L'ville hotels.
Can anyone suggest somewhere close yet inexpensive near Churchill Downs ?
I'm heading up for Thanksgiving weekend for the final days of the meet and would like to know a decent area to stay. I stayed at the Hurstbourne Days Inn for the last Breeders' Cup and that was fine however 12 miles away. Thanks in advance.

not sure your budget...depends on what you're looking for. me and the kids decided on a whim to go up for one of sumwons races, stayed at the super eight right across the street from the lousville cardinal cafe. was an almost brand new place, certainly not a five star joint but it was nice enough for that kind of rush trip. it was only maybe a mile from the track so we walked to churchill.

Our basketball team stays at the Hilton Garden Inn right across the street, right next to the Super 8 and in the same parking lot as the Cardinal place. Great inexpensive hotel and great location.

You should check to see if UofL plays at home that weekend. If they do, you will not find a hotel close to the racetrack for very cheap. They do not play at home, try any hotel on Crittenden drive. There are about 4-5 hotels there for your choosing. Also check Southern Indiana as well. That is a real short drive to the track. There is also a Holiday Inn on 3rd and Broadway that isnt too bad. Good luck

This will be more expensive than similar in the area but agree, great place with the Cardinal a walk away.

Go to Expedia or similar and look at Louisville Airport hotels. Many to choose from and 10 minutes from the track.

On the same street (Phillips Lane) as my hotel are the following: Comfort Suites Hampton Inn Spring Hill Suites Courtyard Executive Inn (East and West) Even a few minutes closer to Churchill Downs is the Hilton Garden Inn, Ramada Inn, and Country Inn & Suites (on Crittenden Drive I believe).
