The valet link that was texted to us didn’t work, but we just called down to the front desk. The only suggestion I would make is to have the downstairs bar stay open later on the weekends and events. We were looking forward to a drink at the hotel after the concert, but it closed at 10.

The hotel was beautiful and was everything we expected. I wasn’t thrilled with the price of the valet or the kitchen being closed early because the oven died. Aside from those two things, it was great!

Great quality hotel, downtown

The beds are super comfortable and the showers are huge and high quality. I was slightly worried that having a street-view room would be noisy but Louisville was quiet even on a Friday night Hotel is very high quality My only downside is lack of parking, having to walk a couple times of blocks in a micro-storm put a literal dampener on the start of the weekend. Normally wouldn’t be an issue but when it rains it pours

The area is in a busy location, and the valet parking is not actually valet parking. You have to park and walk inside to notify someone of parking. In the South where we are from, this is not concerned "valet parking". Especially if you are charged $60.00 per day to use, plus tips. The staff was also letting people park in the valet drop off areas, to walk inside the local coffee shops. Meaning when you returned, you had no area to park your returned vehicle. The room air conditioner doesn't ever seem to cool off. The thermostat in the room was set to 69, and never fall below 75 degrees.

Great Hotel, will return.

We had a great stay at The Grady. The room was comfortable and clean. I actually forgot my expensive custom pillow and they were kind enough to ship it back to me. I docked it one star because water pooled on the bathroom really badly, even though we were careful and used the bath mat. Other than that it was excellent.
