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

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!
