Quiet and comfortable, with a great little bar!

This was a pleasant surprise! We typically stay in an AirBnB when we go to Bardstown, but opted to try a hotel on short notice. I found the Distill-Inn and thought it looked to be a very nice renovation of an older hotel. That is exactly what it was, and then some. Everything was renovated to give it a bourbon-esque feel. The bar had an excellent selection of bourbons, and Fernando (he was great!) even suggested a gin cocktail for my wife which was great. The indoor pool has been removed and replaced with an indoor pickleball court but they also had cornhole and some other games there. This was a genius move because it is right off the lobby and bar and we weren't subjected to that chlorine smell and slick floors that come with a pool. The continental breakfast was pretty good, perfect for a quick bite before hitting the distillery tours. On Friday night we even decided to walk to dinner at the Rickhouse, it's only 1.5 miles. However, realize getting a ride back may take awhile with no Uber presence and only a couple cabs around. As for the room, very wel done although I would say that the pillows were pretty flat and uncomfortable but we are picky. We drove and should have just brought our pillows which we have decided to always do now. Overall though, we would definitely stay here again. If you are choosing a hotel, this one is a much better choice that similarly priced chain hotels in the area.

Highly recommend this hotel. The front desk staff are so friendly and accommodating. This was our second stay at the Distill and would return if we ever make it back to Bardstown. The facilities are very clean and we had no issues with our room. There is a bar for guest to hang out until 10 and an activity room with cornhole and a small pickle ball court. Thank you to the staff at the Distill Inn!!

Does not represent The Distil-Inn brand.

First thing to know is this hotel does NOT have an elevator. If you are older, have children or lots of luggage this could be a problem. You are on your own with getting the luggage upstairs. The hotel is located in a very industrial area. There is a small parking lot in the front with more parking in the back but it’s very difficult to get in and out of the larger one. This was an older Comfort Inn that was rehabbed. The outside looked nice, the inside was decorated nicely. The front desk people were a bit sarcastic and didn’t seem like they wanted to be there. There is NOT a pool, it was filled in and a pickle ball court is now there. The bar is next to the lobby and is nice. The barman was very nice and knowledgeable. The rooms are nothing to write home about. No carpet on the floors so noise carries. There is not a closet to store your suitcases out of the way. They do have a very small metal clothes stand with a few hangers. Where the closet was is a larger refrigerator was nice and a small microwave. The walls are thin and need better sound proofing. The bathroom was nice. The shower had good water pressure. The shower surround had not been cleaned in awhile. The toilet seat was loose and the sink was slow moving. This hotel does not represent The Distill-Inn brand by any means. I would not recommend to stay in this hotel.
