Bring your own food.

Restaurant was severely overpriced. If prices were reasonable, there probably would have been more than three tables occupied at the time I dined there. And why no room service?? It’s one of the things myself and other travelers look for when choosing accommodations.

The property was lovely! I didn’t care for the only restaurant that was open, and there was not a microwave in room. Only complaint, everything else was lovely! Will definitely stay here next time in Louisville.

Beautiful hotel with friendly staff! The Derby-themed rooms are incredible and the walls are like works of art. I could not have enjoyed my stay more, with impeccable cleanliness, a comfortable bed and eco-friendly, quality amenities.
