We were accused of leaving burn holes in the sheets and charged $250. There was never a lit cigarette in the room so that is a lie. Speaking with customer service did no good. I feel like it’s just another way to rob the customer. I am very upset at the accusation and won’t revisit or recommend to friends.

It was a nice room, the only downfall was the A/C unit kept messing up so it got very hot in the room, when I called the front desk they did immediately send someone and they did fix the issue; but then all nite the unit made this horrible noise everytime it kicked on. Other then that it was nice

From the checkin with Cassandra (also had previously spoken by phone with Cassandra prior to arrival to make a room location request, she was wonderful then, too) and Alyssa (newbie staff trainee) along with asking advice with front desk Karli the next night(she gave us excellent directions and suggestion about other local places to visit) the 2 Welcome Center staff members (forgot to note names), the lodge restaurant hostess, waitress and cook (such a great experience of service with quality and quantity of the food- lightly corneal coated fish dinner one of best), Bat cave tour guide Jamison (such an excellent job with her fun interaction with the us while delivery on an amazing education of cave history) everyone was superbly dedicated above and beyond to make sure our experience at Carter Caves was memorable not only for the uniqueness of the beautiful wonders of the 7 natural bridges ( also told by Cassandra to take the short trail behind the welcome center to the largest natural circular bridge, if you only visit one, because of its extended size and curvature with walk thru ability it’s more picturesque) and the different cave options to tour, all set in the beautiful Eastern Hills of Kentucky….. the trip became so much more enhanced and delightful with the generosity of the experiences we had with every interaction with the staff whom genuinely feel like they are welcoming you into their home and family for a few days! Wonderful experience especially memorable!

I reserved a pet friendly room and no where did it say anything on hotels.com that there was a $30 added pet fee but I was charged it anyway. When I checked out the manager said it was there and showed me but I would have seen it the way it’s right next to pet friendly by room name. I’m sure she went in and added it before I spoke with her.
