Top Louisville Zoo Hotel Reviews

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Louisville Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing room. Super quiet. The bathroom door and shower door wouldn't shut properly but everything else was clean, comfortable and modern. The breakfast had a ton of options including gluten free muffins which I have never seen on a breakfast buffet. I appreciated that so much. Fruit options and two kinds of eggs. It was a lot of options. I would love to see labels added to eggs and sausage to list ingredients. And more milk and yogurt options."
