We never had maid service. Always had to ask for towels. Restaurants closed earlier than posted. There was a State inspection of the elevators and the public was still allowed to use them. unfortunately for us, the elevator fell 2 floors. luckily we were ok but pretty shaken. All we got was an apology. The hotel said it wasn't their problem. There should be a policy in place when inspectors are onsite to protect the guests. 

Business response:

Dear Theresa. Please allow me to offer our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience you experienced during your stay with us at Derby City Gaming Hotel. We will share your feedback with our operations team and make improvements to avoid future guest dissatisfaction. We hope for another opportunity to properly host you when travels bring you back to Louisville, KY.

The room was not very clean. They only clean and bring towels if you request them. It was extremely noisy all night long every night that I staid. There was no option to purchase continental breakfast as said on the website. The restaurants have limited hours of operation and if you want breakfast they don't serve until 8am on certain days. The food was not very good. I didn't meet one staff member who acted like they wanted to be there. Very disappointed in my stay. 

Business response:

Dear LeAnn, please allow me to offer my sincerest apologies for failing to exceed your expectations and the inconvenience caused. I have shared your feedback with our Operations team so we can make improvements and avoid future guest dissatisfaction. We hope that you would give us another opportunity to make things right and deliver a great stay experience when travels bring you back to Louisville, KY.

Purchased this hotel through expedia only to show up and find I could not check in with my family. We were in town for Volleyball and were stuck without a room at 9:45 at night. I checked my expedia confirmations and I didn’t see any warning of it being adults only. We had just stayed at MGM, another hotel/casino a few weeks before without kids being an issue. Again, we were not there for the casino, just a clean room! Worse part is I still have not been refunded. Because i didn’t know the policy I didn’t know to cancel 24 h... read more

Arrived, can’t find our reservation. 10 minutes, what’s my name, asks my wife what her last name is to see if it’s in her name. Surrounded by cemeteries, I mean surrounded, planes taking off and walls of cotton, good luck sleeping. Bar, check it, $29 for 2 margaritas to go, in plastic cups, at a casino, in Louisville, who do you think you are? Not worth the day, night or time. If you like sketchy, expensive and no customer service, what I guess Kentucky is known for and I live here. Do better please.

Check in was ok; didn’t offer a WiFi password at all; room was nice HOWEVER during early hours of 2/15/24, hot water went out in the entire hotel and we weren’t advised, had to call front desk and they had no eta on repair; husband had to take a cold shower before going to his uncle’s funeral. Check out never offered us some $ off our bill for the inconvenience and we could never figure out how to convert player card points into $ off room, which was too pricey and no breakfast open in the casino at 8am morning of 2/15/24. T... read more

Business response:

We apologize for the inconvenience of the hot water on 2/15 as our system had control issues. As we are on the cutting-edge technology at times computers can be wonderful and others, they can cause effects such as our water issue you experienced. We have adjusted your folio, and you will need to contact your 3rd party to obtain the refund.
