Rooms were comfortable and quiet
Decent budget hotel that is in easy walking distance to several fun bars and restaurants. Easy access to get on the freeway, easy to find from the airport.

CONVENIENT. COST-EFFECTIVE
Hotel is convenient to interstates and downtown Louisville restaurants, ballgames and conventions. Plus, it's a fraction of the competition's prices. Inexpensive surface parking is an added benefit, if you need to come and go. It is what it is. A basic motel that provides you the basics.

Great location with good parking rates. Hotel was in fine condition. Bed was surprisingly VERY comfortable, better than some other high end hotels. Was a great location for the KICC.

Over charged.
The place was cleaner than expected, cheap, and not bad. But our charge from hotels.com went through, and two more charges from the hotel itself, plus we have another 160 pending.

Can’t beat the location. Lots of people rev engines and drive like maniacs in the middle of the night, so, other than that it was a fantastic value and I would stay there every time I come to Louisville.

Good location. Had seen reviews about homeless problem and there were no random people sleeping on the property. Breakfast was good. Room clean. Police presence nearby seems to have cleaned up area.

I needed a cheap place to stay for a 3 night run at the Palace. The Palace was a short walk from the hotel/motel. Plenty of eating, drinking, and entertainment options near by.

Stay was ok
The room was clean, but the room was extremely hot when we got in it which led to a smell. There was constant sirens from police.
It didn’t feel like the safest surroundings.
Overall the room was nice but spilled water and when I cleaned it up, the towel was black so they need to mop the floors.

Average Motel for the Price
Meh - it wasn’t completely horrible. I honestly didn’t expect much from an Econolodge so my expectations were already so-so.
Not terribly dirty, the hard surfaces were clean but the linens (bedding, towel, pillow cases) showed stains. The bottom of the shower curtain was mildewed. It looked like most of the rooms were smoke free but the smell of Marijuana was prominent when walking outside of the rooms in the walkway and in the parking lot.
The immediate area was kind of rough but we never felt unsafe.
The rate we got was reasonable for the location. We didn’t partake in the continental breakfast but when checking out I could smell waffles, so even though there isn’t much to the breakfast bar, it smelled like they did have a waffle maker.
