Top Expo Five Hotel Reviews

Crowne Plaza Louisville Airport Expo Ctr by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel for the festival. Very clean and comfortable."

The Brown Hotel

8/10 Good

"Everything was amazing! Except…that might be the worst mattress I’ve ever slept on, with basic, uncomfortable pillows. My back hurt for an entire day. Everything else, incredible. The food, the staff, the architecture…wow. Just get new beds. I will probably come back to stay the night, but I will just need to bring my own mattress topper. Also, Kat in the breakfast cafe is exceptional!"

Cottonwood Airport & Expo Hotel Louisville

8/10 Good

"Pool was cold. Breakfast was good; better on the weekends than during the week."

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

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed the stay. The home is so close and convenient to all things UofL. It was definitely a plus that sheets and towels were provided. I wish the kitchen was better equipped with cookware and other kitchen essentials (silverware, pans, pots, aluminum foil, ziplock bags, etc), because I was hoping to cook my son some home cooked meals while visiting, but the lack of cookware prevented us from doing that. Other than that, we had a lovely stay, and now that we know the kitchen situation, we’ll be better prepared next time. We’ll be back!"

Comfort Inn & Suites Louisville Airport Fair & Expo

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room. Great ambient indirect lighting between headboard and wall. Pretty wall covering, like ocean wave, kind of. Great free breakfast, nothing fancy but complete and tasted good."

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!"

Deep Sea Diver | Hot Tub | Near Churchill Downs 3 Bedroom

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great little weekend getaway at this charming and cozy spot! The outdoor seating area with the hot tub & fire table was so cozy & the murals were awesome. The place itself was way bigger than we expected with plenty of space to spread out. The hosts were quick to answer our questions & it was just a great getaway. Would absolutely come back."
