Best Hotels near Forest Friends Playground, Oldham County

I travel as a teacher with students quite often. Selecting a hotel is one of the most difficult parts of planning travel. I was recommended to try the Aloft by Marriot in Louisville. This stay was awesome. We had to arrive late and our room keys and everything were prepared in advance which made checking in easy. Ryan at the front desk was very professional and a great guy. The rooms were spotless and some of my students commented that this was ”The nicest hotel we've ever stayed in.” I was impressed and I will definitely use this hotel again. I didn't get to try the pool but it is a great looking indoor pool.

From the initial interaction with the front desk staff, Cody and Juan made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. The room was great, the beds were comfortable and we slept so well after a long day at the waterpark. We got up, breakfast was free and so good, they even had a teddy bear waffle maker, it was so nice, Jayden I believe her name was that was helping with breakfast was smiling and pleasant and made sure nothing ran out and was on top of everything, she was amazing too! The pool area was comfortable and big enough to enjoy, seating was good, it was an overall excellent experience for me and all the kids I brought with me! I am an absolute hotel snob, but I loved this place. From check in to check out, I had not one bad thing to say about the facility, the staff, the food, or location. I even stayed an extra two nights I was so happy with it! I would 100% recommend and will be booking here for ALL future stays in KY or the area. Thank you especially to Cody and Juan for making what started out as a rough vacation, so much better, you too were absolute angels to me and my family. Thank you again!

I stayed at this property while driving from Michigan to Florida. The room was nicely appointed and very clean. The manager, Harold, was pleasant, friendly and helpful. When we got to our room, the TV was not working. I called the front desk and Harold came to the room within minutes and quickly fixed the problem. Hecalso was very helpful in providing directions to a nearby restaurant. The breakfast was nothing out of the ordinary, but adequate and comparable to or better than similar hotels. I would recommend this property and would stay there again.

This hotel feels very satisfied, the overall feeling is good, the room is clean and the lobby staff is very warm and friendly. The traffic is also convenient, not far from the highway.

It was very comfortable and refreshing when I entered the hall. The room was also very comfortable, although not very complete. Very clean, good and cheap, very satisfied, often go in the future, it is worth a little more distance.

I really wanted to give this hotel an excellent review and was planning to until we went down to breakfast. We came to this hotel after leaving another close hotel we had planned to stay at. We were pleasantly greeted by the woman at the counter and the hotel looked and smelled very nice. I didn't get the woman's name but she was very helpful and really went over and above to make us feel very welcome and well taken care of. Would have liked the pool to be open longer than 9. (this is the reason we didn't make reservations at this hotel when planning out trip. We had called, and when we heard the pool closed at 9 we went elsewhere. BUT we still ended up at this one) Beds were great and room was clean and quiet. Breakfast looked like it WAS spectacular. But only if you got there early apparently. We went down with half hour left of ”breakfast time”. Everything was gone and nothing was refilled. Empty bowls, drink pitchers, hot trays, etc. The kitchen staff was in the kitchen and did not make an appearance on their own at all. A few people asked them for things and when asked they obliged but only would refill what was asked of them. It did not seem that the problem was running out of items because they opened a bag of eggs upon request from a guest and made another pitcher of apple juice for another guest. Kitchen staff were not helpful or courteous at all and should have been out there refilling and cleaning as most other hotels do. Food was all over the floors and tables were not wiped ever. The beautiful unique dining area was trashed and staff did nothing. As the ending time for breakfast approached the staff was watching their clocks and the second the time changed they came out finally just to close the doors to the food. There were still guests sitting and eating at this time but the doors closed quickly with no notice. As soon as the doors closed it was obvious what the staff's mind was really on. Not helping guests but feeding themselves. Many staff members starting swarming in to eat. Suddenly it seemed there was food for all. But unfortunately not for the guests who were there in plenty of time to actually eat breakfast during the ”breakfast time”. I am really hoping that what we experienced was just an off day with rude staff who didn't want to serve their guests and that hopefully it is normally a very good breakfast. What could have been a great stay was ruined by the lazy rude staff at breakfast.

This hotel has the best Front Desk staff. Since I stay here for work, my schedule often changes. When I take my shifting schedule to the desk, they earnestly attempt to accommodate my early arrival, my early departure, etc. They cannot always work it out for me, but they try. The effort is appreciated! The rooms are clean and never disappoint.

We’ve stayed here for business twice and this is the second time. The rooms are clean and the staff are mostly friendly. Reason for the low rating is the walls are thin and can hear your neighbors very well. Also when we were here the first visit I mentioned to the staff about the washing machines in the guest laundry were covered with detergent and stunk they said they would clean them, this stay we had to use guest laundry and it hadn’t been touched. Mentioned it to front desk and said let me see if there is a laundromat close. I told him why would I want to do that when the hotel offered guest laundry. I ended up cleaning one of the washers out so we could use it. Will choose somewhere else to stay for the coming weeks because the thin walls and guest laundry issue.
