As a matter of fact, there is a saloon in Baltimore called The Horse You Came In On. It is the oldest continually operated tavern in North America, dating back to before the American Revolution.
In an old Bob Hope film, Bob was asked to step up to the bar. The other guy asked for a horse’s neck. When they asked Bob what he wanted, he replied, Well, no use killing 2 horses :{ )
Why such a negative interpretation? Clearly it means that, in the unlikely event that you arrived in that manner, they warmly welcome both you and the horse you rode in on.
Then there are those motor courts built in the 30s throughout the West. With those little cabins you’d drive up to. Where you wondered who had duplicate keys to your room.

It’s casual dress and dining. Wear what you can find and eat if you dare.

There’s only one thing better than a punning name for an inn, and that’s a punning name for a hair salon.

In my experience, personality generally comes with attitude, and it’s usually a bad one.

It appears that management encourages romantic encounters

Bed and Breakfast? With a name like that, wouldn’t a whore house be more appropriate (given the start of that classic statement)?

The Boot Hill Saloon has been in business in Daytona Beach since 1973.
It was named because it is across the street from an actual Cemetery.
