This place was really nice and quiet. Granted we did this in December on the downside of the season. A room was really quite clean and comfortable. The breakfast was OK. Nothing right Home about. We only stayed here for one night. Check in was very simple
Room is very clean, staff are all so sweet, and the breakfast is very good too! We had a very pleasant stay and room temp and bed comfort was great! We will def stay again even though it’s not a huge room and it’s an older hotel, it’s well kept up. Great location too!
I chose the motel so that we could walk into town, and the location was fine for that purpose, especially since we had one night stay. However the white shower curtain had 2 inches of red bacteria stain at the bottom edge, indicating it had not been washed or sanitized in some time. The bathroom seemed clean but the shower curtain had been hooked over the hand bar, indicating the housekeeper had seen the red and ignored it. That night there was a loud party outside our room and in an adjacent room that went on until after midnight. Finally, the coffee was gone when we went to get some before they closed breakfast at 9am (on a Sunday!).
I have nothing to say bad about the stay at my hotel the breakfast is great the workers are great especially the worker name Paige she's a wonderful woman and the manager/owner Ray was awesome I would recommend this hotel to anybody
Room was clean, bed was comfy. They offered free hot breakfast with your stay. My only disappointment was the fridge didn’t get cold enough, and the pool wasn't available
Great location for walking to downtown area. Clean, not fancy. Good free breakfast on premises. Would stay again.

We get it
We get what Best Weatern tried to do. Turn a very old hotel into a modern one and for us it just didn’t work. It seems very outdated still and the rooms are very small. We had a baby so we brought a pack and play and it could barely fit in the room. There is a spacious room near the bathroom but we just don’t know what it could be used for. Cheap option, but I’d rather stay in Bardstown at the Fairfield for more money. It was not bad, just wasn’t for us. On the plus side, it was the best breakfast we had on our Bourbon Trail trip. The cooks cared enough to make us fresh biscuits, eggs, and sausage. Definitely a positive
Clean room, friendly staff. Missed breakfast both days. They close it down at 9 am. That was the only downside. The grounds were nice. We were able to sit out in the gazebo and met new people. I would definitely recommend this place.
Check in and out was no problem at all; the room was adequate; bathroom had a bidet! Loved that! Very roomy bathroom; bed and pillows were very comfortable; swimming pool was clean, had a spa area in the pool; breakfast was good and plentiful. The staff made me and my sister feel at home. The location is PERFECT for visiting downtown Bardstown and My Old Ky Home. I’m not big on motel stays but this was an excellent choice and I highly recommend it.
The only issue is that the bathtub was a little slippery so be aware of that. Otherwise excellent 2 night stay!
