Top Kentucky Kingdom Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Louisville Airport - Fair/Expo by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Par for the course."

Super 8 by Wyndham Louisville/Expo Center

8/10 Good

"We love staying here when we go to certain events because we can walk. Staff are friendly. Ask for housekeeping because they will forget to service your room if you don’t ask. We had to ask for towels and disposable items to be refilled regularly. There’s a weird smell on the main floor and the stairway but it’s not in the rooms. Rooms are in pretty good shape. Wish the air conditioner was able to be set to a livable temperature (settings were fixed). All in all would stay here again if going to event at expo center."

Staybridge Suites Louisville Expo Center by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Staff went above and beyond to to make stay as comfortable as possible. I did read reviews about plane noises at night time. I stayed on the bottom floor as recommended by staff and did not have any issues, slept great. Room was clean, soap shampoo and conditioner is provided. Bring laundry pod as washer and dryer is available. Did not use the fitness room but looked like it had all the basic necessities to continue your workout. Coffee and breakfast bar is provided every morning. Dinning room was clean. Location is great for any attractions. Everything was a short drive from hotel. Went to music festival and was able to walk to and from the festival without having to wait in long line on Uber, Lyft, or shuttle. Would definitely stay again. Ash, manager, was awesome, going above and beyond to assist with any needs and make stay comfortable."
