Top Speed Art Museum Hotel Reviews

Super 8 by Wyndham Louisville/Expo Center

10/10 Excellent

"Always stay here for state fair every year. Close to fairgrounds!"

6Bed 5Bath Prime Retreat Mins 2 UL/Downtown Firepit Speakeasy Luxe Amenities

10/10 Excellent

"This is a great home for a large group! 6 bedrooms with excellent beds. 5 fully updated bathrooms. Lots of gathering space. Nicely decorated with both modern and classic touches. Property owners/managers were great to work with and proactively encouraged us to report any problems of which we noted a few minor things not needing immediate attention. This is a classic home in a quintessential Louisville neighborhood yet walking distance to Univ. of Louisville campus and super convenient to Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Expo Center. Our group of 11 would definitely stay again!"

The Trifecta in Old Louisville

10/10 Excellent

"This was a fabulous home away from home on our multi-family trip to Louisville. We will definitely stay here again - it was convenient, cozy, and cute as can be! From the welcome candy to the binder of recommended restaurants and things to do - we felt very cared for during our stay. The home is very comfortable - nice linens, excellent bath care products, and the kitchen is extremely well equipped - coffee pot and kuring, with coffee, filters, sweeteners. As far as location - we were within a 10 minute Uber to the Expo center, Muhammad Ali Museum, Nulu (which was super fun!), and 2 hole-in-the-wall sports bar/restaurants were within a 5 minute WALK. We loved sitting by the fire pit after a long day - and the owners even provided smores kits (we opted for wine and bourbon instead). 10/10, 5 Stars, Don't hesitate - just book it!"

Quality Inn & Suites University/Airport

8/10 Good

"The new owners are very helpful, The property is in a great location, It does need a little attention to detail but it seems they are working hard to make that happen. I will stay there next year for a music festival."

Inn at St James Court

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location with a great host"

Bourbon & Way Beyond! No Locals

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay here was enjoyable, and the property was accurate as listed. It had 3 spacious bedrooms and was very clean. It was very close to our event at the Expo center, and it was also convenient to the University area. The host was extremely helpful and responsive. The only downside was that I did not realize the property does not have a living room/common space, just the bedrooms and the kitchen/dining room. However, this was not an issue for us because we were not at the house much. I recommend and would stay here again."

DuPont Mansion Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our experience highly recommend"

Victorian Harvest

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely fabulous. Everything was fantastic. The whole house is beautifully decorated and spotless. Our suite was amazing, best bathroom i have ever seen and everything worked! Bath was deep with colours and bubbles, never experienced anything like it before, fabulous. Massive shower, easy to operate and hot water immediately, no waiting for it to warm up. Bed was so comfortable i actually managed to sleep, not easy for me in a strange bed. Lounge is beautifully designed, breakfast good. I cannot come up with enough superlatives. Definitely, definitely choose to stay here if you are coming to Louisville."

New! Walk to the Kentucky Derby, U of L Football, and Jim Patterson Stadium!

10/10 Excellent

"Girls weekend getaway had a fantastic time. Everything was within 20 minutes or less from the property. We'll definitely be back. Felix, the host was fantastic. Any question we had, he was readily available to answer. Thanks again for hosting a wonderful place."
