Bed and breakfast was clean, comfortable, convenient. We enjoyed our stay. Breakfasts were unique and most delicious. Staff was accommodating and helpful. Also very nice to be able to park right in front of the B&B on the street. Met some nice fellow travelers as well.
Great place to stay, the Inn was beautiful, the Inn keeper was very friendly and helpful. The room was very nice and clean. Breakfast was fabulous. We highly recommend staying here , we will definitely stay there again. Plus its close to downtown.
My partner and I do regular romantic staycations at Central Park Inn and we love it. The rooms are comfortable and unique and the staff we've met are lovely.
Our stay here was excellent in every way! The owners were very sweet and went out of their way to assist us in every way, the rooms were very cozy, and the breakfasts were fantastic. This is the best B&B we've ever stayed.

Loved this place. Large room and bathroom. Nice linens. Beautiful historic home!
What a grand experience! The house was beautiful! Annette was our host, she made us feel right at home. The breakfast was delicious! Location was perfect for visiting the local distilleries! We will be back….
Our stay was so amazing! We highly recommend and plan on returning in the future. They have such helpful and attentive hosts. This was my first time staying in a bed and breakfast and Annette was so kind and went above and beyond going over what my stay would be like and sending details. Also the breakfast service is amazing, the hashbrown casserole with an indian twist was the best I've ever had and the peach souffle had delicious fresh peaches!
Breakfast was different, good. Rm. Rose Garden.
Prefer bacon crisp.
Love sweet potato soup!
Place was clean, noticed debris between coffee table and sofa. Vacuum rug thoroughly. Sofa is old but cushions
could be refilled to provide better support.
Really enjoyed the place…4 poster bed was fun, lots of history in a beautiful part of Louisville - right opposite Central Park. Breakfast was outstanding! Would stay again.

Well located B&B in old Louisville. Rooms were clean and well equipped. Breakfast each morning was a culinary treat! Truly delicious food. Annette, our Innkeeper, was absolutely delightful. She was helpful and informative. The carpet in 3rd floor bedrooms are overdue for replacement. But it is a charming property. We also had James working at the inn during our stay, and he was very helpful as well. Staff that we interacted with were outstanding.
The house was beautiful; well taken care of and decorated for the time period. Susan, the innkeeper, was very personable, informative, and generally made us feel right at home.
Such a lovely building, clearly loved by all who work there. Information about the property, check-in procedure, etc. was communicated very clearly before my arrival.
Fresh lemon blueberry scones were there for a snack when I arrived near midnight. Wow.
When booking, I didn’t think about the lack of elevator at this property. My 68 year old knees did complain a little when climbing the external & interior stairs with my luggage.

Both Grace on our first evening and Thomas on our last morning made us feel like guests, not customers. The room was lovely, but as I discussed with Thomas, for our next visit I will request a walk in shower for my knees. And I plan on staying there again. They took special care of me at breakfast and it was wonderful.
