Radisson Hotel Louisville North

8/10 Good
"My husband and I travel often to try out new hotels and restaurants just to review and post about to our followers. We came to celebrate our anniversary at the Radisson. This hotel is incredibly large, with a beautiful lake, delicious food, and the most amazing and accommodating staff. Granted, everything is very outdated and very worn down, but the bones of it are unique and worth a stay even now! I have sleep insomnia and got 2 nights of good sleep if that counts for anything. That's why I am excited that they are currently undergoing renovations! We will absolutely be returning next year to see what a beautiful job they've done. Once given a little face-lift, this hotel is guaranteed to be one of our top 3 ever visited. Our favorite parts of this hotel currently: Heated pool, comfortable mattress, the food, and the staff that go above and beyond (Kenny, Eric, and the Manager Tumeka). See you all again soon!"
