Radisson Hotel Louisville North
Hotel is HUGEEEE! Long walk to I believe A wing. Pool was out of order but that didn’t stop us from having a ball. We were there for one night and it was definitely what I did not expect. 9 out of 10 for me. When I come back to Kentucky I will definitely stay here again.
