Top Kentucky Downs Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express White House by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Room clean staff courteous"

Woodspring Suites Bowling Green I-65

10/10 Excellent

"Clean, basic room. No breakfast, but friendly staff, and easy parking."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Bowling Green

10/10 Excellent

"We stay here regularly as we pass through Bowling Green on our travels. We do so because the hotel is inexpensive but well-run, clean, with excellent amenities. This time our room was comfortable, as usual; the AC was efficient and quiet, WiFi was easily fast enough for us. We were able to have a healthy breakfast because there was a wide variety of breakfast options, rarely the case in less-expensive motels. And finally, the staff person we interacted with was pleasant, efficient and helpful. I used the workout room. The treadmill was easy to use, including the linked television. The stationary bicycle also was easy to use, and I am not expert in these devices."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Nashville North - Springfield by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I really enjoyed my stay! The room was nice, clean, and comfortable, and the entire atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing. The food was great as well. One of my favorite things was the pancake machine at breakfast! It was so cool watching the machine make the pancakes right in front of you. It honestly felt like something out of the future! 🥞😊 I had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay and would definitely recommend it!"

Ramada by Wyndham Bowling Green

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel had a great breakfast. It was very quiet and very clean. Staff was very polite and helpful. The room was clean and fresh smelling when you walked in. We had linen service while we stayed and they replaced towels and made the bed daily. Great place to stay. Close to a variety of eating places"

Baymont by Wyndham Franklin
