I've stayed at the Super 8 the past three trips to Bowling Green. It is located between the NCM and the plant. Nothing fancy, but relatively new, and clean.

You'll love it. Call the museum and they will give you recommended hotels close by and help you with all the info. There are a couple of hotels to stay away from but some good ones also.

Have a GREAT time!

There are several hotels to choose from a couple exits from the Corvette Museum on Scottsville Rd. Next weekend there will be several corvettes in town for The National Corvette Homecoming at the Holiday Inn off of Scottsville Rd. at the Sloan Convention Center.

Like Joe and hawk, I like the Super 8. It's right in between the museum and the plant, has decent rooms, friendly staff, and isn't overly expensive. Have a great trip!

My first trip to the museum was this past Monday. Stayed at Super 8. It's right off Exit 28 on US65 and across the street from the museum and right by the Corvette Assembly Plant. About $70. Decent room. Clean. All rooms inside as a hotel. Breakfast items included. Coffee, juice, cereal, muffins, ect. Very convenient if you're not familiar with the area.

Stay at the Hampton Inn, offical home of CFOT cruise in

It's two exits south of the museum, but closer to restaraunts etc. If memory serves me, the museum and plant are at exit 28, Hampton at exit 22.

I went to Western KY University. Say hi to the Hilltoppers for me

Oh, I have a cousin who's a cop there, just in case.

Have a great time and take the family to Mamouth Cave while you're there

Food was horrible when I ate there a few weeks ago. Everything else about the museum was great.

The food is the one and only aspect of the museum that I've found to be a letdown (and I'm not really very picky).
