• The Seelbach is a beautiful historic hotel. I loved the decor and the beautiful furnishings.
• We were put in a very small room with an inferior view. There wasn't enought light in the room. The shelf in the bathroom wasn't level .

“The room was large enough only for a Queen bed and little else. The bathroom had no place to put toiletries and the shelf slanted down causing all objects to slide off to the floor (or in the toilet).”

• very chi-chi
• noise outside until 4 a.m.

“The Seelbach is a Lousiville tradition that lives up to its reputation. From the decor through the bar, it reeks elegance. Its location next to the new Fourth Street Live night-life district (formerly the Galleria) could not be more convenient (although we were plagued by the noise of Fourth Street partiers until 4 a.m. one Saturday night.) ”

• Our bathroom was huge & the staff was very helpful.
• There was no in-room coffee maker or free continental buffet.

“We really did enjoy our stay. The staff was wonderful ~ especially the valet staff. They gave us great restaurant recommendations each night. However, I really do wish there had been an in-room coffee maker or a free continental buffet (with coffee). That's one little perk I guess I've just come to expect from any hotel, especially an upper-scale one. I think I had a caffine-withdrawal headache by the time we made it to the hotel cafe!! :o) Overall, aside from the beautiful artwork & the atmosphere, there wasn't really anything to set the Seelbach apart from any other less-espensive hotel. Yes, the atmosphere was nice, but, I would expect a 4-star hotel to have more perks, not more art... ”

• The location was perfect! There was an extremely fancy restaurant in the hotel. And across the street was all the dancing a person could stand.
• The rooms were kind of small, but full of character an historic charm.

“If you want to live like a king or treat someone special like queen, this is the place for you. Perfect for a weekend get-away any time of the year. Louisville has it all: River-esque, theme park, and night life, plus within 20 minutes of upscale casino.”

“The Seelbach Hilton is a very impressive facility and appeared to also have nice meeting space. The room we stayed in was very small though, and had we been staying more than one night, it would have been a problem. The location was good. Parking is way too expensive.”

• Beautiful historic building.
• Had to pay for second cup of coffee.

“The Seelbach is a wonderful historic hotel and was a great place to stay for a weekend. The rooms are small (remember--it's an old building) for a 4-star hotel, but they are very well- appointed. T he jazz band in the Seelbach Bar made the experience. There's a small coffee pot with a two cup bag of John Conti coffee in the room, but if you are a real coffee drinker, you'll have to pay for seconds.”

• People were extremely friendly; location was great, and the food was good.
• Room was too small, but clean. Needs new pillows.

“I've already recommended it. The location is great, and the old style is a classic. Loved the bar and lobby. Only the room could have been bigger and a little updated. Old pillows, and the bathroom needs a little maintenance. Caulk is falling out around tub, etc. Overall a very good hotel. The help was always overly nice.”

• Quaint atmosphere with a terrific location.
• A bit overpriced for what you are getting. Especially the parking - it is outrageous to have to pay $12 a night just to park next to a hotel.

“I enjoyed staying at the hotel. Our first night was in a junior suite. It was very spacious with a beautiful marble sink in the restroom. The beds were a little squeaky and you could feel the springs through the mattress. The regular room was a bit on the cramped side. It was nice having a Starbucks at the corner of the hotel.”

• very ornate lobby
• very small noisy room with cold water-definitely not a 5 star hotel

“I was very disappointed with this room. The hotel is very old and classy which much allow it to pass as a 5 star hotel. The room was extremely small. It had a relatively small bed with no more than 3 to 5 feet surrounding the bed. The T.V. was oddly positioned within the room. You couldn't walk around the bed with the amoire's doors open. The water was cold. The sink never did warm up. It took forever for the shower to warm up enough to get under.”

“The Seelbach is a beautiful, historic hotel right in the heart of downtown Louisville. Literally a one-minute walk away from the Fourth Street Live entertainment district with the Hard Rock Cafe, Borders bookstore and numerous restaurants and bars, the hotel is perfect for a weekend getaway. Hotel staff was courteous and knowledgeable about the area. The gift shop was open late and the hotel bar was fun and well-stocked.”

“The Seelbach is Historic to Louisville and has a beautiful interior. The room was adequate but LOUD. I was very disappointed in the noise from "4th street live" (a large indoor/outdoor restaurant/bar/entertainment area located adjacent on 4th street) that was loud in my room, even after 3 am. I suspect that this is an occurrence every weekend, so I would recommend trying to stay on the BACK side of the hotel because of the noise.”
