Derby City Gaming & Hotel - A Churchill Downs Property
It’s in a casino, so it is very clean and nice. I think they should offer hotel guest a complimentary small breakfast like muffin and apple or something. There is only one restaurant at the casino that offers breakfast and it doesn’t open till 8am.

Radisson Hotel Louisville North
Pool was closed, room was clean, there was a weird smell throughout hotel. Our friends on 3rd floor could smell weed really bad. The lobby was nice, but for the price everything was as expected.

Embassy Suites Louisville Downtown
Breakfast was delicious. Valet men were kind and helpful. The only negative I can say is seeing the homeless on the street: heartbreaking
