Very friendly staff, always made you feel welcome. Great bourbon centric atmosphere. We arranged a tour through the Bourbon Butler, she was very helpful and quickly arranged a tour of 3 different distilleries and drove us to the distilleries. I would have liked to have seen more variety on the dinner menu the options were limited. Overall, the hotel was definitely a great place to stay nice rooms with some fun amenities. I would definitely book this hotel again!

This hotel has been in operation for a few months - it has a nice atmosphere, clean, easy access and friendly staff. Still some growing pains - service was friendly but a little slow - food was excellent All rooms open to the outside - not completely dark with some outside lighting - our air conditioner was loud. Room was clean and well maintained I am sure things will improve get though the next few months

New property so everything looked great. Front Desk staff amazing, housekeeping didn't vacuum. No ice machines they provided bags of ice which left us trying to find places to keep ice. Pool area very nice but No bartender at pool bar the entire weekend. Restaurant food was over cooked.

The Trail Hotel was very nice and updated. The staff was not very knowledgeable on the area. No transportation or concierge to advise on various activities. The food was very subpar and not good. We had a view of the highway .. we checked in early and had asked for a room by the pool and was advised that it was more money. The room was $400. Overall a 3 star

The stay and property was amazing. A couple points to consider although not very big deals but something to look into...we did not have a do not disturb sign for the door and some areas in the room where not visible were very dusty. Again nothing major just something to consider. Otherwise it was a wonderful stay
