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.

This facility was very dirty for a Holiday Inn, especially the entrance, hallways, and elevator. The bathtub had a slimy film and was not clean. The parking is a small lot. No good if if you are pulling a trailer.

The guy at the front desk was condescending. The room was dirty. Staying on the ground floor the blinds didn’t work. Looked like some cheap ass shower curtain for the window curtain.We’ve been staying at Holiday Inn Express for years when on vacation and this was the absolute worst. We left at 5am. Couldn’t wait to get the hell out of there…

Asked for room near lobby or elevator since I use a walker Did that when I made reservation month ago. Got there and they gave me handicap room which was the furthest room from elevator! And I didn’t ask for. It was regular room with tub and 3 grab bars and seat. That’s not handicap and that far away from elevator! Do they think all handicap are in a motorized wheelchair to get to it???? Also gal called person in charge and she pretty much said take it or leave it. I’m IHG member and expected better
