Top California Hotel Reviews

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

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room great customer service"

Hyatt Regency Louisville

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing rooms, comfortable King beds, loved the views from my room, and the replenishment daily of coffee and water. Hotel gym had a great selection of weights, weightlifting, machines, and cardio equipment. I also love that the Starbucks was connected directly to the hotel. We did eat breakfast at the restaurant once, it was just OK. It wasn’t great for the price. Otherwise, the hotel itself was gorgeous and the rooms were quiet."

Homewood Suites by Hilton Louisville Downtown, KY

10/10 Excellent

"This was my favorite hotel I’ve stayed in. The staff were amazing, the pool was nice, the lobby was beautiful, and our room was spacious and clean. The day we were there, they served afternoon snacks and drinks (only on Wednesdays), which was a great touch. I would 100% stay here again!"
