This was an incredible room at an incredible rate. Spacious and clean. Everything Kentucky Derby themed. They go the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable. Close to the convention center and airport

We really enjoyed our stay at Derby City Gaming & Hotel - A Churchill Downs Property. The hotel was very clean and even with the casino attached it was still very quiet!We especially appreciated the shuttle to and from the music festival.

Hotel was awesome! Rooms were much bigger than expected, comfortable beds, very clean. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and helpful. Shout out to shuttle driver Kevin for getting us to/from the festival. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Wow, I've stayed ina lot of hotels and this one is easily in my top 3! For the price, this is a much better hotel than a lot of Marriotts and Hilton's I've stayed in. It's super clean and the rooms are very spacious! There's free parking and restaurants on site if you want a quick bite. The beds were super comfortable and the whole room had a very luxurious feel to it. The hot water in the shower does take a while to kick in but it does work. Staff was also amazing! Anytime I'm back in Louisville l'm for sure coming back here!

Great Hotel, sports book and casino. Wish Ky would allow tables. Only issue I had was with several cars parking in the Handicap spots. This should be more closely monitored. JJ
