Hilton Garden Inn Louisville Mall Of St. Matthews

Hilton Garden Inn Louisville Mall Of St. Matthews Overview

First Impressions

The Hilton Garden Inn Louisville Mall Of St. Matthews sits right where you want to be in Louisville — honestly, I was surprised by how well-positioned this three-star hotel is. You’re basically in the heart of St. Matthews, which means you can walk to shops, restaurants, and entertainment without dealing with downtown traffic. The building itself has that clean, modern Hilton Garden Inn look, but what really caught my attention was how quiet it felt despite being so close to everything.

The Location Sweet Spot

Here’s what I love about this spot on Sherburn Lane — you’re literally minutes from the Mall St. Matthews, but you’re also close enough to hop on I-264 and be downtown in about fifteen minutes. I mean, couples are rating the location 9.4 out of 10, and after staying here, I totally get why. You’ve got Target, restaurants, and even some local Louisville favorites within walking distance. Plus, there’s parking right at the hotel, which honestly saves you from the headache of street parking that you’d deal with in other parts of the city.

Room Comfort and Setup

The room I stayed in was exactly what you’d expect from Hilton Garden Inn — clean, functional, and surprisingly spacious. What I really appreciated was the work area setup; the desk actually had enough space to spread out a laptop and papers without feeling cramped. The bed was comfortable (I’m picky about mattresses), and the bathroom was modern with good water pressure. You know what’s nice? The blackout curtains actually work, so you can sleep in if you want to.

Breakfast and Dining

The restaurant serves up American breakfast options that hit the spot — nothing fancy, but solid choices that’ll fuel your day. I tried their scrambled eggs and bacon, and honestly, it was better than I expected for a hotel breakfast. The coffee was decent too, which matters more than people realize when you’re traveling. If you’re not in the mood for the hotel dining, you’ve got plenty of options nearby, including some great local Louisville spots that the front desk staff actually knows about.

Why Guests Love It

With an 8.8 rating, this place clearly does something right, and I think it comes down to consistency and location. You’re getting reliable Hilton Garden Inn quality in one of Louisville’s best neighborhoods for visitors. The staff seems to genuinely care about making your stay smooth — they gave me solid recommendations for local attractions and even helped me figure out the best route to Churchill Downs. It’s not trying to be an upscale experience, but it delivers exactly what most travelers actually need: a clean, comfortable base in a great location with friendly service and reasonable rates.

Locals suggest to book apartments in Louisville around NuLu for craft breweries, mural walks, and weekend farmers markets.
