Radisson Hotel Louisville North
Room was small and clean but very outdated. The pool and pool area were clean. The entire property seemed very raggedy and could use some TLC. Front desk staff was helpful but always seemed angry and not very inviting.

Room was great with king size. Shower was great also. Definitely recommend hotel to stay at even though no pool or weight room. No one under 21 allowed at location.

Omni Louisville Hotel
The Omni is a beautiful hotel. With great restaurants and shops, rooftop outdoor pool and bar, gym, central location walkable to so much in the downtown area. My room was great, spacious with a nice view of the city. No complaints. Highly recommend!
