The staff was excellent from the front desk to the housekeepers, everyone had a smile on their face and were willing to help. Parking was safe and easy. Breakfast had all the offerings. Only negative would be we didn’t see many/if any food options within walking distance. Though the hotel did have a restaurant, however we didn’t eat there.

Very cute little place. Rooms are small, but that was just our hanging spot when we weren’t out doing bourbon tours and enjoying the local restaurants. The lobby with all its leather couches, fireplace, and tables and chairs is very welcoming. A lot nicer than the high-end stuffy hotels that don’t feel like you can just kick your feet up and relax. We would definitely stay here again.

Great place to stay in the heart of Louisville downtown. Easy walk to restaurants and downtown venues. The staff was so friendly and called us after we checked out to let us know we left something in our room. They promptly mailed the items back. The breakfast really was a full breakfast and delicious. Will be staying there again if I find myself back in Louisville.
