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.

Poor conditions
The room was dirty dead bugs on the floor have pictures. Towels had blood stains on them and there was no hand towels left I. The room had to ask for them.

Room itself wasn’t bad, however, the bathtub had a sizable constant drip and to take a shower more water ran out of the spout then coming out of the shower head!

Our stay at the Holiday Inn express was very nice. The bed was super comfortable. The room was clean. The breakfast was really good. The only suggestion I would have was the lack of shower pressure which the hotel said that they will be checking out.

The property itself is great. The staff was very kind, friendly and helpful. The room and esp. the bed was wonderful. Offered everything we needed after a long long drive. But no close by restaurants or stores and what was near was closed/deserted and very shabby, actually scarry. But hotel is great. Breakfast was wonderful
