Homewood Suites by Hilton Louisville Downtown, KY

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was excellent and very helpful"

Home2 Suites by Hilton Louisville Downtown NuLu

8/10 Good

"The air-conditioning did not work properly in our room. We could not get it under 74° for our entire three days. Thankfully, we brought a fan and were able to blow that directly on us in order to sleep. We were in one of the accommodation rooms and they swapped us to a different accommodation room. Neither of them had proper air-conditioning. However, other hotel guests informed me that their rooms were freezing. I am unsure as to why ours did not work. Although they were unable to fix the issue, the staff were all very kind. The swimming pool was empty at all times, so that was pretty cool."

Drury Plaza Hotel Cincinnati Florence

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel! It was very busy so the pool was a no go for us. Loved the set up of the bedrooms. Popcorn wasn’t good-no salt or butter but breakfast was great! Wish staff told us light dinner was free. Definitely would stay there again regardless now that we know :)"

Holiday Inn Louisville Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"The Holiday Inn Downtown Louisville was a pleasant experience. We were not in the room except to sleep but all the staff were very helpful and pleasant and made us feel welcome. The rooms were clean, clean and clean! Valet parking was a little pricey and we had a late check-in so it was necessary."
