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."

"The bed was comfortable. The showers were great. The property is getting a bit dated but still has the feel of a nice hotel. While we were there the elevators did not work and AC failed in our first room. However the front desk quickly gave us a new room with good AC. We stayed for 3 days, just in for family wedding. It worked for us. Would stay again."
