Holiday Inn Louisville Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"My Friday night stay started off pretty frustrating. The first room had no hot water, there was hair left in the shower, and the bathroom sink would not drain properly. Because of those issues, I had to repack everything and move to a room on the third floor, which unfortunately made me late for my plans that evening. Thankfully, the second room was a completely different experience. It was much cleaner and more comfortable, and the beds were incredibly plush and luxurious. I slept very well once I was finally settled. The breakfast, however, left a lot to be desired. Next time, I’ll probably skip it altogether and make a Dunkin’ run instead. Overall, the second room saved the stay, but having to change rooms because of basic maintenance and cleanliness issues was an inconvenience that should have been avoided."

Crowne Plaza Louisville Airport Expo Ctr by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"First off the last time I stayed was not pleased but always loved crown plaza so I thought why not. Absolutely amazing. The front desk staff was so sweet and let me check in a hour early. Went to Louisville game with my wife came back and went to bar and our bartender was a one of a kind. She was covered up but she took top care of everyone there. Also made a helluva old fashioned. After this trip will not stay anywhere else."

Homewood Suites by Hilton Louisville Downtown, KY

10/10 Excellent

"This place is Hilton service the way it should be! I stayed here 6 days. The staff here was excellent. Ms Bree & Ms Emma at front desk both took the extra steps to make sure everything was good for my stay. The room was exceptionally clean, from the bathroom vents, to the tops of the doors! there wasn't a speck of dirt, dust or mold to be found. Again the way it is supposed to be. Rooms had stove top, refrigerator/freezer, pots & pans to cook, plates, cups, utensils, etc. Couch, table to work or eat, the bed was comfortable as were the pillows. Had an iron and ironing board, closet, dresser, TV & ceiling fan. Air-conditioner worked well. ***There was no safe in the room. The shower was clean and good pressure. ***Did not have a hose spray nozzle. The pool (although small) was very clean as was the gym and the lobby. The pool closed at 9pm, by the time you returned from dinner it was closed. I feel the hours should be later until at least 11pm. It is right next to the gym which is opened 24 hours. Breakfast was ok to good depending on who was working. You could tell the days the Spanish woman/cook was off because the food fell off a bit. Buffet style breakfast that switch up the breakfast meats daily. *** the hotel coffee wasn't the greatest. It was in a good location walking distance to lots of the areas restaurants, distilleries, coffee shops, bars, etc. I would absolutely stay here again! Thank You ROD from New York"
