Distill-Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel! Staff was so friendly and helpful. Hotel decorated perfect for the bourbon trail area. Location isn’t great. Our only complaint was people walking in room above us sounded like elephants!"

Baymont by Wyndham Louisville Airport South

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean, Continental breakfast was fine, Apples, Oranges, Waffles, Yogurt, Muffins, Bagels to name a few and of course Coffee, Tea, Milk and Orange juice. The only knock is the planes, I think UPS that take off at around 3am for about an hour, but then the hotel is next to the airport so it is to be expected. Next door to an Olive Garden."
