Hi, Where is the best place to stay for the Birthday Bash. Close to all the activities. WE would like to go to the Cruise In but we have a wedding that we have to go to. Thanks Jimmy

Closest place to the Museum (and plant) to stay is the Country Hearth Inn, 395 Corvette Drive, (270) 783-4443, directly across the street from the Museum. We have stayed there several times and have always been quite satisfied. Nothing fancy and the rooms are a little on the small side, but they have always been very clean. The price is right too and Museum members get a discount. To get the member's discount, you may need to call this inn direct, rather than making reservations on their website or the chain's toll free numbers. They fill up quickly for NCM events, so you need to act quickly for reservations. The Country Hearth Inns are a small chain. Here's a link to the website for the one in Bowling Green:

Hope this helps.

Alot of people stay at the Holiday Inn also. They were giving discounts to C5 registry members last year. Rooms go quick though. Very nice place

I used to stay at the Drury Inn. Free hot breakfast, free high speed internet (for staying up to date on CF), and nice rooms.

However, I liked the area so much that I am moving there next week, so no longer need a hotel!
