It’s a lovely old hotel, very clean and quiet. The bar was half closed every night so we could not sit and have a drink at the end of the day, seems odd on Kentucky Derby week that you would not have everything open and running at full capacity. Not much in the area for bars or patios or restaurants that you can walk to. We had to drive to other areas and pay for parking.

Beautiful Historic hotel, with gorgeous architecture. Our room and bathroom were spacious, and the bed was very comfortable. The restaurant in the lobby had excellent food and service- home of the “Hot Brown”, which I highly recommend! My husband and I felt the shuttle service offered by the hotel was exceptional. We utilized it to get to our dinner reservations, and for airport transfers. Every single staff member was amazingly friendly and helpful! Will definitely stay again when we return to Louisville

The hotel is nostalgic and well-kept. Loved the atmosphere, especially as the night ends. The bar gets packed. It's vibrant. Rooms are small but very clean and keeps the vibe of the hotel. The area around the hotel is just ok. Not much to do, had to drive a few minutes away to get to other dining/bars/nightlife. Otherwise it's perfect.
