Top Expo Five Hotel Reviews

The Brown Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room, staff, and bar were very helpful. The waffles and omelet breakfast was great. Room service ON POINT. My biggest complaint was the lack of informing myself and a host of other hotel guest, not having our rooms ready. It was almost two hours and a half before we got into our room. This offset our intened itenarary. We were in town to celebrate a friends birthday."

Crowne Plaza Louisville Airport Expo Ctr by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice place."

Baymont by Wyndham Louisville Southwest

8/10 Good

"Very nice hotel"

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!"

Cottonwood Airport & Expo Hotel Louisville

8/10 Good

"My daughter and I stayed at the Cottonwood Louisville Hotel for the weekend, and overall we had a nice stay. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and the staff was very nice and welcoming. My only wish was that there were more restaurants within walking distance, but besides that, everything was good. We enjoyed our stay and would consider staying here again."

Four Points by Sheraton Louisville Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Great service even when fully booked for a music fest"

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."

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!"
