Super 8 Cave City

Yuk yuk yuk!!! The smell of
mold, the stained carpet. Mold actually growing on floor by tub and 2 LIVE spiders, just to name a few things. $ 30 is too much let alone the $ 55 we paid. We didn’t bother with breakfast, we just wanted to get out.

This was an unplanned stop for us and it turned out pretty good. We had wanted to stay at the park but found out there was no food service so decided to stay in town rather than drive back and forth to eat. First we tried the Best Western — the lobby smelled so smokey and she quoted a price $ 20 more than this Super 8. No discounts for AARP or AAA. Our room here was freshly painted and clean. It is an older building, but for a nights sleep it wasn’t too bad. Close to the park and a decent breakfast for a good price.

Cave city Kentucky, bed bug found, stay at own risk!!! we got our refund and got the hell out!!!

Bugs, bugs, bugs. There were some small dead roaches in our bathroom and on the carpet and also a few other dead bugs. I was just confused why the bathroom corner wasn’t swept/​clean and why certain areas of the room seemed to be unvaccuumed. After that I was really paranoid about other critters like bed bugs, etc. which there were NOT. Still not fun to find roaches in your room when you first arrive. Staff was very friendly at the front desk. The breakfast was pretty bad. I didn’t expect much, but it was worse than I expected. I realize it’s a Super 8 so I can’t have very high expectations. But this is a pretty darn expensive Super 8 so I definitely feel a bit duped.

We had booked into the Mammoth Park, but they had us in a cabin, with no air conditioning in 95 degree weather because we travel with our dog. This hotel was available, allowed pets and was an easy stay. Betty at front desk was friendly, helpful and gave us good advice on where to get dinner. I had an issue with WIFI, she assisted with it easily. The room was clean, ask for extra towels if you need them. The only issue I saw was that the carpet needed to be shampooed. If the need arose again, we would stay there. It was a cheap easy sleep. Thanks for making it happen.

The rate was too high IMO. 51 bucks woth military discount. I asked the lady why the rates were so high in this area she said it was the offseason. I said off season for what. She said the caves are a big attraction and rates are higher in season… sure I guess just needed a place to rest for 8 hours. Got in the room and there was a hole in the wall made by a previous guest furniture was in bad condition wifi was slow my cell service was actually faster and the TV was bad quality. Only good thing was the shower was hot. Got a knock on the door at 530 in the morning. Some guy was walking around all the doors and knocking on them. I mentioned that to the front desk when I left. His response was maybe he forgot what room was his… I guess that could be true but I wasn’t particularly happy getting woken up that early. If you’re just passing through Kentucky keep driving past the mammoth cave exit and find a nicer room for less $$

We stayed here last minute to do cave tours the next day and I really wish we had stayed in our car! I am a smoker but the room reeked so bad of smoke, it was nasty. But since it was a holiday weekend and another event going on we had no choice. We paid $ 127, which is outrageous, for an old outdated, barely clean room. But the worst part was the bed bugs that were in our bags when we left! I found them alive, crawling! Save yourself the aggravation and go elsewhere!

We didn’t even stay. Check in excited for Mammoth Cave tours. We reserved a non-​smoking queen bed room. The desk attendant was aloof and the room was AWFUL. The room doors face outside. The room itself looked like a bad 1970s movie was filmed there. And it reeked of smoke. The carpet was dirty and the furniture looked like it was from a flea market. We immediately got our $back and went next door and got a great room for less $!!

This property is as good as can be expected for a budget-​conscious traveler. Of note, was the easy access off the freeway, the ample parking, the exterior entrances to rooms and the clean and well stocked breakfast area. Additionally, the staff was friendly and helpful. During our stay we encountered an issue beyond the control of the management. Sean, the general manager, handled it effectively and beyond my expectations. That was refreshing change of pace!

I just returned from a nine day road trip and this is by far the best hotel that I encountered. The staff was extremely friendly, the room was clean, and the breakfast was fresh and delicious. I never expect much when checking in to a discount motel chain, but the Super 8 in Cave City exceeded all expectations. If you’re in town to check out the Mammoth Cave, check in to this Super 8.

Absolutly one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed at. Needs torn down and completely rebuilt. Not one good thing here, even the pool is horrible. Breakfast is nothing more than frozen food, and watered down juice.

I’m giving this place 1 star in hopes that others will not make the same mistake I did.
On our way to Gatlinburg, TN for vaca, my husband wanted to go to Cave City for Mammoth Cave tours. We have 2 small dogs (both under 10 lbs) & this was the least expensive place on the Cave City strip.
This place is expensive. I paid $ 80 online not knowing what we were getting. They charged me $ 20 for my dogs so $ 100 + tax. When we got there it was 100 degrees outside & of course the pool was closed (it was August). The front desk «staff» consisted of a woman who i think was high on crack. She was abrupt & acted annoyed by my being there & then gave us a handicapped room. We are not handicapped so we had to park away from the room as the space next to it was handicapped. Honestly all the rooms around us were the only ones used so i think they were just trying to keep all rooms used together so it would be easier on them to clean, etc.
The room had a fridge, microwave & small flat screen that all worked. It was kind of dirty, the bathroom had hairs on the floor, the corners were really dirty, that kind of thing. The room was really LIVED in as the doors all seemed loose, the curtains didn’t work very well & the room was UNBEARABLY hot when we got there but it was 100 degrees outside — still they just rented the room you would think they would turn the air on at some point during the day. We got there at 5p.
Breakfast the next day was sufficient. Nothing great & they obviously didn’t want to put out much food… the front desk staff that day was much friendlier & greeted us.
Overall barely a 1 star experience WOULD NEVER GO BACK & NEVER STAY AT A SUPER 8 AGAIN!

$ 90.00 a night for disgusting old room. Chose this place because I was exhausted from driving and the neighboring hotels had long lines to check in. I was a little sticker shocked by the price but I had been up for over 36 hours and was returning from a funeral. Go in the room and it smelled like mildew… this is common problem with low end hotels so i didn’t flip about it. Put on my swim trunks went to the pool (it was a crappy pool but was not expecting much anyway), came back to take a shower and noticed the bottom of the tub was dirty (black). I’m starting to get a little mad because yeah it’s the Super 8 but come on for 90 bucks it should be the best Super 8 in the country. Anyway, I shower with sandals on cause I’m a problem solver and didn’t feel like arguing. Kick back watch some TV and then pulled back the sheets to find stray pubic hairs, and faded stains on the sheets. The blanket was an old army blanket died dark green to match the 80’s décor. Now I’m disgusted. I sat there a minute thinking what to do. I couldn’t get a refund cause I had checked in 2 hours earlier but there is no way I could sleep in soiled sheets which is also a risk indicator for bed bugs.
I checked out drove for a few more hours to Nashville and checked in at a Marriott (which was cheaper!!!)
Honestly I say F this place and their staff. i feel taken advantage of and screwed. It is the last time Super * or any other brands get any money from me.
