What guests think

At Staybridge Suites - Louisville - Expo Center by IHG, guests consistently praise clean, spacious suites with kitchenettes, friendly staff, and a convenient location for the Expo Center and stadium, while noting aircraft noise from the nearby airport.

Breakfast is frequently described as good with plenty of options, though some guests found it average or noted items ran out or hours ended early. While rooms are comfortable, several mention thin walls, sliding bathroom doors that lack privacy, and occasional issues like AC, exhaust fans, or fixtures not working. Amenities such as free guest laundry, a fitness room, and a lobby pool table add value, but some miss an on-site pool or airport shuttle, and parking can be tight. Expect modern suites and amenities with an airport-noise tradeoff.

The room size was perfect for my family of 5. Hotel within walking distance to kentucky kingdom. The staff very friendly. Had free breakfast& dinner while we were there. Also a free pool table. The only problem we had is this hotel is right next to the airport so u can hear planes off& on throughout the night. This hotel is right near the plane descending. They did offer free earplugs which is nice but if u are a light sleeper,id stay elsewhere.

Great place. Stayed the weekend for a dog competition. My dog was welcome. Had a dog walk area and on the first floor so I could take him in and out easily. Parking was right by the door. Staff were super helpful even printed some course maps for me. Room was clean comfortable with kitchen/table/ sitting area and great bathroom. Breakfast was amazing with great coffee. We did dinner delivery which worked out great. Will be back soon.

Property conditions were not up to expectations for spiked festival prices. Room had issues with black mold in bathroom and wallpaper peeling off due to moisture. When alerted staff about issue, they said they would have maintenance look at it, rather than offer compensation or new room accommodation. Breakfast provided was sub-par. Laundry facility was dirty and machines were gunked up with detergent products. Will not return.

Overall the property was nice. A good continental breakfast. Seemingly clean and kept up well. AC seemed a little weak but not a big issue. My problem was with the last day of my stay. While at the Street Rod Nationals I received a call from my wife that something bit her. Upon pulling the sheets back she found a tiny brown bug. I notified the front desk and was told they never had that problem before and she would notify management. An hour or so later and we decided to leave and cut our trip short. Front desk said they had called Pest control and they would get back with me. She said since it was 5:30 pm, it was too late for a refund. I would have been satisfied with another room, but no offer. I notified the front desk that the bug was on a napkin on the nightstand by the desk. Two days later management called and said Pest control could not find anything. As I relayed to the management an issue like this could happen even to a five star hotel. It is how you handle these situations that matter. I was very disappointed in the way this was handled, therefore unless changes are made in the management of this hotel, I could not recommend it. Thank you.

The hotel overall was nice. The room was very well organized and seem clean. When we checked in the next morning we had ants on the counter in our room and that evening we found cockroaches in the bathroom. That is a pet peeve for me when I stay somewhere is cleanliness and no insects.

The hotel is clean and employees were friendly but the hotel has paper thin walls and floors. Every move someone made sounded like elephants playing. Also had several room issues. AC not working, room that I checked into hadn’t been cleaned yet and the breakfast was below average. Overall won’t be going back.

We've stayed at Staybridge many times, this was our first time in Louisville. My biggest complaint is that the bathroom doors in the King bed suite do not close all the way. They are the barn door style and it leaves a decent crack where one can see right through, a perfect view of the toilet and the mirror which reflects the shower. I stayed with a friend so it made for a bit of an awkward situation. The breakfast buffet had great options, I really loved all the fruit options I could top my Belgian waffle with along with the mini chocolate chips. The eggs and sausage were not tasty at all in my opinion. The staff was very friendly and helpful except that upon check out they refused to print a receipt "because we booked through Expedia". I always book through Expedia and other Staybridge locations have always printed a receipt for me. The Staybridge doesn't provided a shuttle to Freedom Hall etc. like the Hotel right next door so keep that in mind if that's important to you.

The property is in good condition and convenient to the airport. I would definitely recommend for families because of the kitchenette. The biggest downside is the walls as very thin. You hear everything from the room next door and in the hallways. The other downside is you need a car to get to shopping or dining options.

A very nice hotel. Close to the airport. Quiet. Good breakfast. I would have given a five star rating if not for the constant loud flapping noise from the bathroom's exhaust fan. The noise stops when it is switched to the on position and the vent lid stays open but that also turns on the bathroom light. You have to choose between sleeping with the light coming through the side of the bathroom door or the flapping noise which is slightly less noticeable when the door is closed. We mentioned the issue to the reception but was told that they are aware of the issue and have been working to solve the problem. Apparently, it is not unique only to our room. We also found out that the refrigerator did not work. We left a couple of boxes of left over food in it to find out a day later that neither the refrigerator nor the freezer section was cold. We had to throw the food away. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay at the hotel.

The hotel and staff were great however the bathroom door in the room was very odd and provided little privacy. It was a sliding (kinda barn door style) door with no latch or lock with gap you could see through on the sides. We also had issue with it staying closed once closed. With a family of 6 yhis was a bit awkward at times. Really frustrating because besides the door the hotel was fantastic. It was very clean and the staff were friendly and accommodating.

I did like the kitchenette in a room but was not a fan of the sliding bathroom door or that the bathroom didn’t have an ac vent or an exhaust fan. The body wash, shampoo and conditioner and the hand soap were all in Dove bottles..but was definitely not Dove. I use Dove every day and it doesn’t do that to my hair. The receptionist also gave us the wrong receipt, so we ended up getting someone else’s personal information, and someone got ours. Kinda worrying

Upon check in, no one at the front desk explained hidden fees and how they handled a deposit. It was no made aware by hotels. Com or Staybridge at check in. I had several fees I had no idea what they were for and there was zero transparency. We stayed with our dance team and will be advising team to stay elsewhere. It was very upsetting.

Do NOT stay here if you’re a light sleeper. It’s by the UPS terminal and low flying planes are the norm, especially at night. That being said, this is an amazing property! The woman at the front desk was friendly and knows where to go and what to eat. I got several good tips from her. They are close to a lot of stuff and made getting around Louisville a breeze.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Staybridge Suites Louisville Expo Center by IHG for a single night, and I wanted to share my overwhelmingly positive experience. While my stay was short, it left a lasting impression. The value for the price was exceptional, exceeding my expectations in several ways. The breakfast offered a substantial and satisfying selection, perfect for fueling a busy day. Beyond the quality of the food, I was also incredibly impressed by the cleanliness and overall hygiene of the entire establishment. Everything was impeccably maintained, reflecting a clear commitment to guest comfort and well-being. This attention to detail is often overlooked, but it truly contributed to making my stay so enjoyable. Should I find myself needing accommodation near the Expo Center again, the Staybridge Suites will undoubtedly be my first and only choice. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking comfortable, clean, and affordable lodging in the area.
