Beautiful property with local history. Tour guides dress in period clothing and do a great job of giving you details of he family who lived here. Original furnishings add so much to how they lived. Visitors center is a wedding destination with an outdoor gazebo.

Rainy day but the sun still shines bright…..

We booked through booking.com told them we had a dog and they gave us a price. When we got there they charged the price given plus $80.00 for three nights for the dog 
I heard noises out side and it was guys working on the door panel of a truck. Tore it apart. 
They have people staying there for weeks at a time.

Be aware. Have to ring bell to get in office.

No it isn’t a national chain and exterior is a little dated, but you will not find a cleaner room anywhere. Fridge, microwave, free internet and an extremely comfortable bed. Walking distance to the downtown square!

Gem of a Find

This little gem is located within blocks of downtown Bardstown and central to many distilleries. The price was very good. Rooms are clean, comfortable bed, coffee maker, microwave and refrigerator. The staff was friendly and helpful. 

Great price 

Important to note that I have a "thing" for old, one-off motels and have long wanted to stay in a place like this but never seem to have an opportunity. This review is based on the expectation that I would be staying in one of those place and NOT in some huge corporate chain motel. If you want to stay in a room like you'll find at a Holiday Inn Express or Fairfield Inn, etc., read no further and keep driving. 

But, if you're looking for a trip into the past where motels were run by the owners and you can park in front of your own clean, comfortable room and use a real key to open the door, then you'll love this place. From what I could tell, the only thing missing was the paper strip across the toilet seat that says "Sanitized for Your Protection." And, it was all real - not decorated to simulate an old, roadside motel for your nostalgia experience. An actual old, road-side motel. 

Late check-in does require summoning the desk manager by ringing a bell outside the office, but the manager showed up quickly and got us checked in without any glitches or delays. (Which was good because it was a little cool outside for my taste.) He handed us our room KEYS (yes, actual keys on those old elongated diamond-shaped key rings with your room number on them!) and told us the direction to our rooms. We had three rooms. Not much else to say except that all three rooms were clean and comfortable with updated climate control and flat screen TVs (so not 100% authentic, but good luck finding an old tube TV that still works). And, this motel is in the heart of Bardstown so every convenient to everything in the area. 

I do not recall seeing a guest laundry or ice machine - we were only there for one night, but those may have been tucked away down the hall next to the office where the vending machines were located. No breakfast. In fact, there's no food service on the premises, but there is a restaurant right across the street. This motel is not for everybody (which is good because I hate it when I place that I like gets over-run) but if you're looking for an old-fashioned motel which is still reputable and clean, this is for you.

Classic Old Roadside Motor Inn!

Booked this online because we are traveling for the holidays with our cat we didn’t want to leave home alone. It reads on internet they are pet friendly but when we arrived to check in they only allow dogs so they canceled our reservation when I told them we had a cat! So be aware, it’s our first trip with an animal and I won’t make this mistake again, we are now staying at Hamilton,much  nicer room and $50 pet fee but they have us a discount on our room plus a free breakfast. 
I will stay at Hampton Hotels from now on. 

Passing through 

Outdated, Needed new curtains and paint ,Window sills very molded dirty key ring ,No Breakfast options,Room was Clean and They were very friendly here and gave us a gift bag with water and snacks .If your looking for frills and complimentary Breakfast Look elsewhere.very over priced! ($90+)

Nice place to stay, very clean.  The hotel allows pets at an extra charge.  Was close the 1792 distillery, no charge for the tour.  Was not to close to the road and able to walk to downtown, but is a bit of a distance.

This isn't where I intended to stay, but we were making up our itinerary as we went, and because we only decided to stay in Bardstown a couple of days before we got there, my first choice was fully booked. We needed two rooms for three nights, this place had them, and it was inexpensive. What could go wrong?

Those are famous last words. There's really no limit to what could go wrong. In this case, nothing did; it all went right. I knew from the pictures that the furnishings were retro ("old," my son would say) and this wasn't a modern facility. But the rooms were clean, cozy, and my daughter immediately fell in love with the plaid bed coverings, which she decreed "soft and cozy." There was no breakfast included, but at the price, I wouldn't have expected any. There was no pool and no hot tub. But there was a swinging bench and chairs on the front lawn, we were an easy walk to the city center, and most important to my son, there was internet. The bathrooms were clean and in good repair.

I'm tempted to give it only four stars; the young man working the front desk, while very efficient, seemed inexplicably annoyed. We stayed two nights, and his annoyance never seemed to lift. But he was polite, and he had us supplied with extra towels when we asked, and for all I know, he had four flat tires on his car the day we checked in, so I won't hold his annoyance against him. And I really did like the place. I'd stay there again. 

I wouldn't eat breakfast at the buffet across the street, though. It was overpriced and not very good. If I remembered its name, I'd review it separately, but I'll just warn you here: Don't eat there if you want good food at a good price.

An unexpectedly good find, and not just for the price

This motel was a wonderful place to stay. The staff was efficient and friendly. The room was immaculate and appeared to have been renovated recently. The beds were very comfortable with lots of pillows. Towels were of good quality and the bathroom was well stocked.
There is a convenience store right across the street and nice restaurants are within walking distance.  I strongly recommend staying here if you are in Bardstown.
