8.8/10 Excellent! (1,401 reviews)
I usually don't travel to Louisville as its out of the way for me, but, 1st, the pros: Crown Plaza is HUGE! Directly across from the airport, the shuttle is a call and 5 minutes away (always ready to drive you wherever you want to go) with lots of parking for large events or guests. Theme park a short walk away with lots of rides currently open. Massive lots around the property to go walking or just a casual ride on bikes or scooters or whatever you're into. The staff were kind, pleasant, and helpful, always with a smile. Nice clean room with soft beds that fealt heavenly with matching pillows that provide the right amount of support. I don't drink so i didn't approach the bar and i didn't get to enjoy the breakfast as my return flight was scheduled to leave before breakfast was served.
The cons: vending and ice machine were a little walk as the halls are pretty long, though on the same floor. Every time I stepped into the hallway I smelled old piss. Could've been my strange sense of smell but it was only near my room and faded as I walked away. Convenience stores and strip mall aren't exactly nearby, but about a 5-7 minute car ride with little traffic at the right time or on the right days. Internet on my device was lagging. Could've been my personal device, though its never happened before and it's T-Mobile network.
I'd return with a rental car next time as the shuttle only goes 2 miles radius.
Over all, I'd give Crown Plaza a solid 4/5
