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.

Horse Cave Motel is for many reasons the place I wish my parents had taken me when I was a child, and where I wish I'd taken my children when they were young. Ideally located in the center of one of the most unique geographical locations in the world, multiple opportunities for sightseeing and learning unlike anywhere else in the world. Horse Cave motel would have been perfect for my 1970s youth, and it has retained that charming motif.

What you reserve may not be what you get!

We booked a queen room. Upon arrival we were told that all they had available were 2 doubles. We left and stayed somewhere else. Only book this place if you don’t care what type of bed you get.

Cute little motel. It felt like stepping back in time, but with modern amenities. It was so quiet in our room. Did not hear a peek all night. And we were right beside the office. The door has an actual key, with an old style keychain. The owner was friendly and made sure everything was good for our stay. If you are wanting all the luxury of a modern motel/hotel, this is not it. But if you want something cute and cozy, and a welcoming stay. Keep this one in mind.
