Top Shively Hotel Reviews

Derby City Gaming & Hotel - A Churchill Downs Property (Adults Only)

10/10 Excellent

"They didn’t honor my $20 for casino"

Cambria Hotel Louisville Downtown-Whiskey Row

8/10 Good

"Hotel is great and great location. Only thing I had a problem with is parking. Parking is 22 a day/night but the thing is it’s first come first served even if you paid. So it’s not a guaranteed that you can park even if you paid coz there are very limited spots. Probably only around 30 spots. Would have been nice if they would only sell spots and make sure you can actually get a spot. Good thing we only had our rental car for a day. Very nice hotel tho and seems very safe. You cannot get in and out of the hotel without a key card."
