My stay at the 21C Museum Hotel Louisville was a mix of good experiences and some areas for improvement. The art-infused atmosphere and attentive service from the valet and bar staff were highlights, yet the front desk staff's indifference was disappointing. I loved the hotel's location and the room's unique design, but the noise levels from neighboring rooms were intrusive at times.
