Bowling Green: Historic RailPark & Train Museum Entry & Tour
"The check in staff and the breakfast staff were amazingly kind and professional. Breakfast bar was complete with pizza, quiche, waffles, coffee, juice, cereal, bagels, muffins and toast. My kiddos favorite was the parfait bar! The room was clean and spacious. Only complaint was the pool was empty and closed. We didn't stay long enough to use it but I only book hotels with pools for my kids in case we need to burn energy."
"Breakfast had a variety of foods. But breakfast area smelling of bacon. Also could smell bacon on third floor. Was upset that there was no coffee maker in room. Was not informed of this decision upon check-in so that was very disappointing I had to go down to breakfast area for coffee. I understand saving the planet there are coffee pods that are environmental friendly. I will need to pack my coffee maker. And was very unhappy that my room was not made up. They could come in and...
"The bed was very comfortable, the breakfast was fantastic. ( eggs, sausage, biscuits, gravy, fruit, oatmeal, cereal, waffles etc. I also like that they had alcohol drinks for $1 in the evening at 530 as well as free fajitas! The location is great. IHOP on one side, Outback on the other and right next to the interstate. It's only 10 min from The Lost Cave and 45 min from Mammoth Cave."
"Receptionist was terrible. Immediately told me I didn’t have a confirmation when I had it in my hand. She didn’t take time to search. Told me hotel was full. Very rude. I did have a room but was very put off by front desk."
