This is an older hotel. It has been kept up rather well. It is conveniently located across My old Kentucky home. A very nice place to stay. There is not much to the continental breakfast. Would stay here again.

The property was okay, and the stay was good. my problem was when checking in. The tables in front of the check-in window was STUPID. I couldn't hear the girl checking me in because of the other people in the room waiting to be checked in because I was to far away from her because of the tables.

The 4th

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.

A great budget hotel when visiting Bardstown. Close to everything. Clean and has very comfortable beds. Only downs were lack of a comfortable chair and a “low rider” commode. Minor things.

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.
