Top Western Kentucky University Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Bowling Green, KY

10/10 Excellent

"The breakfast was good and the hotel is fairly close to Mammoth NP. We had a suite and it was very roomy and the sofa bed was comfy. We did have an issue with the shower being the temperature of hot lava, but we talked to the front desk and they sent a maintenance guy up asap to take a look. He was able to adjust the handle so we could take a normal shower. We did check out the pool...and were a little disappointed at how chilly it was. But, overall I would stay here again."

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Bowling Green

10/10 Excellent

"The only problem was breakfast on Saturday large group came in and we didn't get much breakfast"

Wingate by Wyndham Bowling Green

8/10 Good

"Our stay at the hotel was made enjoyable by the friendliness of staff, especially Laura at the front desk. We really enjoyed chatting with her and she answered any questions we had. The one negative about our room, 406, was that there was no towel rack in the bathroom, which we thought was very odd."
