Awesome Find
Found this place by accident and will stay there anytime we are in the area. Super nice and clean. Love the little bar inside for a night cap at the end of the evening. And the staff was amazing.

Very clean hotel and room. Good bed. Good coffee. Very friendly and helpful staff. We stayed here while making several stops at distilleries on the Bourbon Trail. We’ll most definitely stay here again when we come back to Bardstown to do more of the trail. The hotel opened in Oct of 2023, so everything looks and feels new.
