"The overall stay was not bad. The neighborhood is terrible, the house it self was not terrible either but when I brought us some sanitary issues with the property management he acted like he did not know. I asked for my cleaning fee back that was included in the price with no response back. The communication stopped after the stay was over and nothing being done afterward! Beware of the property is all I have to say."

"House was beautiful! We were in town for the Kentucky Derby, so everything was higher than normal, but this house was still reasonable compared to others. Location was great! Nice neighborhood within walking distance to restaurants and the river. Very peaceful and not at all concerned with safety. The upstairs suite was huge! Tons of room and everything we needed."

Crowne Plaza Louisville Airport Expo Ctr by IHG

Crowne Plaza Louisville Airport Expo Ctr by IHG

8/10 Good
"All staff was great except the person who would not send the shuttle to Churchill Downs for me after the last race of the day because she said there had been prank calls and they were not sending the shuttle to the track. I gave her my name and room number. I was not a prank caller. Still no shuttle service. Had to call an Uber which did not work out. Then called Lyft. I was in the rain for over 30 minutes before I got to the hotel. This was irritating as you can imagine. Coffee machine in room did not work. I reported it on checkout, as well as moisture on the carpet by the window. It was a first-floor room. I think it was leakage due to the rain. Housekeeping I give a B. There was a tag on the floor by my door the whole time I was there. Vacuuming needs to be done better by the edges of the carpet. Food I give a C. Staff at restaurant an A. Overall, the location of the hotel is superb as close to the airport and Churchill Downs. Hence four stars. I would stay there again."
