Top Kentucky Kingdom Hotel Reviews

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.

"You won’t be disappointed"

Courtyard by Marriott Louisville Airport

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great hotel to stay at. I stayed there on a brief vacation and the hotel was very clean. The housekeeping was very nice and helpful. The concierge was very helpful as well. But most of all the room was excellent and above standard clean I am very picky about my hotel room rooms being clean, and the Marriott provided a very clean room. I would definitely stay at this hotel again. Parking was great plenty of parking. They also had a shuttle service that was available to. Hotel location was in a decent area. I’m not very familiar with Louisville Kentucky, but according to the GPS that I used, there were plenty of places around for me to eat and go to especially the mall. The Marriott courtyard provided a great stay. I will stay again."
