Louisville Hotels

I%26#39;m looking for for a hotel for the Memorial Day weekend. What hotel areas would be in a safe neighborhood? Will likely be going down to waterfront park, but a 10 mile drive to the park would be ok. Thanks.

Safety isn%26#39;t really an issue when choosing a hotel. There are the airport hotels located off the interstate which offer no frills, basic stays and shuttle service to airport, etc. Those are okay, but tend to be a bit noisy and there are few restaurants or other places of interest around there. There are many hotels in the I-64 /Hurstbourne Lane area, While there are nearby shopping malls and a plethora of chain restaurants and stores, the traffic is horrible just about any time of the day. Therefore, for visitors wanting to see the downtown sights, I recommend a downtown hotel such as the Mariott, Hyatt, Galt House or one of the historical hotels, Seelbach and Brown. We also have many wonderful B%26amp;Bs in the old Louisville area which are convenient to downtown. There is a decent Ramada Inn off Zorn Ave by the river and I-71 where we occasionally send clients. Some of the rooms are a bit dated, but it%26#39;s not a bad place. If you can use Priceline to bid for a downtowmn hotel, you may be very happy with the results. Often people bid 4 star and get the Hyatt or Galt House for 70 dollars or less.

Stick to one of the hotels on the waterfront or out on Hurtsbourne Lane. Dont stay at the Holiday Inn on Broadway Ave (just outside of downtown), any of the hotels in southern indiana, or out by the airport. I lived right off Hurtsbourne for 3 years and traffic is not all that bad if you%26#39;re not going very far from the interstate.
