Worth more than the cost.

Don't judge a book by it's cover. This is not a roach motel. This is a clean place. I will stay again if I get the chance.

Met My Needs

It was an overall positive experience. A nice area and not too far from I-65. No complications. A comfortable bed. Couch was a bit hard, but other than that, I would still recommend Horse Cave Motel.

This motel is good for a night or two, but that’s it. The advertising is very misleading. The room on the advertising isn’t the room you get. There is no play ground, no room service, not even a vending machine. Our room didn’t even have a phone and you had to kick the door to get it shut all the way. The bed wasn’t comfortable, but like i said good for a night or two.

You get what you pay for

The hotel was clean and had a decent bed, that was the extent of the good. The motel had no ice machine and the AC was louder than it was cold. Hotels.com never sent me a confirmation so I rebooked. I ended up with 2 rooms. The owner did not charge me for the second room other than a $25 cash fee. It could have been worse.

Manager and family were very friendly. Room was clean and neat. Lots of storage if one needs it. Full fridge appreciated from people like us who still travel with a full cooler that needs ice refrozen and food refrigerated. Very reasonable price. Felt safe in the area. Would stay here again.

Shower and shower curtain was dirty. Air conditioner didn't work well. The man who checked us in was rude because we booked room on my Expedia account but my friend used his credit card to pay for the room.
