"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."
