"Our visit to Holiday Inn ,Airport, Louisville was wonderful! The staff was welcoming and helpful at all times. The facility was clean, modern, and well maintained. During our visit we encountered an unexpected sickness with our 7 year old granddaughter in the middle of the night, and John at the front desk was especially compassionate and kind as he went out of his way to try and help us access something to help her. We would stay here again and would recommend this hotel to anyone! Wonderful experience!"
