Top Kentucky Kingdom Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn Louisville-Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Overall, I am a fan of Hampton Inns and this one was no exception. The rooms are clean and thoughtfully designed, bed was good, shower worked great and breakfast was well done. However, my room was showing some signs of aging (big chunk missing from bottom of bathroom door, toilet paper roll dispenser was loosely attached to wall, etc.). Would still choose to stay here again though."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Louisville Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing room. Super quiet. The bathroom door and shower door wouldn't shut properly but everything else was clean, comfortable and modern. The breakfast had a ton of options including gluten free muffins which I have never seen on a breakfast buffet. I appreciated that so much. Fruit options and two kinds of eggs. It was a lot of options. I would love to see labels added to eggs and sausage to list ingredients. And more milk and yogurt options."
