CLASSIC!!

At least there's a Barnes&Noble down the street with a $tarbuck$ in it. You can easily kill a couple hours off the misery.

You forgot about the upscale dining experience across the street at the Waffel House, or the deliciously prepared microwaved chicken wings at TGI Fridays. MMMmmmmm, can't wait til my next SDF layover!

LOL, I forgot about the midget beds. I thought there was a gym at the hotel just to the right of the counter?

If you call a treadmill a gym! The location is great but there are better hotels in the same area that offer more.

The Derby City welcomes its first bd's Mongolian Grill and Bar. Located just south of I-64 on Hurstbourne Parkway, bd's offers a one of a kind dining experience where the guest truly takes Kahntrol. With the freshest food prepared right before your eyes and an upbeat atmosphere, you can enjoy the perfect bowl in the perfect environment. PARTY LIKE A MONGOLIAN LOUISVILLE!!!

Minus being in Looneyville, they do have the best gym in the UPS system that the hotel takes you to. (Two stories, pool, B-ball, EVERYTHING you need and its free).
