Hotels Near Louisville Zoo in Louisville

We had stayed at another property when passing through Louisville on previous visits but this time we decided to look for something away from the downtown area. Always a fan of Springhill Suites, we picked this in the airport area and were pleased we did. The staff, both evening and morning, was very welcoming and seemed happy we were there. When we asked for restaurant suggestions, we received a full sheet of options. Our room was spacious and clean. The morning breakfast fare was normal for a Springhill Suites, meaning there was plenty to eat and it was good. I woke up early and walked around the area on a pleasant morning, coming away with the feeling the location was a safe one. We will be back.

Facilities: The shower head doesn’t work well Service: No purified water

I booked though a 3rd party. Unfortunately, the hotel never received it. No worries, as the front desk was accommodating! They gave us a room at a lower price than I booked with the 3rd party! Located across from the Kentucky Fair Grounds, it seemed to be a little sketch. But, wasn’t at all! Great staff, free breakfast (better than most!) and clean rooms! Only issue was the bathroom was in the Queen suite. My wife and I stayed on the pullout and had to tip toe in to the bedroom to use the bathroom, cuz we stayed with family. All in all, great price, location and staff! Close to I-65 too!

I stayed with my fiancé as a getaway to some health issues he had earlier this summer and for a change of scenery. Beautiful exterior and lobby. It appears they have either local or vintage art throughout. The rooftop bar and resteraunt had a great ambiance and beautiful views of the city. We enjoyed the happy hour and other small bites and the food was fantastic. Based on these things, I expected the rooms to match the charm. I was so disappointed however that they didn’t. There’s room for improvement as far as some additional art decor in the room and the lighting is terrible. In the evening, the dim lights make you feel claustrophobic and a little like you’re in prison (eek!). The beds were comfortable and pillows were great, so a few changes could really turn things around. I think the biggest issue this hotel will face in the long term is upkeep and cleanliness. For being only opened a year, it’s starting to feel run down. There are chip and loss of paint on the walls, and the carpets have stains throughout. I’d fire the manager and hire a new director of housekeeping. In the bar upstairs, one of the lounge benches was missing about a yard of fabric and was shredded so badly it was embarrassing. You could see the foam. The showers have a half of a door, so water easily can make the bathroom floors wet. I’m wondering if this is causing water damage, since on the ceilings is appears that it may be. Also, they don’t accept all major credit cards, which their website didn’t indicate. When I checked in, they shared that their system is “finicky” with Discover card. They were nice enough to extend a 50 dollar credit for the hassle, however. Overall, If you’re in town, come for a drink or dinner, but stay at the Omni or a Marriot.

Carpet in the halls had stains, I smelled **** in the hallway, I told the front desk clerk & she said that she was going to tell housekeeping to spary. This is a smoke free hotel, she never left the desk to see where the smell was coming from. We put our bags in the room & went out for about two hours, came back and still smelled **** in the hallway. We decided that we would just go to bed & check out early and leave, about 11:00 fireworks went off until a little after midnight. I told the front desk that we where going to check out early, she said that as long as we left before check out time , there should be no problem with not paying fr the second night. Well I am still having to pay for the night , that I was no longer in the state. So if you don't mind stains on the floor, paying to park your car in their parking lot, and hearing fireworks until midnight, I would not recommend this place. Run fast !!!!

The bed is large, the small fridge and the microwave are complete. The toiletries are good, the breakfast is free and good. Drinking bottled water is free and unlimited. There are supermarkets and pharmacies downstairs, which is especially convenient. It is convenient to travel in downtown. The bedside table has a plug and is easy to charge on both sides.

Travel here for business regularly and the hotel is in the perfect location... walking distance to restaurant/bars and attractions (walked to Louisville Slugger Museum on this trip), clean and spacious rooms... good bar! I enjoy this hotel and would highly recommend for business or pleasure!

I had a great stay at this Courtyard during a visit to the Louisville area. The staff were great and everything went well during my stay. I stayed in a standard King room which was clean and bright and had a great view of the downtown area. The rooms are a little smaller than what I'm used to but I was only in my room late at night to sleep. The hotel has several amenities for guests to enjoy. it has an ample fitness center, a very welcoming lobby, a bar, a bistro that serves breakfast, coffee, and a limited choice of food for lunch and dinner. Parking is in the hotel and is added to the room charge. The hotel wifi worked well in every area of the hotel including my room, the lobby, the conference rooms and my room. Overall a great stay and not too expensive for a downtown hotel. This hotel is located near many of Louisville's attractions within walking distance. I would stay here again if the room price is reasonable.

The hotel is beautiful and in a good location on 4th Street. Multiple restaurants and bars to eat but be sure to set reservations. The beds were comfortable but the sheets were very stiff and there was no thick comforter. Parking can be a little confusing, more signage needs to be visible because of valet and everything else the parking garages are hard to see. We had a larger vehicle and had to use a different parking garage, and due to all the valet in the front part you couldn't see where that parking garage was therefore we ended up parking in public parking garage down the road. Hotel staff was good about this and refunded us for the hotel parking so we was not double charged. One thing that I noticed that would be a big help to visitors is more signage within the hotel and parking garage. The hotel is very large and all the floors look the same so you can get quite turned around with which Tower you're going to or where the restaurants are located. For example, it would be good to have some signage inside the elevators so that you know which floors have access to which restaurants/skywalk. Would definitely recommend this hotel and will be staying here again.
