Top Fairgrounds Hotel Reviews

Radisson Hotel Louisville North

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed during the Louder than Life festival while the hotel was sold out to full capacity, and still the staff was friendly, helpful, attentive and accommodating. The hotel provided shuttle service to and from the festival, which was convenient and easy to use, making our stay even more affordable because we didn't need a rental car or have to use ride share services. The food at the hotel restaurant was delicious and remarkably reasonably priced. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!"
