Bardstown Motor Lodge

Nice little courtyard to sit by fireplace and chill out for the evening. Staff was very friendly, location was great. We would stay again!

Staying at the motel was a unique experience. It reminded me of when I was a kid and we would stay at motels on vacation. The rooms are nicely updated while retaining the ambiance of staying at a motor lodge in the 60's. It was a very enjoyable experience. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The only issue we had was the room would get very warm at night, and when we adjusted the temperature on the thermostat, and eventually turned it off, the heat still came on, and the room remained very warm. I would highly reccommend the Bardstown Motor Lodge for people looking for a more interesting experience than a typical hotel.

Everything was great for our 2 night stay. The beds were very comfortable, everything was clean, the staff were amazing! Definitely will stay again!

Friendly staff, great location, and room was clean and comfortable. Also S’mores by the firepit right outside our door.

Check in was a breeze and the young woman at the desk was friendly. She told us when the fire would be started in the outdoor fireplace that night. We took advantage of the warm November night and sat by the fireplace..That was a great perk!

Some cleanliness issues (coffee cup lid on floor near inside door by desk, bathroom sliding door was very dingy/dusty on the inside of the bathroom). Otherwise fine. Bar was not fully stocked for cocktails on the menu.

The property is unique as to the style of the rooms and the nostalgic look back at 1950s motor courts. My only knock on the property is that we must have removed about a dozen stink bugs from the room.

Pros: Conveniently located. Kitschy vibe. Great little courtyard. Nice "lounge" area at the check/in with games, coffee maker, fireplace. Cons: The blind is only light-filtering, not room-darkening, which allowed so much light in from the outside "porch" (as well as the street light). It also had a broken piece that left a hole for even more light to enter. There were some kind of Dove Mens' Care product stickers affixed to the top of that window frame, which the cleaning person somehow failed to see and remove. We struggled with opening the main door from the inside. Perhaps that locking mechanism can be looked at (#4).

Room and staff were great! We had no hot water on two very cold mornings.
