Initially I was greeted in a beautiful lobby by a friendly staff member. Checked in and found my way through to my beautiful king room ( no elevator). The whole place is either well maintained or recently remodeled. Everything looks great, smelled fresh, appeared clean. After checking out (was never acknowledged by the staff) began discovering itchy spots all over my body. Bedbug bites! Even found a couple bedbugs in my clothes the next morning. It was a disappointing end to what seemed a very nice stay. Won’t be coming back here.

The rooms were freshly renovated. We liked the seating area in the room and lighting, but there was no closet (just a rack) and the desk was tiny. So there wasn’t much space to set things out. There was no safe and the refrigerator didn’t work.

The Distill Inn was a good choice and everything about it was quite exceptional with the exception of the internet which was intermittent. Since we were in Bardstown for reasons other than the Bourbon tours, we were delighted in sampling some bourbon at the in house bar. Caitlin served us remarkably good old fashions and was a delight to speak with.

Distill-Inn is a very clean, neat place. The room was very spacious. The only item that I could see needing some maintenance was the shower curtain rod was very loose from the wall and needed attention along with some of the wallpaper seams in the bathroom was curling up. Other than that, I would have given it a 5 start rating. Will definately plan to stay here again.

The hotel looked great and the room was quite nice, but it is off the beaten path. There was only a Taco Bell nearby for food and except for a breakfast, no food available in the hotel itself. It had a bar, but it was hardly ever manned. It is a great place to stay near Bardstown as long as you have a car, otherwise there is only one taxi service in town.

I would make the suggestion that the coffee machine be changed. In the morning a line is created of people waiting to make a cup of coffee and then it only produces about 6 ounces into a cup.
