Top Kentucky Derby Museum Hotel Reviews

Super 8 by Wyndham Louisville/Expo Center

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and had fresh paint, but you can see previous repairs behind the paint. The hotel is dated and in need of a proper refresh."

Homewood Suites By Hilton Louisville Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was super helpful and so kind after an awful drive on our way to the hotel. We were stuck in traffic for over 3.5 hours and didn't arrive to the hotel until 4:30 am. The person at the front desk checked us in quickly and we got to get some rest before we continued our trip to Atlanta. Upon arrival, our room was clean and more than we could have hoped for with a full kitchen. Although we didn't stay for more than several hours, we got some rest and did get to enjoy the breakfast. Everything was fresh and the coffee was excellent. We will definitely keep this place in mind for any return trip to Louisville."

Galt House Hotel Trademark Collection by Wyndham

8/10 Good

"The staff at Galthouse were amazing! They were very accommodating and polite. The rooms were clean and well maintained. The only thing was that the water pressure was significantly low and it took a while to get hot. Other than that, it was a beautiful weekend stay. I would recommend to others and stay again."

Holiday Inn Louisville Airport - Fair/Expo by IHG

8/10 Good

"I did not know that this location was under renovation and the pool is permanently closed. Otherwise it was fairly clean and a convenient place to stay for one night and the the price was fair for what you get. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful."

Four Points by Sheraton Louisville Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was clean, breakfast wasn’t free it was $10 and so we just skipped that and went somewhere else to eat. We stayed for the Louisville cardinals game vs Florida State we were able to walk to the stadium and walk home so we stayed in this hotel twice and no complaints we love coming back here!"
