My mistake was not reading up on the reviews about this hotel before making reservation with Expedia. Please do not make the same mistake as I did. Review the comments before selection the right hotel.
After driving for almost 8 hours before reaching the hotel with another family w/ 4 small children, we had checked into two separate rooms. When I got to my room, I immediately noticed that the wall papers on the walls were held in place with the push pins. At that moment, I received a call from the other family that their room walls were covered in mold. I went down to their room and saw a wall paper hanging loose from the wall. After a closer inspection, I was shocked to see the wall and the wall paper completely covered with mold. I returned to my room and pulled out one of the push pins hold the wall paper and found my room to be in same sad condition with molds everywhere. We went back to the front desk and asked to be placed in different rooms but they said they did not have other rooms available due to some softball tournament and all hotels in Cave City were booked. I asked for the refund and the front desk said they couldn’t since I had made reservations with Expedia. They would have to be contacted by Expedia to process the credit and the hotel manager has to do it the next day since they were not available. I called the Expedia at that moment and told them of the situation and that our kids had allergy to molds and we could not possibly stay at this hole. The CSR requested that I call back the next morning when the manager is in to process the credit. For now, we had made arrangements to stay at the next nearest hotel that had vacancy, which was 31 miles away in Bowling Green (Quality Inn –very nice) which we ended up staying overnight.
Next morning, I called Expedia and was told to call back that afternoon since the hotel manager was not available until then. We went to Mammoth Cave and did our tour and after lunch, I called the Expedia again per their request. This time, they must have placed in on hold for 20 minutes on and off and I was finally told that they are not able to credit my account. But here is the shocker, Expedia CSR also said if the mold was the only reason why we decided not to stay at the hotel, that wasn’t good enough reason for them to refund the account. At that moment, I told them I was done talking to them and I was going to let my credit card company to dispute the charges.
When I returned from our trip, I had already received the charge dispute form from my credit company and supplied them with all the details along with the pictures of the room with loose wall paper hanging from the wall with molds.
Today, 8/25/10, I’d received a call from my credit card company saying they are not able to credit the account because Expedia company policy is not to provide credit once cancellation date has passed. My credit card company rep was more apologetic about not able to get me the credit and she also said Expedia was very rude and uncooperative.
My recommendation, do not stay at the Econo Lodge in Cave City, KY. Also, do not make reservation with Expedia. It maybe a good tool to find what you need but if you encounter any problems, you won’t find any help there.

found this hotel on the internet,when i got in my room i went in the bathroom behind the door was lots of hair i dont think the housekeeper does floors i left it there just to see in the the 3 days we were there if it was done,and it was still there,very gross.the light above the sink didnt work and the ice machines werent working and it was 90 degree weather,and there was bugs in the room also,i couldnt sleep cause i always felt like something was biting me.when i checked out i did let the manager know i wasnt happy and he was very concerned why there was hair on the floor and we werent givin any ice he bought bags of ice if anybody needed it but the girl at the desk was to busy on her cell phone,so please do yourself a favor and stay somewhere nicer cheap is not always better i found that out a couple times.

I don't know how this place got 2 stars! Run down. Trash around property never picked up. Rude manager. Stained towels. There was old coffee and grounds in my room coffee maker when I arrive and it was never cleaned while I was there. The toilet seat was cracked in half and had obviously been that way for a while. Advertized wireless didn't work.

Given Cave City's general absence of sit-down restaurants, nightlife and shopping, the Econo Lodge seems appropriate for multi-day visitors to Mammoth Cave National Park. The rates are low, a complimentary breakfast is included, free computer access is provided and there is even a pool and jacuzzi area to be savored after a long day of cave tours. Another fine Choice Hotel property for visitors that abstain from camping, yet desire a few comforts like cable television, hot water and a quality sleeping atmosphere. As the front desk clerk noted, "it gets quiet here after 9 pm."
