Top Kentucky Derby Hotel Reviews

Studio 6 Suites Louisville, KY – Airport/Expo Center

10/10 Excellent

"Good location."

Galt House Hotel Trademark Collection by Wyndham

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was perfect- Very clean, staff was overly helpful. Did not have time to visit the other floors this trip but plan on staying again"

Holiday Inn Louisville Airport - Fair/Expo by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"breakfast was very good parking was good"

Homewood Suites By Hilton Louisville Airport

8/10 Good

"The front desk staff were amazing. Hotel over all was extremely well kept and clean. The hotel room appeared to be clean upon first glance. However, the shower had not been completely scrubbed in what look like quite a while. I always bring cleaning supplies, so I cleaned where I needed. There was food crumbs underneath the dresser. The beds weren’t the worst hotel beds we’ve had, but could have been better. The pillows could be replaced as well. The room temperature was hard to keep at comfortable temp. The bathroom had exhaust fan, which was amazing! We had called to ask for washcloths on last day, never received them. I managed. We never asked for anything entire stay except that, so it was a little disappointing. The internet cut out often, but usually for not very long. Plenty of restaurants close by. My husband tried their breakfast at hotel twice, he was not impressed. The kitchen was small, bet set up well, and updated wonderfully. The entire hotel room was updated, decorated well, and the space felt comfortable. The soap provided gave me headache, not my cup of tea lol. Overall the stay was great!"

"THANKS"

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Louisville Airport

10/10 Excellent

"I can’t tell you how amazing the staff was here! Me & my mom visited with my 4 grandkids (12,10,7 & 7) We slept in a little late thinking breakfast was over at 10. It was at 9 :( We showed up at 9:30. They totally went out of their way and got my grandkids cereal & muffins. Then when we checked out, they snuck bags of goldfish crackers into our pockets so the kids would have a snack home to Indiana. They were so friendly, helpful and accommodating. It was our fault, we showed up late. So they didn’t have to help at all. But they did and seemed genuinely happy to do so! I would definitely stay here again next time we come to visit Kentucky Kingdom. Our overall stay gets 5 stars from us! Kudos Fairfield! We appreciate you <3"
