What guests think

At Sleep Inn & Suites Cave City, travelers frequently highlight very clean rooms, friendly staff, comfortable beds, and a convenient location for Mammoth Cave visits, while noting a very limited breakfast, a tiny pool, and periodic elevator outages.

Rooms are generally modern and spacious with comfortable layouts and popular hot-tub suites, though several guests mention small TVs, noise from other rooms or doors, and occasional maintenance or Wi‑Fi issues. Service is widely described as welcoming and helpful, but a minority report slow check‑in, inconsistent problem resolution, or billing and cancellation frustrations. Overall, it suits travelers seeking a straightforward overnight stop near the park.

It was a clean budget friendly hotel. Nothing special but was very clean. The pool was extremely small and did need a good clean -had an algae tinge to water. Breakfast was very lacking. No toast, muffins or bagels of any sort -only waffle mix. Beds were very comfortable.

Despite what the listing shows they do not have a "Gym". They have a room with a treadmill, bike and elliptical. That is, it. No weights or weight machines so unless you only want to do cardio I'd look at other hotels. Their breakfast also does not include ANY protein. Just waffles, dry cereal, and yogurt. Zero Greek yogurt, eggs or meat. For the price point go to another hotel where they give you protein and have an actual gym.

The Inn was close to Mamoth Caves, convenience stores, gas and restaurants. The gym was equipped with 3 cardio machines, but only 2 were working. The pool was a great option for kids. Nice to have breakfast, but I would have preferred some healthier options. The kids loved making waffles, I would have liked some eggs and fruit.

The front desk staff was lovely. All the interactions we had with them were top notch. It was a full house and they were amazing. The elevator went out during our stay. And we were on the 3rd floor with a million kids. Not fun. But otherwise its great. If youre coming here for continental breakfast, this isnt the one. It was clean and organized. But they only offer cereal, yogurt and make your own waffles. They did have a few options for hot tea tho which i enjoyed.

Elevator was out of service, had a wagon and a cooler to take to room with my 7yo daughter. Wasn’t told about the elevator being out of service until after receiving the room keys for a room on the 3rd floor. Had to carry the wagon with cooler up the stairs to the 3rd floor.

This location was an easy drive to Mammoth Cave. The room was clean and spacious. The pillows were very small and highly variable in consistency. Most were lumpy. The breakfast was fairly lackluster. It consisted only of waffles, cereal, and prepackaged yogurt. There might have been a few apples. The pool was very small and looked like it had a film across the top of the water. The pool area echoed considerably. I know my 3 kids can be loud, but we have not had an issue at other hotel pools.

Didn’t like how they advertised a pool and hot tub when neither we’re working!!! But still charged the same price as others that did have working pool and hot tub. Probably will not stay there again.

Out of all hotels I have stayed in the last few months this was the cleanest and that’s so important. The staff was very friendly and polite. I will definitely go back if I get the chance. There was a storm with hail and tornados in the area at the time of my stay and I felt very safe.

I had an extremely poor experience at this location without any resolution from management. I entered the room which had an extremely strong burning rubber/tar-like smell. When I reported this to the front desk, maintenance sprayed my room and cleaned out the HVAC unit for over 30 minutes to mask the strong odor. While I was not thrilled and also had a clogged sink, I was patient and hoped these were one offs. However, the next morning when changing the toilet paper roll I found a bodily-like stain on the toilet paper roll which made me dry heave for a half an hour. I immediately reported this to the front desk who shared in my horror. Despite requesting my money back, my request was denied by the regional manager who did not even speak with me directly or look at the videos and photos I had. I was told this was just rust and it was not a big deal which I heavily dispute. The next morning I also found so many stains on the furniture. My room conditions were deplorable.

When I went up to the room there was a Bobby pin in the chair but that wasn’t a big deal. The next morning I got up & took a shower & there was a wash rag in the shower curtain. I don’t know if they are suppose to change the shower curtain every time but it was not this time. That’s not the first time that has happened there. Then I go down for breakfast & they don’t even have scrambled eggs & sausage anymore. Very disappointing for the money I paid to stay there!

This is a quiet very nice place to stay. The room which was a King size suite which had a king size bed and couch in the room. It also had a desk, small refrig and microwave with a small coffee maker. The bathroom was also nice with plenty of room. The bed was very comfortable. The only negative I can say is the TV is a little smaller than my husband liked but you could watch it and we're not that big of TV fans anyway.

I did not take the room! We arrived at 2:30 p.m. and even they had enough clean rooms the staff did not check us in until 4:00 p.m. We could also not just drop off our luggage! The staff was very unfriendly! I asked the manager if she would slow to cancel the reservation without any cost and she says yes she will do it. However, when I checked my credit card the next day the whole amount was withdrawn!! I have al lot of friends going to cave city and I will make certain that nobody stays at that hotel!!

Everything was good. But then we left our room to get dinner, when we came back we couldn’t get back into our room. There was something wrong with the door. Jim who was working that night was really amazing about it and got us back into the room after an hour. He was really understanding and calm.

Booked a room at 1 pm, check in starts at 4 pm. When we arrived around 4:15, we were told our room wasn't ready so we took a seat on the couch. After about half an hour we asked again when our room would be ready and were told they hadn't even started cleaning and it would be another hour. We asked if there was any other room we could get in to and they seemed hesitant to do it since we booked with a third party but eventually they put us in another room.

As it was a very nice place,I cannot give this a good review,because I specifically asked for a room on the 1st floor,because of my wife being disabled,I talked to the lady at the front desk and was changed from a upstairs room to the first floor,I was told there would be no extra charge,but noticed a charge of $87 or so on my debit card,at checkout I confronted the man at the front desk and after he talked to his manager was told the charge would be refunded to me,that hasn’t happened yet and until that does,I can say I’m very disappointed and will not be staying at the Sleep Inn in Cave City Ky ever again.
