Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan on going back to spend more time. Really enjoyed bar on bridge area. We weren’t able to stay for breakfast so I didn’t rate it.

Crowne Plaza Louisville Airport Expo Ctr by IHG
Room was in good shape; though, you can not open windows. It has a refrigerator and coffee maker. Beds were perfect for my family. Staff was excellent and helped us when requested.

Radisson Hotel Louisville North
Suite had a very stale moldy smell. Elevators were old, slow and creepy. Pool was very warm, so that was. Other than that sucks breakfast was not included, you have to pay for it.
