Americas Best Value Inn- Lexington has rooms for 119/night. Its only 1 mile down the road. Not the Hilton, but it would work for you.

I'm not. I've never gone to the Kentucky Derby. My brother's 50th birthday is next May 8th. I'm going to surprise him and take him to the Derby. Hotel in Louisville, tickets, and flights will set me back about 6K. I need to have all plans finalized by the fall. So i'll be betting Breeders Cup from my couch this year.

Thanks for that hotel info! Just booked a room for Friday night. We come in late Friday so just need a place to sleep. Planning on staying in Cincinnati on the way home Sat night. Anyone know what the post time will be for the Classic? And is that the last race on the card? Just trying to figure out about what time we'll be leaving Keeneland on Sat night.
