Radisson Hotel Louisville North
The rooms are adequate the bed is comfortable and the bathroom is acceptable. However the general maintenance of the building needs attention. Dirty windows, dirty railings, dirty stairways. But inside the room everything was fine. I slept really well mainly because was very quiet
