Top Louisville Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza Louisville Airport Expo Ctr by IHG

Crowne Plaza Louisville Airport Expo Ctr by IHG

8/10 Good
"I came here for a conference in the hotel. The hotel is very nice. I opted for the premium king bed room. The room was very nice, spacious, and clean. The only ly complaints were the air conditioner in the room worked well for cooling but was extremely loud and sounded like a tired, cranky heavy metal drummer trapped inside a white plastic box, holding your hotel room hostage. The tub was larger than normal and I was excited to soak in it. Upon filling it up the drain stopper was broken and didnt seal up properly so the water drained out almost immediately. Other than that, the hotel was awesome. And the areas our conference was held in were awesome as well. 10 stars on wifi connectivity no matter where you are I the hotel! Would stay again for sure."

"Great location! Breakfast was better than expected with an omelette station. Loved the convenience of the airport shuttle. Only complaint was where the TV was on the wall and the position of the bed."
