Fine Family Spot near Mammoth Cave

Great place to stay close to Mammoth Cave NP. Pool area is tired and no more hot tub, just FYI. Check-in staff member was really nice. Breakfast missed on a couple items (ran out of milk for cereal and the pancake machine didn’t work), but still had breakfast, which was efficient.

Disliked: Cleanliness
This wasn't a terrible place to stay but if you want something that you don't want to wear your socks/shoes all over the place, this is not the place to go. The floors were very dirty. Also, if you want breakfast you better go very early if you don't want eggs or sausage. They run out and do not fill it back up with milk, yogurt, fruit, peanut butter, etc. The juice ran out as well. I have never been to one that when it ran out, it was gone. However, the staff was super nice and this was a very quiet, safe place to stay.

I got a great deal on Expedia and you get what you pay for. The room was good - beds were comfortable, OK as far as clean - there were some spots that weren't great, but for the price we were OK with that. The breakfast was pretty good. The staff was very friendly.
