This was poorly managed
Pros:

The location in conjunction to the venue that I was attending a concert at was absolutely phenomenal

Cons:

I went down for breakfast the following morning, and there was no differentiation between free versus paid assuming that this was a à la carte breakfast that was included and the person in charge of this particular breakfast did not mention the $25 charge plus the additional orange juice charge was not mentioned until after we got our food and there was no signage indicating this either.

Another issue is, we arrived prior to the end time of breakfast and we were rushed so badly, but we barely had time to eat anything that we were being charged for and they started tearing down the food

Great Breakfast Experience
Pros:

Marnita was absolutely wonderful when our family of 20 decided to show up for breakfast unplanned the morning after our cousins wedding. She rolled with it and kept a smile on her face despite the fact that we thought it was a buffet and showed up half am hour before closing. The food was delicious and the service was quick and courteous.

Location!
Pros:

Perfect location if going to a show at the Mercury Ballroom or hitting 4th St Live. I enjoyed a pre-concert drink on the rooftop as the sun was setting which was so nice! Some great music was playing as well so it definitely set the mood. Rene at the front desk went above and beyond to rectify a problem with my reservation (it was a 3rd party company's fault, not Hilton), and she remained courteous and committed to helping me! Kudos to her!!

Do not stay here
Pros:

Worst hotel experience of a month long trip. Front desk girl was so rude it was ridiculous. On check in nothing was explained. No advising where the lift was or when breakfast was or where it was. Had to come down in the morning and ask for directions. Lucky for us on check out we experienced the same girl. Too busy sipping her drink or texting to check us out properly. Took the key and just sat there silently. When I asked if I would get a receipt she just answered with “it will be emaile”. No thanks for staying or have a nice day, just back to drinking. Tried to get her name but she had no badge.
Breakfast was a total rip off. $40 for cold coffee and the hot food was cold as well. The whole Bain Marie was turned off before breakfast had even finished.
Pick another hotel in Louisville as this one ruined my whole opinion of the city and I dont wish to return.

Decent but over priced
Pros:

LOCATION! It's about 350 feet from the Palace theater! The room was clean , stocked and the ac unit is amazing ❄️. The gym is pretty nice and the night was pretty peaceful and no disruption at all. The roof top bar is amazing. The view is spectacular!

Cons:

The coffee machine in our room did not work at all. I tried plugging it in a different outlet, filled it with water and pressed the power button at different times. It wouldn't even come on.
The shower leaks from the water valve. Water literally comes out of the wall which is concerning and I told them at the front desk.
My third complaint is that , for what it is, this hotel is very expensive. Our room was a double bed and $236 for one night. This hotel has no pool, and the PARKING IS A NIGHTMARE . Yes they have valet available. It's also 45$ for it. And the parking garage costs$ 22 to stay overnight. There is also a 50$ fee you have to pay upon check in even if your room is paid in full- this is supposed to be refundable but we will see. This should be disclosed more readily before booking.
