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 It seems very outdated still and the rooms are very small.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

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!

My wife and I were VERY pleased. Great place.

My wife and I were very pleased. Everything about this place was great. Check in, room, bathroom, beds, TV, place to hang clothes, lighting, breakfast, convenient location, check out, everything was great. Why can't all hotels just do it right? This place knows how to provide a clean, comfortable room with a TV that's easy to use and working fixtures in the bathroom. What more could you want?
