Bardstown Motor Lodge

It was a very cute older style motel that took the wife and I back to our childhood. The property was very nice and you could tell the owners have put their souls into the remodel. The rooms were nice and clean , the wife did complain about a little musty smell but overall we loved it and look forward to coming back.

We loved how it was retro-fitted with modern appliances but staying true to its 60s-70s motel origins. Keeping the original window styling and lavatory tile and retro looking sink made it feel so awesome to stay at. The modern appliances also made it luxurious to stay at, especially with the smart tv. A lot better than most standard hotel rooms. The mattress and sheets were also soft and truly comforting as well. The room was also clean and well restored with quality, not just cheaply thrown together.

There wasn’t really much to dislike, everything was exceptional.

We liked everything from the room, the pool, the fire pits and the staff! They were all great and helpful with whatever we needed! We can’t wait to stay there again! Bardstown has an awesome downtown area with lots of restaurants to choose from and lots of shoes! We had a good dinner at Scout and scholar and a delicious breakfast at Pat’s!

The only issue was the bright lights outside the room at night. We put towels over the window but it was still bright!

Staff was so nice! Love the whole atmosphere and the cabins were perfect!

This is a very relaxing stay. 1/2 mile from downtown. I’m sure in the summer you could walk to the downtown area. Every night the host lights the fire pits at 6pm in the winter. The inside of the motel is super cute and it’s clean. There is also a 24 hour access to the lounge where you can ice, extra towels if needed and an iron with an iron board. Amber the host is really nice and gave useful information.

Convenient location. Property is always clean. Always feel safe at this location.

Can’t say there is anything we didn’t like.

This was our first trip to Bardstown, and the staff was incredibly helpful with suggestions on things to do in the area. While we were sitting around one of the fire pits, the lady working at the check-in desk came out and started the fire for us, which was such a thoughtful touch. Our room was very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

My only suggestion would be to install curtains that fully cover the windows. It felt like people walking by could see into our room.
