Our room was clean and vibrant. Love all the fun colors and style. Parking was super convenient and easy. The place is connected to the Atomic Club so you will definitely hear the music outside on the weekends at night. So if you’re there to go out on Bardstown then this place is super convenient. But if you’re looking for something quieter this place probably isn’t for you.

I really wanted to love this hotel because the location is perfect for me and the price point is exceptional for Louisville. Also, the bed is super comfortable and clean. The major issues I had were the cleanliness of the bathroom (hair and dirt on the floor) and the rug in the room needs to be cleaned or tossed, and there isn't much soundproofing so there was a fair amount of noise through the night. I would definitely not recommend for a weekend night and I'm still on the fence whether I will stay here again.

Easy access to the room with a personal door code. Nice room, very vibrant and clean. Nice seating area just outside of room outdoors in front of the room as well as balcony area. Very good sized TV with plenty of apps for a variety of choices. Plenty of amenities in the area. Only downside is the room was advertised with a mini fridge but it did not have one.

Great choice! I would highly recommend this hotel option for anybody that wants to experience Louisville, from more of a local perspective. This is not your typical touristy spot. This is a great location for assimilating. With the community in the heart of old Louisville and a great district that seems to be thriving in cleanliness and walkable opportunities for people to get from one establishment to another great atmosphere. Love is abounding here

Can’t really say enough how much we enjoyed our stay! The room was clean and seemed to be newly renovated; the color scheme and the atmosphere as a whole really set it off. Like someone had mentioned before, we didn’t get a mini fridge as advertised but,

This is by far one of the best hotel experiences I have ever had in my life. I have been traveling around the United States for 30 plus years. And have never had a hotel with a code to get into the room. Instead of a front staff and I feel like this concept is revolutionary. And should be adapted widely amongst hotels in the future. It is a great concept. And i'm thankful for hotel hilo. There are plenty of walking points within very, very close range and a friendly neighborhood.Environment around. This seems to be a hidden gem.Check it out for yourself!

Room was clean. Shower pressure was great. Bed comfortable. Close to many spots in the area. Walkable. The only downfall for us was... It’s adjacent to a night club which played music so loudly until about 4am. If we were 20 years younger probably would have been great. But at 50 and driving 6 hours to get there all we wanted was a nice night of sleep.
Courtyard adjacent to hotel and nightclub. Literally two steps out of our door

The room and property was super cute and clean!! The locks for the doors were not the easiest to work and there was no staff to ask about them. It said there was parking available behind but if you leave once the club in front opens you lose that parking and have to park several blocks away. The club stays open and bumping until about 3-4am and the rooms are essentially part of the club as the yard of the rooms is the club. This makes it very hard to sleep since the rooms are made out of storage containers with not much sound barrier. Perfect place for young club goers to stay but not for those who like to sleep at night. Also, we had people at our front door fighting at about 2am. But like I said to begin with…maybe one of the cutest places I’ve ever stayed.

The room was very comfortable and in a wonderful neighborhood with lots of restaurants and a safe walkable neifhborhood. The fridge was convenient but be aware there is no coffee pot, microwave, or hair dryer. Check-in worked great, no problems whatsoever. I was there during the week so the bar was closed and it was very quiet, but I can imagine it's noisy on the weekends. Would definitely stay here again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room that we were put in first had a broken bed frame that caused the bed to sag terribly in the middle so we informed them and they moved us to the room next door. Then we got into the 2nd room and the A/C didn't work. It was a heat index of 110 outside that day. We then informed them that the A/C didn't work and was told that they could refund us but we would have to leave the property and find another place to stay or just ride it out. Only slept a few hours and woke up sweating. We will not be back although we make frequent trips to Louisville and would have been repeat guests.

Woke up at 1:30am to a stranger in my room. He had an older access code that still worked. The phone number on Expedia for this hotel is for a random business and not affiliated with the hotel. The 24/7 text line stopped responding after I asked for hotel support/refund. Please do not stay here.
