Thank you so much for your time and reviewing your stay with us! We are sorry to hear about the troubles with the lack of dining options nearby. As we continue to recover from the impacts of COVID-19, we hope that many of the local restaurant will join us in reopening these operations as soon we are able.

The front door to Louisville

Pros: Free Internet, Quiet, staff is amazing, clean, modern
From the moment you walk through the front doors at Holiday Inn you are in relax mode. The AMAZING staff welcomes like you are a family member. This hotel is beautiful inside and out. The entire place is clean and fresh from top to bottom! And don't forget the FREE parking! This is a major plus for any hotel these days. I have stayed closer to downtown and paid $25.00 per day to just have my car sit in the parking lot, you won't find that here. Shuttle service, Unbelivable! even if it's is just running you down to the local store and back. Trust me you will get your monies worth here. I have all my friends and family stay here as well as business clients from all over the United States. :) :) :)
