The 10 best Motels in Kentucky, United States

April 18, 2023 Roseanne Arnett

Famous for Bourbon Country and horse farms, civil war battlefields and beautiful natural parks, Kentucky offers a delightful mix of experiences. You might begin in Lexington, where the 1200-acre Kentucky Horse Park is a popular attraction. The university adds exciting sports, impressive art and a vibrant student/professor population to the city. Louisville is similar, where renowned Churchill Downs hosts the annual Kentucky Derby and the Belle of Louisville, the nation’s oldest steam-driven river paddlewheeler, hosts enchanting lunch and dinner cruises along the beautiful Ohio River. Next, head south to visit Mammoth Cave National Park for a day of touring the cave (the world’s longest known cave), hiking and canoeing on the Green River. Paducah, Berea, Bowling Green – so many places to explore and enjoy!

Ok in a pinch

Reviewed By jspencer911

This hotel had the makings of a high quality facility. However, the noise level during the day/evening was too loud. The only way to alleviate this issue is to get more insulation in the walls, doors that don't slam when shutting. The pool was dirty. I could see hair and water looked milky. In door pools should not be so cold you can't get in the water without having body shock.

Would never stay again. Or recommend to any family or friends. Pictures on website do not match what you get. AC was broke. Waffle maker for breakfast was broke. Only hot items was eggs and sausage and once you saw those there is no way you would want to eat them. The lock in the Lobby to the parking lot/main entrance looked like it had been kicked in.

Comfortable beds

Reviewed By Fun2Travel4life

Very comfortable beds. Quiet … but we were on the top floor away from the elevator. Front desk greeter at check-in was a little abrupt, unfriendly. Didn’t look up to see I was standing there while she was waiting for another guest to come back in. Check-out person was very friendly. I would stay here again. Beans cafe and bakery down the street had wonderful food for dinner.

Do not stay

Reviewed By J8051LYamyl

First, they charged us $15 for canceling, giving a credit. We tried to book with the decreased credit, 4 days later, on a Thursday. Then, they raised the price from $108 to $150, before taxes and fees. All their Inflexible rules make it senseless to rebook with them on the one time we will ever be passing back through towards Minnesota. It’s all a scam. Save yourself a hassle and save yourself money by choosing someplace else’s to stay.

We had a great night at this Days Inn last night starting with our courteous greeting from Nadine. She gave us the perfect room, room 101. It was a king bed room. We had our dog and the area to exercise him was directly across from our room. Shortly after we got settled in our room Nadine called our room to check in that our room met our needs! Class act for this type of lodging. Thanks to Megan for her great housekeeping and for having coffee ready at 5:00 AM!
