Overview

The Red Roof Inn Louisville Expo Airport receives mixed reviews, with many expressing serious concerns about safety and cleanliness. Several guests reported issues such as drug activity, prostitution, and unsanitary conditions in and around the hotel. While some found the rooms clean and the location convenient to the airport and the Expo Centre, these positive comments are significantly overshadowed by the overwhelming number of negative experiences described. The hotel's proximity to the airport (a 5-minute drive) is a plus for some, but the overall safety and cleanliness issues raise significant concerns.

This is a smoke free hotel, however twice we saw custodians smoking cigarettes within hotel rooms and in the walkways outside rooms while there are many signs that say you must be 50ft from building. Secondly, there were so many bugs in our room! We recorded them and ended up camping two nights because we were so sketched out by the hotel room. I will be submitting the videos to corporate. Lastly, this area is sketchy! Security (from the adjacent Waffle House) alerted us to go to our rooms while we were grabbing late night food bc there was an armed drug deal going down on floor one. That is just one of many shady operations that were taking place in the parking lot. Definitely witnessed some services in exchange for money. We even had a sticky breast cover stuck to our door in the middle of the night. So disappointing! We were in from San Diego for a festival, and this place should have been condemned.

This was the worst Red Roof Inn property I've ever seen. I did not stay here!! I arrived around 11pm & was surprised to see that the property was unkept, people were hanging around outside smoking & drinking. There was an eating establishment next door where the people who were outside were loud & revving their car engines. I travel solo & the environment was unsafe; I did not stay here & wouldn't recommend for anyone else to stay here either.

5 min drive to Expo center and airport. Waffle house in the same parking lot. Area is a tad bit noisy, but still got a good night sleep. Room was to be expected for a Red Roof, nothing spectacular, was clean.

The room rate was a fair price. But the hotel is not as close as you would believe to airport.. That explains the fair price. There is a waffle house that is safe to walk to during daylight but i would caution a single female traveler. Long as you are aware its very isolated at night.

When arriving notice a lot of people just hanging around the parking lot that look like drug dealers and people standing around by their rooms that look to be women of the night I was worried about going out after dark due to the conditions. Meaning would be afraid for me and my daughter not to be approached by the people that looked like they stayed there long term, soliciting drugs, or sex was glad to leave early in the morning. The room was dirty didn’t want to even take a shower because of the filth check the mattresses was worried of bedbugs, which thank God there were none would have left but our room was not refundable and I couldn’t afford another room somewhere else we were there to spend the night to be able to make an appointment with my daughters liver transplant doctor. I was very disappointed with our stay

I was expecting to have a hold on my card for a deposit per the website but it was not mentioned at check in. My son also had a room he arrived 30 min later and a different person checked him in and persisted in a cash deposit when I told them I had a room with no deposit he did not make my son pay a deposit. Someone came running in the office saying a woman was in the parking lot claiming a man in another room attempted to rape her and he's walking thru the parking lot the police showed up. There was a woman going through the dumpster in the parking lot, people fighting in the parking lot at 2:30a.m. and and someone tried getting in our room in the middle of the night and people hanging out in the breezeways. I did not find live bugs but I found dead roaches behind the t.v and at check out I was not offered a receipt and the two customers in front of me had to ask for one.

Stayed 6 days for a basketball tournament, there were used needles in the outside trashcans junkies fighting in the parking lot. Sits between 2 abandoned hotels homeless beggars on both corners of the street. Airplanes landing throughout the night. The last 2 days the cable didn’t work. I was with my teen daughter who couldn’t walk to the car without being cat called by the numerous construction workers sitting in there trucks through the day. Bathroom had someone else’s hair all over the tub and old water bottles along the back side of the beds.

The room was clean . But when we looked at the print out on the Expedia website it said there was a mini fridge and a microwave in the room which there was not. Also website showed there was breakfast bar which was not had to walk across the parking lot to a restaurant for breakfast. The lobby entrance was locked had to use a security window!!!
