Baby Blue | Gorgeous Upscale Retreat | Ideal Area

10/10 Excellent

"Property is as advertised. Very clean with a stocked kitchen and in a quiet neighborhood. Easy communication and quick responses from the host."

Four Points by Sheraton Louisville Airport

8/10 Good

"Great job on cleanliness!! Everything was clean, wish breakfast was free but the coffee was good! Both mornings they ran out and had to fill it up numerous times. They needed two coffee warmers or regular. I’m picky about my coffee but they have had some of the best coffee I’ve had at a hotel! Thank you!"

New! Walk to the Kentucky Derby, U of L Football, and Jim Patterson Stadium!

10/10 Excellent

"Felix was a great host! He was very attentive and quick to respond to communication. The home was in a great location. We were able to walk around the Louisville campus. Quick and easy drive to the Expo Center for a basketball tournament. I definitely recommend the Old Louisville Tavern for excellent non-chain food."

Inn at St James Court

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at the Inn at St. James Court was one of the highlights of our trip. Pat is an incredible host who has truly mastered the art of hospitality. From the moment we arrived, she welcomed us like old friends and she loves animals as much as us. She made us feel completely at home in her beautiful home. The inn is warm, comfortable, and full of charm, with thoughtful touches that show how much Pat cares about her guests. Every morning started with a delicious breakfast and wonderful conversation, making the experience feel personal rather than just another place to stay. It was close to the Conrad Caldwell Mansion and the Kentucky Derby. If you're looking for more than just a room—if you want a place where you'll feel genuinely welcomed and cared for—I can't recommend the Inn at St. James Court enough. Thank you, Pat, for your kindness, your hospitality, and for making our visit so memorable. We hope to return again someday!"
