Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was clean & beds good. Our room was on the 2nd level along with 3 other rooms. Mostly it was quiet but a room either beside us or just beneath on the 1st level kept their TV on all night. The concrete steps from the ground to the 2nd level were too narrow in depth. When we checked out, it was raining and going down those steps was a bit risky. The motel needs to address that. It is an older motel but very clean. Just make sure you get a ground level 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.

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.
