Cheap and relatively clean

Place is pretty well off the beaten path. Relatively clean but could use some tlc and a little upgrading. For the price, was worth the chance.

Don’t let the price fool you, it was nice, clean and quiet. There are no fancy amenities but for the price you can go out for breakfast and still save money. I’d 100% stay here again if I ever come back to the area.

The room was very small. You only get in the bed from one side or at the end. The oversize bathroom door caused the queen bed to be too close to the wall.

Clean and basic.

The room was clean. I got everything I paid for. the room was small and didn't have any place to set me laptop. Yeah, it's a laptop, and I put it on my lap, but I do like a desk and chair in a room.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
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.

Clean and quiet. Owners are very friendly. If you are just wanting a place to sleep, it is perfect. Its an old hotel but was perfect for us. Very close to Mammoth Cave and hidden river cave.
