The fitness area should not cost extra. It should be included. Other than that, it was great.

Crowne Plaza Louisville Airport Expo Ctr by IHG
Far too expensive for what they deliver. We had to call 4 times to get someone up to free up the corridor from loud party guys at 1 am, they even nocked on bedroom doors. The breakfast was dry/over cooked. Not to repeat

Omni Louisville Hotel
Fantastic in every way and was a great place to stay seeing Louisville, Kentucky. Almost nobody used the pool or hot tub, but we loved it outside. Also do not miss the speakeasy, which is hidden and open till midnight.

Derby City Gaming & Hotel - A Churchill Downs Property
Super nice hotel. Large clean rooms and bathroom. No pool, fitness room, or laundry- the only downside. Just a short drive to downtown.

Embassy Suites Louisville Downtown
Air conditioning didn’t work, refrigerator didn’t work, water pressure horrible. Paid almost $600 to stay one night and it felt like we were at a Motel 6!
