Galt House Hotel Trademark Collection by Wyndham
Love this hotel but this stay was disappointing only because the sheets were so rough. It was like they were air dried. Not comfortable at all.

Crowne Plaza Louisville Airport Expo Ctr by IHG
Friendly staff members, easy check-in. The room was very clean. My room did not have a microwave but I didn't need it anyways. It had a little fridge tho. I asked for a later check-out and the lady at the front desk was very nice. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Louisville. ...
