hotel with indoor pool (Louisville, Shepherdsville: rent, waterpark, hotels)

[stayOrGo]

My extended family and I are planning a trip up this weekend to take a bunch of kids to the zoo. I was thinking that it'd be fun to come up the afternoon before and rent several rooms in a hotel with an indoor pool. Can anyone recommend a decent/clean but relatively cheap place to stay that has a pool? We'll be coming from South 75 and anywhere within half an hour to the zoo would be fine. 4 stars and plush towels are not a necessity! Just looking for a place that all of the different families coming can afford so we can all stay together.

I do believe the Holiday Inns all have pools. The closest one to the zoo is this one I think:Holiday Inn Louisville Airport East - Louisville Kentucky Hotels - Hotel-Guides.us or you can try this link: http://groups.hotel-guides.us/

I misspoke in my earlier post... We'll be coming from the South by going North on I-75 to I-64.... The way I phrased it earlier made it sound like we would be coming South on I-75... Sorry about the confusion. I didn't realize the way it sounded until the first reply mentioned LaGrange!!

So, thanks for your responses so far :-) Here's hoping it doesn't storm like is currently predicted!!!

there are so many hotels near the airport that are not very far from the zoo. you'll be pretty close to the city, restaurants, and the zoo. you'll be in a very safe location and surely can find a great place to stay with the family! all of these are near the intersection of I-65 and I-264.

I would recommend staying downtown. You are coming to the city to enjoy city attractions, so why not stay downtown? The zoo is a 10-12 minute drive from downtown.

Residence Inn Louisville Downtown: Spacious suites and amenities for longer stays

The above is an excellent place to stay with a nice indoor pool for kids. I would also recommend taking your kids to some of the museums on main street. Also, from this hotel, you could walk to a Louisville Bats baseball game, which is cheap and family friendly.
Louisville Bats: Home

You could also enjoy the playgrounds at one of America's top ten ranked urban parks.

Welcome to Waterfront Park!

I haven't seen any kid not enjoying themself at the above marked Adventure Playground.

Louisville Kentucky - Home of the Kentucky Derby - Visitors Bureau

If you MUST stay at a suburban hotel outside the city here ya go its the only one with water slides:

If you're coming in 64 I would stay off the Blankenbaker Pkwy. exit. It is exit 17. These are some of the hotels that have pools,
Super 8
Super 8 Hotels | Louisville Kentucky Hotel | Louisville, KY 40299
Jameson Inn
Jameson Inn

These are located close enough where you are a 20 minute drive to the zoo, but you are far enough out where there isn't that constant congestion. There is also a cool place called Renaissance Fun Park right down the road in Middletown you all could check out. It has laser tag, go-karts, putt-putt, and an arcade.
