What an amazing place to stay! Exceptional staff, beautiful hotel, lots to do within walking distance but also convenient access to highway if you want to venture out. My only complaint is the street noise at night. Yikes! Motorcycles and muscle cars were incredibly loud. Take ear plugs.

The valet link that was texted to us didn’t work, but we just called down to the front desk. The only suggestion I would make is to have the downstairs bar stay open later on the weekends and events. We were looking forward to a drink at the hotel after the concert, but it closed at 10.

The hotel was beautiful and was everything we expected. I wasn’t thrilled with the price of the valet or the kitchen being closed early because the oven died. Aside from those two things, it was great!

Great quality hotel, downtown

The beds are super comfortable and the showers are huge and high quality. I was slightly worried that having a street-view room would be noisy but Louisville was quiet even on a Friday night Hotel is very high quality My only downside is lack of parking, having to walk a couple times of blocks in a micro-storm put a literal dampener on the start of the weekend. Normally wouldn’t be an issue but when it rains it pours
