Studio 6 Suites Louisville, KY – Airport/Expo Center
I love it when the person that checks you in at the front desk is friendly and personable. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. The only drawback was the airport is very close and the airplanes are very loud.

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Louisville Airport
My only complaint was that the sofa bed was not a queen, but a twin that was very inconvenient for us as we had four traveling and we were expecting a queen size sofa bed
