"The place was understaffed to the point of not functioning. The staff that was there were great, but they were all working like 12 hour days. We'd see the same staff at night as we saw in the morning. Parking was expensive or otherwise non-existent. But it was one of the most inexpensive hotels in the downtown area. We were six blocks south of Main Street, which is where the distilleries are and things like the Louisville Slugger factory and store. Six blocks sound easy in the morning, but after a whole day it was Ubers back. Breakfast was great. It was optional, but it was cooked to order from a small but good menu."
