Downtown Louisville

Travelocity Top Secret Hotels rocks...seriously, it's amazing.

Dusty and I are officially hooked.

We have been known to just get the bottom of the line deals on there, which usually results in us staying at some old Days Inn, Econolodge, Microtel, etc...and it's not usually in the best part of town...

Well, recently we decided to splurge while we were in Louisville and Nashville...we were driving back to Orange Beach from our trip to South Dakota/North Dakota. 

We went ahead and upgraded to the $75 (with taxes) 4 star hotel in downtown Louisville.  I know it doesn't sound like much of an upgrade, but we were used to booking the $45 (with taxes) rooms in the past.

Anyways, we could not believe what we managed to get for $75.

P.S. We wanted to stay in downtown Louisville because we were hitting up a free Steel Magnolia concert that was downtown Louisville - it was at Fourth Street Live, where they have a free concert every week...how cool is that?

Remember how we only paid 75 dollars?

Well, here are some exciting things about our room/experience at the hotel:

• We had two doors from the hallway - one leading to the bedroom, the other to the living room.
• After being in our room for a little bit, we received a phone call making sure everything was going well and to see if we needed anything.
• Our room had two bathrooms.
• We had a balcony overlooking the Ohio river.
•  We were a 5 minute walk to the concert.
• Location was perfect - in the heart of downtown.
• Staff was friendly and eager to make our experience memorable.

One more exciting tidbit - I looked the room up online directly on the hotel's website and they charge $225/night before taxes.

The room was a little dated, but we weren't complaining...I think I was just so excited because in comparison to the hotels we have been staying at, this place was amazing.

I secretly wanted to take a ride on this...

Fourth Street Live was where the concert was held - it was a really neat area...so cool.

Thanks to mom for telling us about this concert since she knew we would be staying in Louisville - good work!

The concert was so much fun.  We had a great time in Louisville - my first time in Kentucky and I would definitely be up for going again :)
