"One night stay. Very clean hotel, which is one of the top things we notice. The staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good. Will stay here again."

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."
