Hillside Inn - A boutique Madison hotel with river views and historic downtown location

Located in the heart of historic downtown Madison, this boutique Madison hotel sits 1 mile from the historic Lanier Mansion overlooking the Ohio River. The Hillside Inn features private balconies with river views, plush white bedding, and free WiFi throughout the property. Each room comes with a private bathroom, cable TV, refrigerator, and tea/coffee facilities. A complimentary continental breakfast with coffee and tea is served daily, and guests have access to a terrace. Safety features include carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, a security system, and first aid kits. The property maintains a 24-hour front desk and provides newspapers in the lobby. Situated 62 miles from Louisville, the hotel places guests within 1 mile of Madison Broadway Fountain, Jefferson County Public Library, and Gallery 115. The Sunrise Golf Course lies 3 miles away, while Clifty Falls State Park showcases the area's natural beauty.

Pros

Within walking distance of local dining spots like Key West Shrimp House (0.5 miles) and Hinkle's Sandwich Shop (0.5 miles)

Close proximity to cultural attractions including Schroeder Saddletree Factory Museum and Dr. William Hutching's Office & Museum

Professional property management ensures consistent service standards

Accommodates families with children under 18 years at no extra charge

Cons

62 miles distance from Louisville may be inconvenient for travelers requiring airport access

Limited on-site dining options

“Hillside Inn appeals most for its hillside views, but expect an experience that echoes an older era. While the location is prime, some of the rooms and amenities show their age. For travelers seeking a basic stay with an emphasis on scenery, it could be a worthwhile choice despite its imperfections.”
