Hotels near Louisville Zoo, Louisville

This hotel is clean comfortable and even attractive and restful. Check in was perfect with great staff. After driving from Massachusetts I was ready for this and so happy. I will definitely stay here. I'm here for the world championship horse show so have lots of gear.

I stayed with my fiancé as a getaway to some health issues he had earlier this summer and for a change of scenery. Beautiful exterior and lobby. It appears they have either local or vintage art throughout. The rooftop bar and resteraunt had a great ambiance and beautiful views of the city. We enjoyed the happy hour and other small bites and the food was fantastic. Based on these things, I expected the rooms to match the charm. I was so disappointed however that they didn’t. There’s room for improvement as far as some additional art decor in the room and the lighting is terrible. In the evening, the dim lights make you feel claustrophobic and a little like you’re in prison (eek!). The beds were comfortable and pillows were great, so a few changes could really turn things around. I think the biggest issue this hotel will face in the long term is upkeep and cleanliness. For being only opened a year, it’s starting to feel run down. There are chip and loss of paint on the walls, and the carpets have stains throughout. I’d fire the manager and hire a new director of housekeeping. In the bar upstairs, one of the lounge benches was missing about a yard of fabric and was shredded so badly it was embarrassing. You could see the foam. The showers have a half of a door, so water easily can make the bathroom floors wet. I’m wondering if this is causing water damage, since on the ceilings is appears that it may be. Also, they don’t accept all major credit cards, which their website didn’t indicate. When I checked in, they shared that their system is “finicky” with Discover card. They were nice enough to extend a 50 dollar credit for the hassle, however. Overall, If you’re in town, come for a drink or dinner, but stay at the Omni or a Marriot.

Carpet in the halls had stains, I smelled **** in the hallway, I told the front desk clerk & she said that she was going to tell housekeeping to spary. This is a smoke free hotel, she never left the desk to see where the smell was coming from. We put our bags in the room & went out for about two hours, came back and still smelled **** in the hallway. We decided that we would just go to bed & check out early and leave, about 11:00 fireworks went off until a little after midnight. I told the front desk that we where going to check out early, she said that as long as we left before check out time , there should be no problem with not paying fr the second night. Well I am still having to pay for the night , that I was no longer in the state. So if you don't mind stains on the floor, paying to park your car in their parking lot, and hearing fireworks until midnight, I would not recommend this place. Run fast !!!!

Nice hotel has food and drinks in hotel. Staff could be more friendly; some are but a few are not. No micro-wave in room which disappoints especially for the price you pay, even cheap best westerns have micro-waves. Location is ok but have to walk several blocks to get to the heart of bars and food, this is a lil scary at night with the high crime rate of the city and many homeless folks everywhere. Came mostly to do the bourbon tours which was great. Watch what they charge you when you get there it will be more than what was quoted to you if you book online ahead, kinda deceiving.

Travel here for business regularly and the hotel is in the perfect location... walking distance to restaurant/bars and attractions (walked to Louisville Slugger Museum on this trip), clean and spacious rooms... good bar! I enjoy this hotel and would highly recommend for business or pleasure!

The hotel is beautiful and in a good location on 4th Street. Multiple restaurants and bars to eat but be sure to set reservations. The beds were comfortable but the sheets were very stiff and there was no thick comforter. Parking can be a little confusing, more signage needs to be visible because of valet and everything else the parking garages are hard to see. We had a larger vehicle and had to use a different parking garage, and due to all the valet in the front part you couldn't see where that parking garage was therefore we ended up parking in public parking garage down the road. Hotel staff was good about this and refunded us for the hotel parking so we was not double charged. One thing that I noticed that would be a big help to visitors is more signage within the hotel and parking garage. The hotel is very large and all the floors look the same so you can get quite turned around with which Tower you're going to or where the restaurants are located. For example, it would be good to have some signage inside the elevators so that you know which floors have access to which restaurants/skywalk. Would definitely recommend this hotel and will be staying here again.

During our recent stay at 21c Museum Hotel in Louisville, we had some positive experiences but also encountered significant issues that completely marred our visit. On the positive side, the food and cocktails at Proof on Main were fantastic. The staff at the restaurant as well as the the friendly doormen, contributed positively to our stay. We also appreciated the art gallery, a highlight from our previous visit, which once again added a unique touch to our experience. Our room was clean and spacious with a comfortable bed, meeting our expectations. However, upon checking in, we discovered that the perks we were entitled to through our booking with a travel advisor, such as breakfast, property credit, and room upgrade, were not initially applied. The front desk eventually resolved these issues by providing breakfast vouchers and confirming our upgrade, though the lack of initial acknowledgment was disconcerting. Additionally, when we checked out, the property credit was not applied which added our frustration after the experiencing the peculiar situation below. Unfortunately, a troubling incident involving my missing purse from our hotel room overshadowed our stay. Despite our assurances that it was likely taken by accident with the linens, the hotel's handling of the situation was extremely poor. We spent considerable time dealing with the front desk, cancelling credit cards, and worrying about the lost purse, which significantly affected our trip. Although the purse was eventually returned, the staff's reluctance to take responsibility and the persistent issues with our booking perks left us with a negative impression of the 21c Hotel brand. Over a week later, I still have not received a response from management about our experience. We will not be back nor will we recommend 21C to others.

I was traveling back from a work related conference in which I brought my wife and pet along. I knew the drive home from the conference was too long to make in a single day, so I decided to book a room partway home. I have been a HHonors Diamond member for more than 20 years, so I am very loyal to Hilton properties. The Hampton Inn New Albany Louisville West seemed like the right place to stop, but I could have choosen to stop a little earlier in my drive, or drive just a little further. But I choose this particular hotel because they listed having a $50 pet fee. Some Hilton properties charge a $50 pet fee while others charge $75, so I was careful to choose a property with a lower pet fee. I booked the room, noted online that I had a pet, and followed through with my stay. Because Hilton has a great iPhone app, I checked out using my phone, and later that day I was surprised to see on my emailed receipt I was charged a $75 pet fee. I’ve followed up three times with management to get a refund of $25, and I’m now being told regardless of what is listed on their website, the pet fee is $75. On my third call to dispute the charge the staff person had the nerve to say I should have called to verify the pet fee. This made me furious!! Frankly, I’m tired of being given the runaround. I finally called the main corporate number and filed a claim. While on the phone with corporate they verified their website STILL says their pet fee is $50. I don’t have any complaints at all with the room. It’s a nice property, consistent with other Hampton Inns. The staff was fine, the breakfast was actually a little better than most. But management at this property has the poor judgement to deny one of their most valued customers a refund of $25 they are obligated to pay. I shouldn’t have to make 4 calls to fix this. Making matters worse, almost a month later they still advertise a $50 pet fee!!! I’m headed back to Louisville in 2 weeks and will be staying overnight very near this hotel. Needless to say, I’ll make a point to never stay at this property again.
