4.1/5 Very Good! (1,002 reviews)

"We thought we had the wrong address... it’s one of those trips where you realized you are going to stay at Bates Motel for one night. Everything was super tired and it felt like a time capsule from 1983. Nothing had been updates except from the shower curtain (no hint here on the Bates Motel comparison). ..."

Clean, friendly motel

"Yes, this is only a motel, but it is probably the cleanest one of its type that I've stayed in. Everyone was friendly and check-in went well. I must say that the adjustable shower head is the best one I've ever used at any hotel regardless of price. The heat is radiant/convection, which is very unusual, ..."

OK place to stay for one night.

"The furnishings were dated but the room was clean. It was noisy compared to other places I've stayed at. Some noise came from the mechanicals inside and other noise from cars. The parking is right outside the door and the streets nearby are busy."

How can I get cheap hotels in Louisville?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Louisville

If you're looking to travel to Louisville on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $48. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $149. Staying a short amount of time in Louisville is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.
When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Louisville, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.
When booking cheap hotel rooms in Louisville, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.
When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Louisville, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.
For additional savings on Louisville cheap hotels, be sure to check out Expedia Rewards. You may be eligible for extra discounts on your trip, and you can earn points for even more savings on your next trip. Becoming a member is entirely free.
