The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was clean and fresh towels and linens were available when ever needed.
I do enjoy sleeping in and my room was on the street side which did wake me earlier then I would have preferred. I would have requested a room farther in the back had I known the road was that busy.

Tamika at the front desk is fantastic and knowledgeable Easy check in Lisa is amazing in the large clean breakfast room with a great selection of fresh food and coffee she also seems to be on top of room care which appears newly remodeled but I believe it’s because Lisa is caring for the details so we’ll

The fantastic location, just a stone's throw away from downtown Bardstown, adds an unparalleled charm to our stay. Navigating the area is a breeze, making our travel experiences even more enjoyable. The hotel's well-lit surroundings create a warm and secure atmosphere, casting a brilliant glow that enhances our sense of safety during the enchanting nights.
While the bathroom is on the compact side, what adds to the coziness is the relatively low ceiling height, which might be a bit snug for my liking.

For the daily rate paid this place is excep. The room had all the amenities and was clean with good lighting. We even had a comfy recliner. The included breakfast was very good for the night rate. The motel is located just 6 blocks from the city center.
Normally we prefer hotel to motel but this motel was great.

What's not to like!!!! We've stayed here before. The property is kept very clean. The breakfast... well, could have had bacon instead of sausages, but I LOVE the waffle maker!! Since the last time we stayed here (2013), I noticed a bidet has been installed on the toilet... nice! The room was kept very clean. The desk staff was very friendly and helpful. Definitely will stay here on our next visit!
There was nothing that I didn't like!

Overall, I really enjoyed our stay. Nothing super fancy, but everything was on point. Breakfast was pretty alright, some of the options were lackluster at times (ex: overdone biscuits, very mushy eggs) but there were plenty of options to choose from, besides the mini mart almost literally next door. This time our room was next to the laundry room, which was very convenient, and surprisingly quiet despite being by a high traffic area. Our room was very clean, and spacious for the price; staff was very friendly and accommodating at all times. I've stayed here a few times before with family (we're local and sometimes stay for the pool in the summer) and it's always been a good experience. The hotel is also incredibly convenient, being a fairly short walk from downtown. You really can't beat it.

the room was clean as well as the bed linen. close to Stevens fosters restaurant.
room was a bit small. its a older property so the rooms are a bit small as far as wheelchair access it real tight to get around in the rooms. the showers have grab bars, but the bathroom itself is really too small for wheelchair access.

Great location and was very easy to get in and out of area. The room was very clean and had a large TV with Directv . The bathroom had shampoo, conditioner and body wash right in the shower that made things so handy! There was a fridge and microwave in room and also a coffee maker. Check in was fast and friendly.
Mattress might need replacing but wasn't so bad that i couldn't sleep!

The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good.
There was a large group that hung out by the pool and smoked. Our room was located in this area. i would prefer a non-smoking property.

I. Liked being on the ground floor. Able to walk outside and sit at a table outside my room
The cleaning staff… there were two different teams.. one was fantastic. The last crew was horrible They made the bed like a 5 year old and the floors were soaked like they did it with a mop straight from the bucket They threw the blanket on the bed in a ball I stayed a a week and they advertise a continental breakfast… it’s far from that there isn’t even a staff member there. I didn’t eat it. I drank the coffee it was tbe cheapest breakfast you could make without everyone computer but we complained to each other about it Overall I’d give the whole stay 2.5 stars
