Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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!
