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.

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.

The price. The owner and his family were great. Always seeing if we needed anything and if we were ok. It’s just outdated.

We were told after getting in the pool and my grandson swimming for sometime that the pool was not yet opened due to health department not inspecting it yet. When ask why it wasn't locked with a sign on it management got very rude and stated everyone should know the pools in Bardstown did not open until after June 1st.

Guy was rude about mix up in dates. He made cry. I felt like I was a criminal. He slightly raised his voice to me. He was not nice. His wife was super nice, when I checked in. They called me in room, come back to office.

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.
