We didn’t check in until midnight and left the next morning on your next stop. It was great for a quick overnight stay. Breakfast is lacking though.
Katherine
It was ok
But it could have been C. leaner. The floors was not very clean it made my socks dirty.

Parking was okay, the room was clean overall but could’ve used more towels and washcloths without having to request some.
RUSSELL
Property was very clean and it has a great location.
while not the fault of the complex or management, there was a street carnival about a mile away that did not end until about 12:30am. the music was terribly loud. i cant imagine what it was like closer to it

Andrea
Our room wasn’t anything extra but it did the job. We had a mini fridge and microwave and a place to sleep. Bathroom was clean. Blankets could be thicker. But it was great for a late night stay after a concert. Will stay again for our next concert.
Peggy
I wish the refrigerator had a freezer.
Margaret
Ok
Marcela
Buen precio
Semelha
The room was extremely clean! The staff was very accommodating and friendly. We were able to park in front of our room which made it very convenient with the rain and storms. Breakfast wasn’t mentioned when we checked in and out, so we missed it. Would highly recommend and will stay there upon returning. The rate was very good for the accommodations. 😀
carolyn
easy to find
Angela
Not so good. Floors were filthy. Towels and wash rags were literal rags. 1night the bathroom door didn't shut. The AC rattled. We got no sleep. All flat square pillows, dirty bathtub with soap and shampoo from previous guest. We got a new room, My ESA dogs are Halal, I guess because they were freaking out every time they saw them and telling me what the rules were for dogs and they weren't allowed. They had my ESA papers but didn't understand. It was a disaster. The second room was filthy. We spent 3 nights. Breakfast was bread, toaster, two cereals, gross yogurt, orange juice, milk, coffee, and dollar store sticky buns. Never again would I go there. I didn't expect luxury, but I expected respect for my service animals and clean floors. I took pictures. I'm pissed. Not even a partial refund offered.
Jeffrey
Dont expect much. Not the fanciest place but it was clean. You can tell it is an old establishment that has been remodeled on a budget. Overall not a bad place
Shaunda
no breakfast offered
Ralph
Close to downtown and several distilleries. The manager was very helpful and considerate. It is and updated older property that is clean and well maintained.
Christine
The location is really good, the room was clean.
Ron
Clean and good service.
Carol
Room was nice and clean
Mandy
The room seemed and smelled clean, no carpet on the floors, laminate flooring instead and the walls look like they were newly painted. Crawled into bed to find a bug crawling across the sheets, looked closer and found another dead bug. Pulled everything off the bed and the sheets had little brown spots on them. Pulled apart the other bed and it seemed fine. Slept with all our clothes on. Don’t know if it was bed bugs since we did not get bit at all that night.
Joseph
A small area for breakfast. No hot meals available. Parking was okay. Room table top was a little dusty, had to use wipe. okay for a lower price.
Elizabeth
Only continental breakfast - not full hot - should say si in info. All in all a very good value for the price. Located conveniently to everything.
TRISH
Clean, great for the price and location.
Tony
We enjoyed the location of the property and it was recently updated so it felt safe and clean. So much yo do in the town we will ho back when we have more time to explore.
Ralph
Breakfast was OK just limited, HVAC worked fine.
Amanda
Clean room. I will definitely stay there again
David
Not a high-end hotel but you can't beat the price if you are just passing through for the night. The room was clean, parking was easy, and it was a short distance from the sites.
Dale
Clean room, good water pressure. great value
jeffrey
Good, clean rooms. Very well priced. Although staff at Check-in not very friendly. You get the feeling your an inconvience to them…should be more welcoming.
Bruce
Clean room, owner is very nice and so helpful!! We stay here as often as possible
David
Very clean and staff is very nice!
Richard
Clean room, pool closed, no staff to speak of
Jim
Bed wasn’t comfortable. Noisy surroundings.
Sarley
A warm welcome to this establishment lead to a quaint clean room.
Adrienne
The owners could not have been lovelier and more accomodating.
Mary
The property was okay, and the stay was good. my problem was when checking in. The tables in front of the check-in window was STUPID. I couldn't hear the girl checking me in because of the other people in the room waiting to be checked in because I was to far away from her because of the tables.
Mark
Clean and comfortable, definitely worth the price! I've stayed here for years when I go to Bardstown.
jeff
Good budget option
Comfortable motel style rooms, renovated. Pool was inviting. Good bargain and pleasant stay in Bardstown.

Robert
An outdated motel
Don’t stay here. It is an outdated motel. The AC’s are so loud that they keep you up at night and so inefficient that they barely cool down the room. The only thing walkable is a McDonalds - you can walk into historic downtown but it’s about a mile each way. The channel selection on the TV is very basic. Breakfast is very basic. It’s an old motel in need of renovation and it is not a pleasant place to stay. No safe in the room and no electronic key cards, just an old fashioned key so I would not leave anything valuable in the room. The only nice thing about it is the pool and the fact that it is within easy driving distance of a couple of great distilleries, but there are much nicer places to stay in the area.
PATRICK
This is an older hotel. It has been kept up rather well. It is conveniently located across My old Kentucky home. A very nice place to stay. There is not much to the continental breakfast. Would stay here again.
Bonnie
The stay was quiet the pool was fantastic and very clean. We enjoyed the stay.
Jess
Smelled terrible an ac didnt work, loud people outside at the pool and i was told this was the last room available an that was not true. I would have left had the money not already been taken from my account.
Virginia
It was very convenient to The Stephen Foster Theater.
Paul
The 4th
We picked the motel for the location after reading previous reviews. We walked directly across the street to My Old Ky Home State park.
The room was very clean, updated, and photo was accurate. Staff was friendly.
The pool was clean and had plenty of seating with umbrella tables.
Great value. Location and a simple free breakfast included.

MARTHA
Very old, looks like people are living there even had the laundry hanging outside on the rails.
Mark
Rode up for the Hoka Hey Rendezvous, and looking at comparable prices, was a little concerned as it was less than half the cost.
For sure, this is a motel facility, but what a pleasant surprise. Super clean, convenient, and incredibly charming. The staff were amazing and friendly.
Sometimes it's the perfect match - a quaint, cozy, friendly place. Not to take anything away from a larger chain, but they can be sterile.
And you just can't beat the price! Super happy and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The price. The owner and his family were great. Always seeing if we needed anything and if we were ok. It’s just outdated.
Kristin
Perfect for a quick overnight trip.
Darla
We were told after getting in the pool and my grandson swimming for sometime that the pool was not yet opened due to health department not inspecting it yet. When ask why it wasn't locked with a sign on it management got very rude and stated everyone should know the pools in Bardstown did not open until after June 1st.
Mark
A good place to rest and relax.
Verified traveler
Guy was rude about mix up in dates. He made cry. I felt like I was a criminal. He slightly raised his voice to me. He was not nice. His wife was super nice, when I checked in. They called me in room, come back to office.
Barb
It was not so great in my opinion. 1 packet of sugar. 2 washcloths so in morning none for baths. 2 hand towels. No Kleenex. Office locked in morning for checking out.
JAVIER
Great stay!
Amazing stay, provides everything they stated in the listing.
Charles
A great budget hotel when visiting Bardstown. Close to everything. Clean and has very comfortable beds. Only downs were lack of a comfortable chair and a “low rider” commode. Minor things.
Veronica
Very good location in Bardstown
Gisela
Clean , friendly and local
Melinda
The staff was good to work with, would stay here again!
Verified traveler
Gives off a murder vibe. But its cheap and clean and the beds are comfortable
Staci
It is a small, independently owned motel. It was clean and comfortable.
Jamin
A/C and heating unit kept cutting off and on more than it should have and woke me up multiple times
Bryan
This was a completely terrible experience. First the day I was going to check in the hotel manager called me to ask me whattime i was giing to arrive. Then i was informed that there may not be staff on hand to check out with so I should lock my key in my roomwhen checking out.
When i arrived the front desk couldn't find my prepaid reservation. After calling someone on the phone all in a language I couldn't understand they found my reservation. I went to the room and dropped of my luggage and went to eat. When i came back i inspected the room and it was filthy. Hair in the sheets, the floor was slick, there were stains all over the matress. The towels had streaksof something on them like it didnt come out in the wash. The sheets were tissue paper thin. At this point I didnt want to fight again in a foreign language so i just checked out and left.

Covers the basics & it's clean but that's it. My room had no tissues & no iron. I was in town on business & couldn't iron the outfit I packed.
It's allergy season & there were no tissues.
The blankets aren't much thicker than tissues but that isn't any help.
To make matters worse, I had a family emergency & had to leave a day early and when I was checking out, the front desk staff tells me, 'Well, you booked online thru a third party site and we've already paid them their commission.'
Ok, sure, I get that. But I was literally going back because a family member was in a medical crisis. Don't make my early check out about *your commission*.

Bathroom
The toilet was too small and uncomfortable. Toilet seat moved while sitting on it.
Michael
We were expecting southern hospitality. Instead, we had to search for someone to check us in. Finally, we were checked in with out on smile to be seen.
Thankfully, the room was clean, and the location is perfect. Just don't have high expectations.

If you want a good bed in a nice location with no big frills but quiet and comfortable, this place is for you.
Christelle
I room was quiet and clean. The air conditioner was very cold, but a little bit loud. The pool was already closed for the season. A little too early. There were many guests who would have enjoyed a swim on the 90° day
Steven
the place was great for being so close to the Kentucky Bourbon Fest. Its old though. Nothing fancy. But, TV worked. AC worked GREAT. and shower was strong and hot all day. Toilets are extremely low.
Stephen
The rooms are better than expected gauging from the outside of the building. Came into town for a bourbon weekend. The festival was going on so places were scarce. The rooms are older but have been updated. The tv is small and not a smart tv so you can’t stream and no real premium channels. Bypassed breakfast because it is in the small lobby area. It served it purpose but would not be one I would hunt down to stay at again.
Bridget
I booked online and they had the audacity to tell us next time pay inside, and stop paying online. we like to save money, that’s what the app is for. Checkout time is not 11 it’s more like 9:30-10 and sometimes if they are feeling nice it’s 10:30. But the place itself is nice. Well kept up with and clean.

It is an older hotel that has been updated. It was relatively clean except for the floors that needed a good cleaning. My white socks were dirty from walking on the vinyl plank flooring at night. In the morning, I wiped lots of dirt off my feet before putting on my shoes.

Great water pressure. Quiet environment despite being on a main highway. Very clean. The staff keeps the pool neat and tidy. My only complaint is that the beds weren’t very comfortable. Everything else was great!
Denis
I rented a room with 2 queen beds with Expedia. The room had 2 double beds. My mistake was using Expedia.
sherri and mike
This hotel is dirty. There was a stain of some sort behind the toilet…disgusting. Our sheet had eyelashes, hair and a small blood spot on it. I did speak to the owners and they changed the sheets immediately but along with the dirty bathroom, I was just uncomfortable staying in this hotel.

Surley Service
The owner/front desk was not very friendly. Perhaps they aren’t in Pakistan or India wherever he was from but in American we like service with a smile. I can spend my money anywhere. I do not have to repeat visit someplace with a front desk clerk that has no business in the hospitality industry.
Rae
The hotel is older, it wasn’t bad it just wasn’t great. The beds were not good, my back was hurting after the weekend! There was no breakfast provided on Saturday of our stay. It was a nice price, just needs some updates.
Ken
Hotel right across the street from the Old Kentucky Home State Park. It was a 0.5 mile walk from the center of Bardstown in a quiet area. It is not fancy. The manager is very friendly and helpful. It is close to many distilleries. It is reasonably priced.
Edwin
The property was clean enough, but no frills. Beds were comfortable and breakfast was simple but more or less what we expected so we're happy with it.
Daniel
It was very close to the big distilleries, that was very nice! Otherwise very average motel.
