room were fine! we stayed for the weekend. Loved the music in the bar on Friday - wish they also had it on Saturday, the acoustics were great in there. Lots of dining options at the hotel and great location. Will stay there again. Only thing we weren't happy with is the maid walking into our room ...

Radisson Hotel Louisville North
The place reeked of marijuana in main lobby. The room had only 1 tiny garbage bin (in the bathroom) to accomodate 4 guests. There was still carpeting throughout and a non-smoking room still smelled very much like a smoking room.
