Hampton Inns are part of the Hilton brand. This particular chain is one of Hilton’s largest and most successful midscale hotel lines. They have more than 3,000 locations across over 40 countries worldwide. I recently stayed at the Hampton Inn in downtown Louisville, Kentucky, and, overall, had a good experience. The hotel’s location is convenient. It was also very easy to reach from the highway. It is right in the heart of downtown and within easy walking distance to many restaurants, attractions, and entertainment options like Churchill Downs. Please be careful if walking in the area. Being downtown, it was not the best area and there were several homeless people nearby as we walked to dinner. Also, the drivers are aggressive as I almost got run over as one driver decided to clearly run the red light. There was plenty of parking outside around the hotel. Check-in was quick and smooth, and the front desk staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was clean and comfortable with all the standard hotel amenities (comfortable bed, good shower, and reliable Wi-Fi). While the decor is a bit dated, the room was well-maintained. Breakfast is included, which is always a nice perk. It opened a few minutes late on the morning I departed. I would recommend this location for its solid value and prime location. It is a comfortable, convenient choice in the heart of Louisville.

I stayed in Room 203. While I was in the bathroom, I heard the toilet in the room above me flushed and suddenly my head and back were drenched with toilet water. When I got into the shower to wash it off the shower handle came off in my hand. Clearly the toilet in the room above has been leaking for a while because mold had started to grow on the sagging Sheetrock. I reported the issue to the desk clerk, as I was checking out. She stated that they had no manager on site, but that he would call when he came in. He did leave me a voicemail stating that he was refunding $53.31 to my credit card. Apparently the folks at Hampton Inn Louisville feel that $53.31 is all it’s worth for you getting drenched in sewer water.

Bed was comfy. Air conditioner rattled. Pretty clean. Tub clogged so much I could have taken a bath instead of a shower. Not good. Breakfast was good. Overpriced for what it was.

Very friendly staff. Rooms were nice and clean. Pool was great! Easy to find.

Everything but the food was good
