Quiet boutique hotel on historic street in Louisville.
Pros:

Good location for walking to Yum center for event and walking back late at night. Small boutique hotel , only 51 rooms, nice lobby spaces. Quiet hotel with interesting history. Nicely renovated and rooms are small but very adequate. Bathrooms nice. Valet service was great also with friendly good valet drivers to park car.

Cons:

Coffee maker in room is a hot water device with instant coffee. No complimentary coffee in lobby or restaurant. No real hospitality vibes from “front desk” but that’s ok. Room 503 is cold, likely to windows in this historic space.

Pros:

Decor, location.

Cons:

We were given a room facing the main St and could not rest or sleep at all due to the constant traffic noise alsoTossed and turned due to the uncomfortable bed. Cob webs on light fixture over bed. Not enough hanging storage for clothing.

Pros:

We really liked the ambience.

Cons:

The bed had a huge divot, sheets where loud. Our room faced 6th street and there was a metal plate in the road. Any time a car drove over it, it was extremely loud and would wake us. The shower was really cool but there was not a seal so water would lesk all over the floor.
