The Campbell House wants $126 a night for what I call their "overflow" rooms. The ones in the back that they only use for big events..
To me this is outright price gouging.
One of the (few) good things about having the tournament in Louisville back in the day was that they "fair traded" room rates across the board for all hotels.
Sad.
LaQunita on Stanton Way sits right off of the exit and is affordable (average of $75 a night), clean & comfortable, has free Wi-Fi, a free breakfast, and sits next door to a Cracker Barrel, a Waffle House, and a McDonalds as well as a couple of gas stations. It's also a quick and easy 5-7 minute drive to Rupp.
Also avoid $10 per session parking rates as there is sometimes limited free street parking available within walking distance of Rupp on Short St. or 2nd Street. Once you reach the backside of the Victoria Shopping Center the remainder of the walk to Rupp is all indoors if by chance it's chilly or raining.
Somerset vs. Mayfield best ever?
