Top Louisville Hotel Reviews

Wingate by Wyndham Louisville Fair and Expo

Wingate by Wyndham Louisville Fair and Expo

10/10 Excellent
"Very Clean with very nice people. I felt very safe here. The only negative is it is right next to a highway so when it is a discount room that says highway view, be aware you are not looking at a highway in the distance. You are in some cases yards away. I had a room on the other side and I could not hear the highway noise."
