Hotwire Hotel: 4* Louisville (Downtown) Galt House

[Lloyd A. de Vries]

I'm attending a stamp collecting show in Louisville at the Kentucky International Convention Center, 221 South Fourth Street. I can get a "show" rate of $125 for the Hyatt Regency, which is connected to the convention center. But Hotwire has a 4* hotel for $76, with these amenities:

airport shuttle

Pool(s)

Spa Services

Smoke Free Rooms

Restaurant(s)

Accessible for the blind

Fitness Center

Business Center

Accessible for the deaf

Reading past messages here, it appears that might be either the Hyatt or the Galt House about two blocks away. I'd prefer the Hyatt, but I also wouldn't mind saving $49 a night!

But I have to be within walking distance of the convention center. I don't want to spend the money I've saved on cab fare.

Forgot the dates: checking in January 16th, out on the 20th.

What do you think? Thanks.

The Galt House would be my best guess for this one.

NOTE: i wouldn't count on the Airport Shuttle amenity listed as being a complimentary service, if you were looking at this property on account of this amenity. It may be a shared shuttle service that has an additional fee. If you're considering this property due to the Shuttle i would investigate before purchasing... of course if you're not relying on the hotel's Shuttle then you can ignore the previous comments. ;)

Thanks. I'll use your HOTWIRE link when I get everything lined up -- my wife's college roommate is coming up from Nashville, and I need to ask if she wants me to book a room for her at the same time. Galt House appears a little closer to some of the sightseeing attractions than the Hyatt and has a "spa" that might interest my wife while I'm at the stamp show, but the Hyatt has an enclosed walkway to the convention center. So either one will be fine.

I saw that the "airport shuttle amenity" at Galt House just meant they are steering guests to a shuttle company. <_< I do use shuttles, because I don't often rent cars within cities, but I'll check what else is available first. (With two people, a cab might be cheaper.)

If anyone here has suggestions for attractions that we might not pick up from the AAA tourbook or other guides, please let me know. Thanks again.

Yes, it was the Galt House, and I have booked the hotel using BetterBidding's HOTWIRE link. Thanks for your help.
