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
Super nice hotel. Large clean rooms and bathroom. No pool, fitness room, or laundry- the only downside. Just a short drive to downtown.

Air conditioning didn’t work, refrigerator didn’t work, water pressure horrible. Paid almost $600 to stay one night and it felt like we were at a Motel 6!
