Great location and friendly
Good for the price for our 1 night before the Stste Archery tournament. Siper close and easy to get tp tge expo center. Floors were a little dirty/dated (esp the bathroom), shower curtain was short and if you weren't careful, got water all over the floor like our teenager did. Oversll, not awful, two went down for breakfasy and said the breakfast was worth the additional charge, not the average food piled out for everyone. Friendly staff and good location despite the "park at your own risk" warning sign.

The Hotel was very clean .The staff was very friendly. However, the surrounding area had a lot of crazy drivers. Also, the bathroom door in the room was heavily scratched up and did not lock.

Louisville Holiday Inn
Room was very nice and comfortable. Check-in was okay with the exception of the desk clerk. VERY unfriendly. The two young men on the front desk that evening were exceptionally friendly and helpful.
Complimentary breakfast was very good.
