Top Fairgrounds Hotel Reviews

Towneplace Suites By Marriott Louisville Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Came out to stay for Labor Day weekend the room was amazing as well as the staff I love the fact that there is a mini kitchen in the room definitely helped since I have boys who are always hungry and the best part is we were just minutes away from the Louisville slugger museum my boys absolutely loved it we are already planning our next trip back 🤗"

Four Points by Sheraton Louisville Airport

8/10 Good

"The bed was comfortable. The showers were great. The property is getting a bit dated but still has the feel of a nice hotel. While we were there the elevators did not work and AC failed in our first room. However the front desk quickly gave us a new room with good AC. We stayed for 3 days, just in for family wedding. It worked for us. Would stay again."

The Brown Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was spacious and clean. The toilet in the bathroom was really low so if you had knee replacements I would ask about that. The bartender is super knowledgeable about his bourbon and really friendly. Fun to watch him mix drinks, he's like a wizard! We had dinner in one night and that was fabulous! Great wine, fabulous salmon and my husband had the flatiron steak, he loved it. The bourbon seasoned fries were good with that steak as well. Our server was really nice. Everyone is super friendly there. It was our second time and we will be back again!"

Hampton Inn Louisville-Airport

8/10 Good

"Breakfast bar was out of items. Bed was hard and pillows pretty squishy. Common areas not the cleanest accept for the pool. The pool was really clean. Otherwise, the hotel was near the Exposition Center and airport. Not much within walking distance. Quiet and I felt safe on property."
