What guests think

Across many reviews of Spark by Hilton Shepherdsville Louisville South, travelers highlight very clean rooms, friendly staff, and a convenient location off I‑65 near restaurants and area stops like Bernheim Forest and the Paroquet Springs conference center.

Breakfast is frequently described as limited (often a bagel-focused continental setup), though a few guests reported more options at times. Facilities feel no-frills: several reviews note periods of renovation, a closed pool, and fewer in-room amenities such as no coffee maker or microwave. Rooms are simple and comfortable for many, but some mention highway or door noise, mixed bed comfort, and occasional maintenance issues. Expect a budget-minded stay with streamlined amenities.

No breakfast anymore No Pool! Very disappointed that they changed ownership we will NOT be staying here ever again! It used to be Sleeps Inn Suites and we loved it because of the accommodations they provided full breakfast & indoor pool. Saturday morning went down for breakfast to be told it’s a bagel bar “plain bagels” then later that day after we went to the funeral we came back and got dressed to go swimming came downstairs to get pool towels from front desk clerk to be told Pool is closed because of having equipment stored in the pool area but pool is up and running but won’t be able to swim till end of summer because of having to store equipment. Very extremely disappointed.

We would not have chosen this hotel if we were told it was under construction/remodeling. Wanted to use the guest laundry but it wasn’t available and neither was the indoor pool. People at check in had never been at that location before and didn’t even know where or if there was a restroom near the lobby. Couldn’t get the heater to blow warm air in the room so slept in our clothes and coats. Very disappointed as it was a Hilton hotel.

Spark is NOT the "Normal" Hilton, but don't be afraid. At first glance, you'll be confused. No microwave in the room, but a communual one in the lobby. No ice buckets, but they are next to the ice machines on opposite floors. A great room with a small fridge, plenty of comfort, and just what' you need. Breakfast is edible: It's a bagel and "schmeer" bar with juice, oatmeal, and some very good coffee. Oh, and yogurt. Now, it would be nice if they had kettles in the rooms so we could get hot water. Beyond that, what's missing is the stuff we normally walk buy in a budget hotel, and the higher Hilton Price. Yep, there's your hook. This is truly a high quality BUDGET hotel with the HILTON GUARENTEE. If you want the full service, breakfast and the stuff in your room, there are plenty of Hiltons you can choose from at the higher price. But if you like the BW, Choice, and simlar budget choices but don't find them consistent, Spark may be the brand you've been looking for. So, while I was perplexed by the hotel initially, the staff was patient and clearly understood the value of their brand. There aren't many out there yet. In fact, this is the first one in KY. This specific hotel was absolutely fantastic and I'd recommend it. Because it's a Hilton, it's also going to be like the others. No frills, "Give you what you need", at a budget price with consistency. Do you need anything more?

Nice hotel - clean and new. Loss of two stars due to their excessive standard pet charge of $75 for one night. For that much, he should get his own bed!

Hotel is going through remodeling so I understand the mess but very strong paint odors in the rooms. Breakfast shouldn’t even be offered or advertised due to all they offer is bagels.

first, the motel was being renovated on the first floor so all the amenities as pictured in the ads were unavailable. They offered a reduction in the bill but there is no way to claim that through Expedia as they had already been paid. Second, there were some sort of bugs in the bed. After the two day stay, on the drive home, I developed over 60 welts from bug bites everywhere my skin was uncovered while sleeping. The hotel said they checked the room, found nothing in the bed where I slept, but exterminated anyway. There was nowhere else I would have got into anything and I was an idiot for not checking when I got there. Lesson Learned. My stay was February 23 & 24, 2024

It was just okay. The floor in our room was disgusting and stained, and there were hairs in the bathroom. Breakfast was excellent and kids enjoyed the pool. The front desk clerk was rarely there, which was frustrating. We had to wait 10 mins to check in when there was no one else around.

Pros: Awesome staff, check in and out was fast and easy, the room was clean, plenty of towels, in a great location to restaurants and highway access to Louisville. Cons: The beds were a firm spring mattress that sagged a bit in the middle. Behind the TV was dusty and there was drywall dust in the stairwell. Excessive login requests for the internet on all devices (and Chromecast wouldn't connect) but the Internet worked fine when connected. Overall if the beds were upgraded we would stay there again. None of the rest was a deal breaker.

Spark was a nice property. The breakfast was not very good. It was just bagels. Very disappointed with breakfast. The room and beds were very comfortable. Everything was clean except the trim around the shower bathtub was moldy. I would pay a little more to get better breakfast. We will not stay again for this purpose. Thank you.

We checked in fairly late, but were pleased at how well the parking lot was lit up. Ashley checked us in and far exceeded expectations. She was very courteous and personable, yet kept things professional in our brief and limited exchange. As always, our room and the path to our room was very clean and well lit, which we appreciate, especially since we checked in late (11pm). The hotel room was spotless and that’s not exaggerating even a bit; it’s very clear that each employee knows, understands, and respects their role in this process and actually take pride in what they do, which I very much appreciate. We did take part in the breakfast on this trip which was chocked full of just about anything you could imagine in a hotel breakfast service and far exceeded our expectations. Ray was present as we checked out, which we’ve already had a few interactions with and was just as friendly and professional. All of these things are the reasons we continue to choose this specific Hilton property and always will when we are traveling through this area.

Tv wouldn’t work, drove 12 hours to get here and slept awful due to bed and musty smell of air conditioning. Breakfast was good. I wouldn’t stay again due to uncomfortable beds though.

It was a good hotel. Kind of featureless on the outside. European style decor inside and in the rooms. Had to scout for a cup for water in the room. Rooms were clean and quiet. Little kiosk could use some more variety and stock of snacks and beverage. I will say that while their breakfast offering appeared rather stark, the bagels (which were from a bakery in New York through their Sysco company) were quite possibly the best bagels I've come across in the South.

The hotel was very clean. The staff were very nice and helpful. The room was very comfortable and bathroom very clean. We would stay here again. This was our first stay at a SPARK branded Hilton hotel. It is definitely no frills which is fine. But in Shepherdsville KY it was the most expensive hotel. I guess we expected a little more for the price. The internet kept going up and down during our stay but that was not the fault of the proprietor

During my stay, there was an issue with the shower that I did not notice until my first morning. I was able to use the sink to clean up for the day to come. I informed the front desk, and they said that by the time I returned that evening, it would either by fixed or I would be put into a new room. Everything was working perfectly when I arrived after my day. I was impressed with the fast response.

The facility was bright and inviting. Our room was clean and comfortable. We lost power in the middle of the night due to a terrible storm. No effort was made to let us know when it could be restored. When we checked in, we had to disturb the front desk clerk to help us. He was sitting outside on his phone.

We extended our stay another night even; knowing we were going to experience a comfortable and welcoming hotel. Close to several eating options, grocery or shopping needs, and the best go-cart place I've ever been to! The staff was incredible here - even making my little girl a SPECIAL birthday treat bag that had her GLOWING for her 5th birthday. Thank you for that, again!! Great recommendations on family activities. Parking was accessible and hotel is right by hwy.
