What guests think

At Red Roof Inn Louisville Expo Airport, travelers describe a basic budget stay near the airport and expo center, with a rough, noisy setting and service that ranges from friendly to unresponsive depending on the staff and shift.

Cleanliness is a recurring concern, with many reports of roaches or bed bugs, lingering smoke or urine odors, stained linens, and dirty floors. Rooms are small and dated, and guests often mention hard mattresses and weak or inconsistent air conditioning. Some find acceptable value for a quick, no-frills stop with easy parking. Expect a very basic stay focused on price over polish.

Wasn’t the cleanest, beds were awful and they had no room keys. You had to be escorted to the room and let in by stuff due to no keys. It was cheap and ok for a passing through, one night stay.

Checking in/out is slow because they rather finish playing candy crush before they get to the window (actual lobby was never unlocked). Its adequate for a quick overnight stay if you leave before 11am (they will barge in at 10:55am to start cleaning). It isn't very clean, but not the worst. Nothing except Waffle House was open at 11pm in the area for food. Not pet safe, even though they are "pet friendly". The pictures of green grass is a stock picture. The actual pet space was tucked at the end of the building, near the freeway and dumpster. Its overgrowth, not lit at night and the useable space was the size of 3 large pee pads. I was afraid of poison ivy from the far right side when I used my phone as a flashlight to make sure there weren't any syringes in the overgrowth. There's a hole in back fence that leads towards the freeway. I will not be going back.

Property was over all a little run down ans some areas of grass not clean. Parking was plentiful & easy. Room was neat and tidy, looked to have been renovated. Bed was very hard which made it uncomfortable. I had a dog with me and was unable to find a clear cut pet policy. Turned out they had a refundable 50.00 deposit and a pet fee. Pet fee got added into my bill. I forget to return the room key due to running late for my event the last day and they charged me an extra 50.00. Check in was poor, guy was talking to a friend on the phone ghe whole time which I found to be inattentive and un professional.

First impression, looked like a retired motel 6. After this it was all down hill. The check in process was sad to say the least, when we arrived at our room, it smelled like smoke pretty bad( this is a non smoking hotel), we only had 2 towels for 3 adults, air conditioning kept shutting off so the room was too warm to sleep, people were yelling/fighting outside all night long, trash in the stairwell was overflowing on both floors.

Stayed 4 nights

We stayed for 4 nights in one room and my step-daughters met us for two nights in a separate room (room 315). The staff was fairly stand-offish and uninterested in being helpful. The smoke detector had a low battery, so we asked them to change it. They just replaced it with a different detector but must have been the same battery because it was still beeping at us constantly, like it was low. We had to constantly ask for clean towels, toilet paper, etc, as no one was checking the room. They only cleaned, changed trash, and changed the sheets after the first night. At least two of the towels and the top bed sheet had what appeared to be dried blood on it. But the absolute worst thing was that one of my the daughters woke up with bug bites all over her and then they promptly checked for bed bugs. There were signs of bugs and they even found a live one. The clerk acted like it wasn’t a big deal and would pass the info along to a manager. That was all that was said about it. Like it was no big deal. I would avoid this place.

It's a Red Roof. You get what you pay for. That being said, we went without hot water for well over 3 hours. I'm not 100% sure that the room was even properly furnished. There was no countertop in the bathroom. It was a Friday night... The increased weekend prices are way too much for the hunk of junk hotel.

Bed was spacious & firm, no bed bugs. Did find a few roaches, so we tossed our food. A/C was broke and barely blew any cool air in 80 degree night. We asked for an AARP discount but was denied due to booking online. At least offered disabled room, all-the-way-the-other-end of the parking lot from the office & ice machine (Not so convenient)

Overall pretty clean, no complaints there. 4-night stay, only saw housekeeping once. When we requested they come back later in the morning...we never saw them again. No clean towels, or any type of cleaning for entire stay.

It was close enough the KFC Yum and it was cheap! The room was nice. The only downside was that the room just couldn’t cool down at all, but I’ll chalk that up to it being insanely hot outside and that the AC couldn’t keep up with it.

The lobby coffee was excellent…when the machine was working. Overall, not a terrible place just a little overpriced for what you get.

The room was clean & looked nice overall. There definitely needs to be some maintenance, mainly outer & lot area. The mattress was quite uncomfortable, especially on one side so I had to switch sides (thankfully I was alone on this trip or it would have been miserable for one of us). Checking in was a lot of work. I asked if there was a main level room available, she said there might be if I waited for a few hours. I told her I didn't mind waiting for a few hours, but not just for a maybe. I had to ask several questions to finally give her the idea to check in with housekeeping to see if the room she had in mind might be cleaned today. I'm hoping there is more to the story on their side because most clerks would have just made it happen. I would have even been OK with there is nothing available, but not waiting for a few hours with a maybe. She was lovely, but not sure that was the right job for her or if she was having a bad day.
