Why Concert-goers love it

Concert fans appreciate the easy airport access (just 3 miles away) and the hotel’s location within a short drive of downtown venues and major event spaces. The peaceful suburban setting is ideal for post-show recovery, and the 24-hour convenience store makes late-night snacking a breeze. While check-in starts at 3:00 PM, the friendly staff are known to accommodate early arrivals when possible.

  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing comfort

Food and Drink Options

Each suite features a kitchenette with a stove, microwave, and fridge—great for prepping something quick after a late night. There’s no on-site restaurant, but the 24-hour Candlewood Cupboard offers snacks and frozen meals. Plus, you're within easy driving distance of local diners and late-night spots. Breakfast isn’t served, but with your own kitchen, you can sleep in and eat on your schedule.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel doesn't offer its own bar or live music, it’s a short Uber ride to Louisville’s buzzing nightlife downtown. Whether you're heading to Fourth Street Live! or a cozy bourbon lounge, you won’t be far from the action.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, spacious suites and the well-equipped kitchens. The location gets high marks for being quiet yet convenient, and many travelers mention the friendly, helpful staff. The hotel is often praised as being a great value for the price, especially with free parking and Wi-Fi.

Areas for Improvement

The hotel doesn’t offer daily housekeeping, which can be a surprise to some. There's also no breakfast buffet or restaurant on-site, so plan ahead if you're not cooking in. A car or rideshare is recommended, as walkable dining options are limited.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a quiet, affordable, and comfortable stay near Louisville’s music scene, Candlewood Suites Louisville Airport hits the right notes.

Bad

Disliked: I booked this hotel through booking.com, never again. When I pulled up to the property, there was someone outside working on a semi, it looked like I was pulling up to someone’s house. I asked to be moved to another room because the adjoining door and was moved across the hall to a room with the same exact thing!!! Awful experience!! Upon moving to a different hotel, I spoke to the manager who was wearing, leggings, Birkenstocks and a sweatshirt with writing on it. She says that the site where I booked the hotel says that it is under renovation, that was a lie both ways because there was no renovating at the time of my stay and it says nothing about it.

Good Place

Liked: The bed was comfortable and loved the little kitchen.
Disliked: We only had one bath towel. Also, there was a used coffee filter in the coffee maker from the last occupant. Otherwise, everything else was great.

Overall good value.

Liked: Hotel was very clean and quiet. Kitchette was a nice convenience, but wasn’t used this trip.
Disliked: Lack of breakfast. Ceilings could use a coat of paint, same with bathroom doorframe and around the tub.

Older Candlewood but worth staying...

Liked: Older property, not nearly as modern as the other Candlewood I stayed in last night in Lexington. Kind of a weird lobby. No breakfast options. Room was older but well appointed with a nice little kitchenette. Microwave clock was wonky. There was a strange low-frequency drone heard continuously inside the room and it was kind of loud. The desk chair was completely worn out. Bed was comfortable enough. For the rate, I'd stay here again.
