Rooms were what you would expect for the price, but regardless of the price the floors shouldn’t leave your socks and feet black. Also the pool really didn’t seem very clean. But for an overnight stay it served its purpose. Breakfast was nice, with a good selection.

After a long day of traveling I was ready for a hot shower and discovered a clump of hair on the drain from previous guests. Also there were numerous water stains on the ceiling along with a whole in the ceiling from a previous water issue The pool had so much chlorine in it it burned your eyes as soon as you opened the door.

The lobby staff was great . Very friendly and offered great tips on things to do. The room was not cleaned well however. The bathroom had hair in tub, used q-tip behind toilet and the nightstand had sticky water marks on it from drinks. Overall would go again if they spend a little more time cleaning.

We very much enjoyed our stay. Everything was what we needed. No complaints, staff was very nice and helpful. Breakfast was nice. We didn't know the area and were just driving around on a expedition of Americana! Not much to do around the hotel, but a freeway exit or two away go more options. We would stay again. We are just learning the area. We came down and explored Horse Cave City, Cave City, Mammoth Cave and Hidden River Cave. We loved our trip.

Shannon

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This property was horrible from the beginning. We arrived late and they had put us in a “no show” list so we no longer had our reservation. They already had a hold on our card. Then she had to make a new reservation for us but she had to call someone on the phone because she was new and there by herself at night. Then our card got charged again. After waiting to get in our rooms for an hour. We all go to our rooms to sleep and as soon as I layed down I started getting bit by bed bugs. I jump up and go downstairs to tell the front desk and she tells me that we can just go pile in the other room that we have all together. We had 7 people and 2 rooms. Then when someone gets there at 8am they could clean another room for us. This was at about 4:30am. There was no manager on site.
