Funky old hotel in good, walkable neighborhood. Good breakfast/lunch cafe. No elevator, no onsite parking, room ok, nothing special. A bit pricey,

The Pfister Hotel
Perfect stay at an iconic hotel. Having a drink in the 23rd floor lounge is an absolute must. Staff is polished and professional. Hope to stay there again.

The Iron Horse Hotel
This hotel hosts an event during the weekend of the Kentucky Derby. Unless you are attending the event- I would avoid the hotel during this weekend. Many hotel amenities are adjusted to cater to those participating in the Derby event- it’s not beneficial for guests who are not.
