Top Kentucky Kingdom Hotel Reviews

Springhill Suites by Marriott Louisville Airport

8/10 Good

"THANKS"

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Louisville Airport

10/10 Excellent

"I can’t tell you how amazing the staff was here! Me & my mom visited with my 4 grandkids (12,10,7 & 7) We slept in a little late thinking breakfast was over at 10. It was at 9 :( We showed up at 9:30. They totally went out of their way and got my grandkids cereal & muffins. Then when we checked out, they snuck bags of goldfish crackers into our pockets so the kids would have a snack home to Indiana. They were so friendly, helpful and accommodating. It was our fault, we showed up late. So they didn’t have to help at all. But they did and seemed genuinely happy to do so! I would definitely stay here again next time we come to visit Kentucky Kingdom. Our overall stay gets 5 stars from us! Kudos Fairfield! We appreciate you <3"
