Check-in and check-out process was easy. Staff was friendly. There was a mini-fridge and microwave in the room. It would have been nice to have a coffee maker in the room, but parking was easy and it was a short drive to surrounding cities and Mammoth Cave National Park. It was a great budget place to shower and sleep after a long day of hiking and exploring.

Don’t let the price fool you, it was nice, clean and quiet. There are no fancy amenities but for the price you can go out for breakfast and still save money. I’d 100% stay here again if I ever come back to the area.
