What guests think

Reviews of Econo Lodge Louisville Airport describe a budget stay with mixed cleanliness and dated rooms, friendly but inconsistent service, a very simple breakfast, and a location convenient to the Expo Center yet in an area that can feel unsafe.

Several guests found rooms quiet with comfortable beds. Parking is on-site but the lot is small and can feel like musical chairs, while a hot tub or jacuzzi is a small plus. Overall, expect a basic, value-focused stay near major venues.

The room was clean, inside was quiet, beds were comfortable. The gentleman yelling at the Ford Mustang was odd but couldn’t hear him once inside. He was hard to avoid due to the small parking lot. All told would stay here again.

Came for LTL festival. The owner puts a lot of effort into keeping the hotel clean and keeps repairs up to date. Quiet and convenient to the Expo Center. Plenty of places to eat near by. Staff was friendly. NOTE: you will play musical chairs with the parking:)

The hotel was dated but clean and otherwise very well maintained. Our room was a good size and there was always someone at the front desk if we needed anything. We stayed here for the Kentucky Derby as it was the only reasonably priced hotel in the city and we were pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness and comfort of the hotel.

The staff was very friendly. Hotel is close to Kentucky Kingdom and Expo Center. It was in the 90’s when we were there and the AC was not turned on in the room. The room was hot and smelled quite bad. The odor got much better after the room cooled down. There were several dead bugs on the floor and in the bathroom. Also there were stains on the bathroom wall, something gross on the bed frame. Couple different outlets didn’t work.

Was actually impressed with property until that evening when I decided to iron my work clothes. Pulled ironing board down and out fell 4 used injection needles. I was horrified and really scared for safety. Reported thos to front desk, and it seemed as though they were not concerned at all that I as a guest could have been stuck by them. I will definitely not be staying there again and encourage if you do to do a proper safety check of the entire room at check-in.

It was extremely filthy and when I tried to get a room that didn’t smell like cigarette smoke the front desk person didn’t want to be accommodating. Then when he finally did switch rooms there were stains on all the furniture. Checked in and checked out the same day.

It’s in a shady area of town. Strip club across the street and a liquor store literally attached to the building. I didn’t feel safe, but the beds were nice enough, except I kept getting an electric shock from all the sockets. Don’t be fooled be the free breakfast. It was just a bunch of stuff in packages. The front desk was very nice though. I don’t want them taking the flak!

Hotel Manager was Rude and Disrespectful, yelling and loud mouthing out in front of at least 4 customers. Did stay because she said she was calling the Police on me and my Husband. So we didn’t Stay but she still Charged me for the 1st Might which was March 16,2023 but I Reserved it for March 17,2023. I was so upset with her Rudeness and being Disrespectful to me an I am from out of time. I feel I was treated Wrongfully.

This place is a sorry excuse of a hotel. I am shocked that the name brand on the building hasn't been revoked by the franchise. The staff is completely disrespectful and rude. They act as if it is an inconvenience to offer any type of customer service. I was hassled out of money and was almost talked out of using Expedia when booking the first night. I was told that the price difference between the two wasn't a factor when in fact there was a $40 difference in the price of the same room for one night. If I would have booked with them they would have got me for an extra 40 dollars. They only had 4 guest stay the first night and decided that breakfast wasn't worth preparing for 4 guest. Complete lack of give a f~€£!!!!!

They said I did not need a deposit because I’d stay here before and I got there and they wouldn’t give me my room and I’m still trying to get my money back. Boo for taking advantage of people online. This is an awful service sometimes. Last time they said I had a room and I got there and they were overbooked. I hate this service. Bye
