The Spotlight on Howard Johnson by Wyndham Airport

Affordable Comfort Just Minutes from the Music

Modern convenience meets wallet-friendly comfort at the Howard Johnson by Wyndham Airport. Located right off I-264 and just half a mile from Louisville International Airport, this hotel is a practical pick for concert-goers wanting a clean, comfortable place to rest without breaking the bank. Wood furnishings, cable TV, and work-friendly desks give the rooms a traditional vibe, while free Wi-Fi and 24-hour reception keep things easy and connected.

Why Concert-goers love it

With the Kentucky Exposition Center only a 2-minute drive away, this hotel is a favorite for fans heading to shows. Plus, being just 10 minutes from the University of Louisville puts you close to campus events and music festivals. The hotel's location near major roads means easy access to late-night rideshares, and the grab-and-go breakfast helps you recover the morning after without hassle. It's not a party hotel, making it ideal for those seeking a quiet crash pad post-show.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends driving in for a weekend of music
  • Solo travelers chasing that bucket-list tour date
  • Couples planning a concert date night
  • Fans wanting a quiet place to recharge
  • Budget-conscious music lovers looking to save for merch and tickets

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, the hotel does offer a convenient grab-and-go breakfast—perfect for late risers. Vending machines stocked with drinks and snacks are available 24/7, and you're just a short drive or delivery order away from plenty of local dining spots.

Nightlife Options

The hotel itself is low-key when it comes to nightlife, but it’s a quick trip to nearby bars and music spots around the Exposition Center and downtown Louisville. If you're looking to keep the party going, rideshares are easy to catch from the hotel entrance.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the location near the airport and concert venues, calling it super convenient for short stays. The staff earns high marks for being friendly and helpful, and people often mention that the rooms are clean and comfortable for the price. Travelers also like the easy parking and quick check-in process.

Areas for Improvement

This hotel is more about function than flair. Some guests note that the decor could use a refresh, and while the grab-and-go breakfast is handy, it’s not a full hot meal. But for the price and location, most say it gets the job done.

The Bottom Line

If you’re heading to a concert and need a clean, convenient, and affordable place to sleep, Howard Johnson by Wyndham Airport hits all the right notes.

Poor - 1.0 out of 5

Mark McK, Mason, Ohio, visiting Executive Strike and Spare Louisville

First, the positive. The motel was very close to my destination and the staff was friendly. Now, the rest. Once I left the lobby, there seemed to be dirt on every floor. I had the feeling that even giving the carpeting a good shampooing would not remove the dirt. The room was more of the same. The room also had bugs. Over the last 30 years I've stayed in some pretty low grade motel rooms while going to concerts, bike races, adventure races, and the like. This place is the worst.

Liked: The staff was friendly and pleasant. The motel was less than a 2 minute walk from my destination.
Disliked: Although the lobby was presentable, the stairwells (I always take the stairs) were filthy. The guest room was filthy. There were bugs in the room.

I have no complaints. I was there only one night but everything was clean, neat, stocked, in working order and comfortable. The personnel were all courteous and helpful. One employee offered to help me with my baggage and another saw that I had made a wrong turn and immediately corrected me in the right direction. I have never stayed in a hotel that was totally soundproof so a few closing doors was not a problem.

Lila, Jasper IN

It still had trash under the edge of the bed, After the concert went back to hotel and no room to park, went to go in hotel and ask where to park and wouldn't let us in. had to park in hotel next to ours and walk over then when my husband told them if our truck gets towed they are paying for tow fee. Manager told us to settle down.

Disliked: No parking

Bad

Liked: Nothing because the hotel was closed for renovations when I got there!
Disliked: Everything. Especially the lack of communication to me about the hotel not being open! Got confirmation the day of! I couldn’t reach anyone from the hotel, there was 800 # on the door for Wyndham, who took no responsibility for it because they also didn’t know that facility was not open. I tried contacting booking.com who I made the reservation through and have yet to hear back from. Beyond frustrated is an understatement!

Nothing fancy.
