Galt House Hotel Trademark Collection by Wyndham
It's my fault for not realizing the balconies facing the river are also located above the highway. I was not able to sit outside in the night or morning due to the insane traffic noise. Again, my fault for not researching more. Paid a premium rate for the room and couldn't even use it.

Crowne Plaza Louisville Airport Expo Ctr by IHG
Far too expensive for what they deliver. We had to call 4 times to get someone up to free up the corridor from loud party guys at 1 am, they even nocked on bedroom doors. The breakfast was dry/over cooked. Not to repeat

Derby City Gaming & Hotel - A Churchill Downs Property
I always love how clean this hotel is! The casino is fun and the food is always delicious! This was the first time I booked a two queen room and the view did suck. Nothing but AC units to see.
