I enjoyed the historic charm of The Seelbach Hilton, but my overall experience was marred by several issues.

My stay at The Seelbach Hilton was nice due to its rich history and beautiful architecture, but it wasn't without flaws. The location is prime, providing easy access to entertainment, though the room I stayed in was a bit lacking in terms of space and natural light. The service was fantastic, with friendly staff, but the dining experience was average at best.

Rooms

My room was beautifully appointed with historical charm, but I found it small and a bit dark, especially since two windows faced brick walls. The beds were comfortable, however, and I had no trouble sleeping due to its quiet atmosphere.

My stay at The Seelbach Hilton Louisville was a mix of charm and some necessary updates. The location was absolutely ideal for celebrating New Year's Eve downtown, and the beautiful decor added to the festive spirit. However, the rooms felt a bit outdated, and I found some practical issues with the suite layout that could use improvement.
