Property is on a convenient exit off Interstate 65 and away from most of the tourist activities, yet within one exit off the access road to Mammoth Cave National Park. Hotel staff were responsive, cordial and kept a very clean property.

Convenient location for mammoth caves, onyx caves, ky down under, and lots of great restaurants (la cabana, honeyoak, watermill). Breakfast was good, lots of options. Biggest bummer was not being able to stream anything on the TV in our room.

We had a great stay for the two nights that we were there. The breakfast was awesome and had quite a bit of variety from biscuits and gravy to eggs to sausage, muffins, cereal, juices and milks and the lady that was tending to was very nice and helpful. The only downfall was we were hoping for a hot tub and there wasn't one available. But it was closed to Kentucky down under and not far from Mammoth Case which we were visiting. Krista checked us in on Sunday evening and was very helpful and she was there to check us out today.

Very mixed bag, breakfast was great, but the room wasn’t super clean, hair in the tub, ladybugs all over the ceiling which was a bit weird. Towel shortage in the pool and then lack of fresh towels in the room. I’d stay again but wouldn’t be excited about it.
