Top Kentucky Kingdom Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Louisville Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The only thing was that wasn’t informed about activities at the Kentucky Expo Center and could not leave car there for our week trip which normally would have been able to. A cost at the airport for one week was $200.00. Will do homework before we stay there again."

Holiday Inn Louisville Airport - Fair/Expo by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff, good location for Bourbon and Beyond"

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."
