Food was great! I Would like to see the bar step up their drinks & drink making, especially because they are on the bourbon trail. I’ll be back, very fun hotel!

Great facility

The facility was amazing and the service was great. However the Speak Easy wasn’t open during our time there. The pool bar only was open on Sunday, these were two of the amenities that we were looking forward to.

Very beautifully renovated hotel. We are locals, but felt like we were out of town on vacation. The staff were super nice and went out of their way to accommodate our needs. We will definitely be back when we need a staycation.

This is a fantastic property. The golf simulator room was amazing and very reasonably priced. Food at the restaurant was excellent. The gift shop is very nice as well. The speak easy is a must for the bourbon lover to find rare and old bourbons.

It has the upscale vibe, nice amenity's. Staff was nice. Rooms seemed small for a family but better for a couples stay. Needed a ice machine some where by the rooms. Bar was great

8/10 Very good

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
Sandra, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The best that Bardstown has to offer.

I’m not a fan of “motel” style hotels. I’m still not, but it’s the best option in Bardstown. Nice pool, beautiful lobby, and the food in the restaurant needed more seasoning. The cleaning staff were very friendly and this was refreshing.
Robin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Upgraded motel with average service & good pool

Upgraded old-style motel, with average size rooms and exterior doors. Inconsistent service in the restaurant and at the bar. Enjoyed the pool during the July heatwave!
Tiffany, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfection

We stayed at the Trail Hotel recently and it was fantastic. We will definitely be back. The pool was definitely a highlight. The rooms are clean and comfortable. We apparently lost power in the middle of the night on the last night but did not notice. They provided complimentary breakfast due to the inconvenience. Whether you want to experience the great bourbon trail or just relax all day at the hotel, this is a must stay.

For Bardstown, it was an upscale urban option with a great restaurant and bar. Pool was totally chill. Staff was very attentive. Close to Makers Mark and Bardstown.
