Top Bardstown Hotel Reviews

The Trail Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice and clean overall. The property definitely feels more upscale, but it also felt a little out of place for us and isn’t exactly kid-friendly. Some of the corners of the property could use a good cleaning, although the pool was really nice. Our shower backed up, but the room itself was nice and they fixed it once we let them know. The amenity fee on top of the room charge was also a little annoying. I’d say it’s worth the weekday price, but not the weekend price. Don’t get me wrong—it’s a nice property, just not really for us."

Distill-Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel. I would stay here again and recommend it to friends who travel through the area."

Bardstown Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Only downfall is that it was difficult to get towels and there’s no breakfast."

Jailer's Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Staying at the Jailer’s Inn was a great experience! The staff were wonderful, it was comfortable, and breakfast was good. Enjoyed the brief tour they give of the property!"

Talbott Inn

10/10 Excellent

"From the moment we walked, we knew this was a special place. Our room was spacious, bed was comfortable, and bathroom was pristine. We also enjoyed the breakfast each morning. The location of this inn is perfect, walking distance to downtown, bars, shops, restaurants. Don’t miss dining in the restaurant for dinner, that was a lovely experience too."
