Top Hidden River Cave and American Cave Museum Hotel Reviews

Sleep Inn & Suites Cave City

8/10 Good

"We were super disappointed in the breakfast…so very limited we had to eat out everyday. A big reason for booking there was the breakfast inclusion.."

The Lodge at Mammoth Cave

8/10 Good

"Fun place to stay for families. Food sucks like most national park 3rd party contracted concessions but other than that it’s a great experience"

Hampton Inn Cave City, KY

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent New Hotel — Great Stay! We had an excellent stay at the Hampton Inn in Cave City, KY. The hotel is brand new, and it really shows. Everything was exceptionally clean, well maintained, and in great condition. Our room was spacious, with a large, comfortable bedroom and a great king-size bed. The hallways are also noticeably wider and more spacious than many hotels, which gives the entire property a very open and comfortable feel. The breakfast was excellent, with a great selection of food and everything fresh and well prepared. It was a definite highlight of the stay. Overall, this is a very nice, well-kept hotel with friendly, comfortable accommodations. We had absolutely no issues during our stay and would definitely stay here again when we're in the Cave City area. Five stars all around! Highly recommended."

Grand Victorian Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Gary & Karin were the perfect host. The house is amazing with lots of character and great Victorian decor. Enjoyed our stay so much that we plan to make this a regular stop on our antique picking trips a few times a year. Thanks for your hospitality."

Bluegrass Bliss

10/10 Excellent

"What a lovely place to stay close to Cave City! We had a great time relaxing by the fire pit after a long day of exploring nearby attractions."

Mammoth Pond - Mammoth Cave Family Retreat - Playground Sleeps 6

10/10 Excellent

"Location was perfect for our stay near Mammoth Cave. Much better than having to go a hotel. Everything we needed."

Towne Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is old and the room is small but the price is good and it was clean and quiet and completely suited my needs. The shower was amazing."

Baymont by Wyndham Cave City

8/10 Good

"Room was spacious and fairly comfortable. Overall, it was fairly quiet and a good stay. The biggest drawback was our toilet tank apparently had a slow leak so whenever it would get low enough to "refill" it would be a high-pitched squeal. This was also after every time the toilet was used. So it woke us up several times during the night. It was better the second night when we slept with the door shut."

Peaceful 2-bedroom home near Mammoth Cave.

10/10 Excellent

"This house exceeded my expectations in nearly every way. If you are going to Mammoth Cave National Park and need a well kept, spacious, and affordable place to stay, this is it. The house has 2 bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with a queen. It is ideal for two couples. It also has a large sectional with a couple of recliners built in where one or two could sleep if needed. The kitchen has all the normal amenities, and there were plenty of spare sheets, blankets, and towels. The WiFi was fast and there are three smart TV's with HDMI inputs if you need them. It's 15 minutes from the park visitors center and less than 10 from all the restaurants in Cave City. Truly, my only complaint was that I was hoping for better water pressure in the shower but it's regulated more like a hotel to save water. Not a huge deal in the total scope of things. I will absolutely stay here again if it is available next time I'm in the area."
