The hotel seemed quite humid and not well ventilated. We’ve stayed there multiple times and never felt this way.

Room decor was well done.
Not only was the room poorly cleaned, there was crud in the elevator and the track for the door. Yucky!

This hotel is literally right off of the highway (65) so very convenient. Breakfast was good. They even had a pork-free sausage option which was amazing for our family. A few spiders near/under the AC unit (since we had to unplug and plug it). AC does kick on and off throughout the night instead of staying on but we visited during a heat wave too! Overall, I would recommend and stay again.

I liked the conjoining rooms and the size of the rooms. We do wish there was a laundry room for guests. We were in a storm the first night and none of our sweatshirts ever dried out. Also pool could use more chemicals..

I got a great deal on Expedia and you get what you pay for. The room was good - beds were comfortable, OK as far as clean - there were some spots that weren't great, but for the price we were OK with that. The breakfast was pretty good. The staff was very friendly.

The staff were very friendly and courteous, the room was clean, comfortable and quiet. We were right across from the pool but it wasn't noisy at all. The breakfast was good, but food ran out quickly. We would stay here again.

Not much to chose from in Horse Cave for lodging. Recommend going to a larger city with more choices.
