We were told after getting in the pool and my grandson swimming for sometime that the pool was not yet opened due to health department not inspecting it yet. When ask why it wasn't locked with a sign on it management got very rude and stated everyone should know the pools in Bardstown did not open until after June 1st.

We picked the motel for the location after reading previous reviews. We walked directly across the street to My Old Ky Home State park. The room was very clean, updated, and photo was accurate. Staff was friendly. The pool was clean and had plenty of seating with umbrella tables. Great value. Location and a simple free breakfast included.

It is an older hotel that has been updated. It was relatively clean except for the floors that needed a good cleaning. My white socks were dirty from walking on the vinyl plank flooring at night. In the morning, I wiped lots of dirt off my feet before putting on my shoes.

When we entered the room we noticed it did not look like the picture provided on Hotel.com. There was: 1. Hair in the drain of the sink 2. Pubic hair on the floor beside the toliet and some other black mouse poop looking thing. 3. The people that stayed in that room before us left some DNA (semen) on the bedspread. The nasty stuff on the bedspread did it for us. We went to the office and told them we could not stay there and that we would like our money back. We was told we had to contact Hotels.com to do that. We stayed in another hotel across town. Tried to get a refund on Hotels.com. I spent about 45 minutes.

This was a completely terrible experience. First the day I was going to check in the hotel manager called me to ask me whattime i was giing to arrive. Then i was informed that there may not be staff on hand to check out with so I should lock my key in my roomwhen checking out. When i arrived the front desk couldn't find my prepaid reservation. After calling someone on the phone all in a language I couldn't understand they found my reservation. I went to the room and dropped of my luggage and went to eat. When i came back i inspected the room and it was filthy. Hair in the sheets, the floor was slick, there were stains all over the matress. The towels had streaksof something on them like it didnt come out in the wash. The sheets were tissue paper thin. At this point I didnt want to fight again in a foreign language so i just checked out and left.

This hotel is dirty. There was a stain of some sort behind the toilet…disgusting. Our sheet had eyelashes, hair and a small blood spot on it. I did speak to the owners and they changed the sheets immediately but along with the dirty bathroom, I was just uncomfortable staying in this hotel.

The rooms are better than expected gauging from the outside of the building. Came into town for a bourbon weekend. The festival was going on so places were scarce. The rooms are older but have been updated. The tv is small and not a smart tv so you can’t stream and no real premium channels. Bypassed breakfast because it is in the small lobby area. It served it purpose but would not be one I would hunt down to stay at again.

The property is old. It’s located off a major highway. There’s a lot of traffic noise. The AC unit in the room does not have a fan that will run constantly. So there’s no way to block out the noise. There was only a sheet on the bed, no blanket or quilt. I had to put my clothes on to stay warm and sleep. There’s no carpet in the room so at least the floor seems clean. I would not stay here again. At $80 a night, you get what you pay for

Refurbished older motel complete with old-time style brass room key on big plastic tag. Interior was clean and starkly efficient. Fine for our one night stay. AC/heater under front window is very loud even at low speed. Hotel faces a bysy local street so every noisy passing vehicle is easily heard. If you’re a light dleeper, consider elsewhere. However for the price, room is acceptable and a good bargain.

Rode up for the Hoka Hey Rendezvous, and looking at comparable prices, was a little concerned as it was less than half the cost. For sure, this is a motel facility, but what a pleasant surprise. Super clean, convenient, and incredibly charming. The staff were amazing and friendly. Sometimes it's the perfect match - a quaint, cozy, friendly place. Not to take anything away from a larger chain, but they can be sterile. And you just can't beat the price! Super happy and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Location

Convenient for sightseeing, with easy access to My Old Kentucky Home State Park, Stephen Foster Theater, downtown Bardstown, and nearby distilleries; some guests walked, while others preferred short drives. Being on a main road brings occasional traffic noise, and having a car helps.

Don’t stay here. It is an outdated motel. The AC’s are so loud that they keep you up at night and so inefficient that they barely cool down the room. The only thing walkable is a McDonalds - you can walk into historic downtown but it’s about a mile each way. The channel selection on the TV is very basic. Breakfast is very basic. It’s an old motel in need of renovation and it is not a pleasant place to stay. No safe in the room and no electronic key cards, just an old fashioned key so I would not leave anything valuable in the room. The only nice thing about it is the pool and the fact that it is within easy driving distance of a couple of great distilleries, but there are much nicer places to stay in the area.

The bathroom needs to be updated and renovated as it was falling apart in places and the sink faucet is very close to the edge of the sink. The owner and staff are nice and friendly. The breakfast is toast, bagels, yogurt, bananas, and pastries, which was perfect for us. Overall a great place to stay, especially for the price.
