I spoke to someone last night about food still being in room fridge. Said they would take care of it, nothing got done. Talked to someone up front this morning And let her know, I also had to clean the tub myself because it was dirty. They were out of time because of the events going on this weekend. She apologized and said she would do something about it

Overall stay was good. Easy check in. Nice view of UofL stadium from our room. Floors needed vacuumed in our room. No outlets near bedside table unless you unplugged the lamp and alarm clock and even then on two phone chargers could be plugged in there. Had to plug other one in across the room. Furniture had some noticeable chips. Good for one night.

Shuttles to the Expo / Derby

Kentucky Derby 2025 After reviewing many hotels, I stayed at this Holiday Inn and was not disappointed. Upon arrival,l I noticed a wonderful gift from the hotel of 2 insulated cups and chocolates. Shuttles: -Airport - there is a shuttle to and from the airport; however,r it's important to note that you must make the staff aware of your pickup time from the airport to receive a pickup on arrival Kentucky Derby - There is a shuttle that goes from the hotel to the Expo center where you hop on another shuttle that takes you directly to Churchill Downs. For pickup you'll need to call to find out where shuttle pickup is. I waited for a while in lot G after the Derby but ended up grabbing an uber as it was cold and rainy and I had no way of contacting the shuttle driver directly to find out which lot they'd be picking up from. Store - there is a store inside the hotel with candy and snacks for purchase Bar - open in evening. Staff - friendly and helpful Restaurants nearby -Arbys, El Nopal (Mexican food) and and Italian restaurant in walking distance from the hotel. El Nopal had fantastic service and decent food and margaritas - I went there twice. Gas station - also in close walking distance. I went there to ATM before race day and grab a jug of water for my room. this was before I realized there was a store inside the hotel.
