walked up 12 flights of stairs with luggage in tow. By the time we got to our room the time was 6:05. We missed our dinner reservations. We asked for a king bed, we were given two queens. I assumed we had a king bed at check-in because the person at the front desk didn't say any differently. Leaving the hotel to find some where to eat since we missed our dinner reservations, we waited yet another 30 mins for an elevator and then took the steps down 12 flights of stairs. Did I mention that we were celebrating our 18th Wedding Anniversary. The next morning while taking a cold shower, there were three large globs of long, blond hair matted to the walls in the shower. Enough already!
