Top Louisville Hotel Reviews

Radisson Hotel Louisville North

Radisson Hotel Louisville North

10/10 Excellent
"My boyfriend and I stayed here during the Louder than Life festival. We loved the hot water, the ac works fantastic, and the mini fridge also worked really well to keep our drinks cold! All linens nice and clean, the toilet looked a little iffy but it could just be an old toilet as I didn't smell any foul odors. The pool felt nice to dip my feet in and hang out while my boyfriend swam! My favorite part of our stay was the breakfast buffet! Such a good price for food that is right in the building and it was a great selection of foods. All staff we encountered were pleasant to talk to and helpful. The property itself is a little old but it is still beautiful, sits right by the water, we had a beautiful view from our room I 318. Thanks Radisson!"

"Really loved the hotel. It was very nice and clean. Staff was extremely thoughtful and caring when we arrived later than we planned and Lilly from valet helped me park our car out the way for i was unable to walk due to a fractured hip. She was so thoughtful she checked on us every time she saw us and asked how we were doing and what we were up to. She is really nice. Somebody i will never forget."
