Pros:

everything but the breakfast!

Cons:

The breakfast was skimpy! The server was fine, but, no breads? no oatmeal, even instant packets? apples were the only fresh fruit! (and they were old! We may look elsewhere next time just because of the breakfast!!

Pros:

The bed was very nice and comfortable. Clean room.

Cons:

The breakfast is only waffles, fruit loops or Raisin Bran. There was only yogurt for protein. But for the price of the room, it was to be expected I guess.

As You’d Expect For The Price
Pros:

We stayed in Cave City on our way to Mammoth Cave National Park. The hotel was easily accessible from interstate & had a few eating options nearby for convenience. It is an older, clean hotel. It does have an indoor pool, though it is pretty small. The hot water wasn’t hot, but rather warm for showers. And breakfast had very, very limited options (literally, waffles, cereal, or yogurt). But, for the price, this can be expected. Our room served its purpose.

Great stay near Mammoth Cave
Pros:

I stayed here for two nights while exploring Louisville and Mammoth Cave NP. Service was nice, and my room was spacious, clean, and modern. Although it's right off the interstate, it was very quiet, and there are some fast food options close by. The breakfast was fine, and best of all, the price was right.

Clean and comfortable but limited amenities
Pros:

The bed was great and room size were great. The negative is the pool was very small, the breakfast lacked a protein option- so glad I brought a protein yogurt with me ( so if your counting on an amazing breakfast to start your day, don't!) It had waffles and was clean, just know it's limited. We were on the 3rd floor when we checked out- elevator was not working at that time.,so had to make multiple trips to haul our luggage down ( I'm 67 and my husband will turn 69 this week, thankfully we were healthy and could do it, but not fun.) They should have offered help with luggage on the sign by the elevator sign that said it was out of order. Staff at check in was very cordial.

The rooms are not for truly handicapped people. No roll in shower and the staff was clueless.
Pros:

The bed was comfortable. The staff was friendly and tried to be helpful.

Cons:

The handicapped room with roll inn shower didn't have a roll in shower. It had a tiny shower that had a little el shaped entrance. No way to get a chair into. It also had no handrails to steady yourself with. How they can try to say it was a roll in shower. I was unable to take a shower while there. I don't recommend any truly handicapped people to stay there.

We enjoyed our time in Cave City.
Pros:

Clean, comfortable, the staff was great.

Cons:

The elevator broke and we had to carry our luggage down from the third floor. At least we didn’t have to carry it up😀

Comfortable bedding, but skimpy breakfast
Pros:

The location is great, right off I 65. The rooms were fine and clean. The beds were very comfortable... both the mattress and sheets were very soft and comforting. The noise levels were normal for a hotel... the usual slamming of the doors from those down the hall.

The major disappointment in this hotel is their breakfast which is almost the absolute minimum amount of offerings. They call it a "hot" breakfast but the only hot item offered is waffles. Other offerings were limited to 2 flavors of yogurt, 2 cereals with milk (pitcher), apples, coffee, tea, and only apple juice. The orange juice was out of order. This is enough to get my day started and get me on the road but it's not something I would look forward to when looking for another hotel stay in the area. My husband would have absolutely been disappointed as he doesn't like waffles, yogurt, or fruit loops... good thing he wasn't with me this time. It would be so easy for the hotel management to add boiled eggs or breakfast bars... or even muffins... but despite multiple bad reviews because of the breakfast alone, they choose to keep the breakfast on the bare minimum/skimpy side.
