Big Spring Inn | Hotel in Madisonville, Kentucky

“Pros: Ma and Pa run. Inexpensive. Felt safe. Cons: Dirty… cleaned up dead roaches. Smelled bad even after I lysoled, but could have been since they put me in a smoking room. Nicotine dripped off walls.”

“I give it five stars for VALUE. Male senior citizen traveler from northern Illinois visiting family. This is not a five star hotel but everything worked. It was feel like 100° in Madisonville Kentucky when I arrived and the air-conditioning was set at 72 for my arrival. The Wi-Fi was good. The refrigerator was quite large in my room. A lot of room in the freezer area also. There were plenty of offerings for viewing on the television. Excellent water pressure for the shower. A microwave is provided, but I never used it. I consider the room clean. The furniture had some wear and tear (character) and the walls some minor peeling paint, but you judge for yourself. The bed was to the firm side but I slept well. It is just off the interstate in a fairly remote area and I felt safe. Plenty of nearby restaurant options. I was there the weekend after the 4th of July 2026 for four nights and the tab came in under $300. I’ll be back. Caveat. It is in Kentucky and most of the rooms are smoking rooms. But it was one of the most pleasant smoking rooms I’ve ever stayed at. I travel with plug-ins, air freshener and candles but did not use. I’ve stayed in non-smoking rooms that weren’t as good. So maybe not for all. I’ll be back next year. Thank you staff.”

“Staff was very friendly and helpful for the price I paid it was as good or better than could be expected”

“Great place to spend the night nothing fancy but clean , affordable , and in a good area. Coffee in the room would have been nice but the manager did sell some canned drinks , water and a few candy bars in the office.”

“Very basic. The place smelled like weed the entire time. Drywall missing in bathroom and ceiling was falling in a couple areas.”

“Easy check in and out. Friendly staff”

“Great! Location in great.”

“The room was very dirty. The towels were grayish looking even though they were white. The sheets looked as if they had poop or cigarette stains. It's very run down. I would pay an extra 20 for a nicer hotel.”

“The room was clean, and surprisingly quiet, the bed was ok, I slept good, bathroom was clean but could use some updating, great water pressure and plenty of hot water. I checked the room for small occupants, and scanned the room with UV light, there were no nasty surprises found. All in all it was a nice comfortable stay, and you can't beat the price.”

“We really appreciated this property. Exactly what we wanted for a quick overnight stay. GREAT value. Room was clean, beds were comfortable. It was nice to find a place that doesn't charge sky-high rates and still provides a comfortable place to spend the night.”
