Excellent staff, very clean room and perfect location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Grady Hotel. The restaurant Wild Swan was amazing as well, Trevor the bar tender is awesome!
The hotel is well maintained, has a good on site restaurant, is near other restaurants and sites such as the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory. Overall a great place to stay.
The room was wonderfully decorated and clean, and the shower was amazing. Service was also great: Linda shlepped up a flight of stairs at 10 PM to get an extra coffee for me, and Kevin at the front desk was consistently friendly and professional. Wild Swann, the hotel restaurant, has both great food and drinks; I highly recommend the Beet Salad. If you get Travis as your bartender, you are in for a treat: this guy should be a comedian. I will definitely stay here the next time I'm in Louisville.
The Grady Hotel was a wonderful stay! The building was immaculate. The staff was very friendly. The highlight of our stay was breakfast at The White Swan. The best breakfast we’ve ever had on a trip. And Mark is amazing!! Totally made our trip.
This is a beautiful hotel with super friendly staff…it would be a ten but I would give it an eight due to windows being drafty and the mattress being a little too firm.
