Top California Hotel Reviews

Derby City Gaming & Hotel - A Churchill Downs Property (Adults Only)

10/10 Excellent

"Clean comfortable rooms."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Louisville Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"The room and bed were very comfortable. The only thing that needs improvement is the breakfast food. The eggs were dry every day; the sausages didn't taste good. The juices were too watered down. One day the cereal tasted stale. The buffet comes with the room; however, you'd be better off eating elsewhere. On the positive side, the staff is fantastic, all friendly and very professional; the property is well maintained and very clean. I recommend staying here if you want to be close to Whiskey Row (one block away) and the stadiums- very convenient location."
