8/10 Good

"Great location off the interstate and the airport right near the convention and Expo area easy parking on site"

Home2 Suites by Hilton Louisville Airport/Expo Center, KY

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great time at this hotel and the breakfast was also great and everything was also maintained very clean ."

Staybridge Suites Louisville Expo Center by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay with our family! I would rate it a 10 out of 10, easy. Super clean, smelled new, breakfast was wonderful with multiple options, the staff kept the breakfast area clean at all times and they kept a check on everything in case anything ran out. Loved it!"

New! Walk to the Kentucky Derby, U of L Football, and Jim Patterson Stadium!

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed the stay. The home is so close and convenient to all things UofL. It was definitely a plus that sheets and towels were provided. I wish the kitchen was better equipped with cookware and other kitchen essentials (silverware, pans, pots, aluminum foil, ziplock bags, etc), because I was hoping to cook my son some home cooked meals while visiting, but the lack of cookware prevented us from doing that. Other than that, we had a lovely stay, and now that we know the kitchen situation, we’ll be better prepared next time. We’ll be back!"

"The house was superb!"

Near Airport & Major Attractions, 5Mi Downtown, Comfy Loft

8/10 Good

"Very convenient location, easy to access, directly across from Churchill Downs. Apartment was clean and everything worked. Pictures of property were a bit dated and it's an upstairs apartment, not a whole house. Bed in main bedroom left something to be desired in terms of comfort, but other bed was very comfy. Overall, a good place to stay, but not the fanciest place in town."

Deep Sea Diver | Hot Tub | Near Churchill Downs 3 Bedroom

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great little weekend getaway at this charming and cozy spot! The outdoor seating area with the hot tub & fire table was so cozy & the murals were awesome. The place itself was way bigger than we expected with plenty of space to spread out. The hosts were quick to answer our questions & it was just a great getaway. Would absolutely come back."
