We really enjoyed staying at this Best Western, even though this chain is not normally our first choice. The staff is friendly. The rooms are older, but clean enough. What we really enjoyed was the green space and pool. We stayed right next to the pool and spent a lot of time outdoors in the grassy areas out back that... More

This is an older building with a small bath area and no counter. That said, our king room was clean and comfortable. It had a recliner and a very comfortable mattress. Our room looked recently painted and the furniture was fine. Even though this hotel is on a main two lane road, it was quiet during the night. Breakfast had... More

This review compares this Inn with others of similar price and character. The Inn is a bit older but has been renovated. The price for a room is very reasonable and the pet fee is only $15. The management is polite and knowledgeable. What is really nice is the fact that it has nice grounds. Moreover, instead of a cramped... More

We were looking for a place close to everything. The Best Western had it all. Within walking distance of the downtown restaurants, bars and shopping. Rooms are large and clean. Fridge and microwave in rooms. We would stay here again.

This hotel met my expectations for a clean, quiet place to sleep. We do not stay in many chain hotels so when we do we are simply looking for consistency. There isn't anything charming or outstanding about this place but neither are there any clear negatives. The front desk clerk who checked us in was friendly and helpful even when... More

We planned a trip to Maker's Mark distillery and booked this hotel based on it's location and the fact that they accepted pets. We are very realistic when traveling on a budget - we were just looking for a clean room to lay our heads at night. We were pleasantly surprised with our experience at this motel. The woman who...

Stayed at this hotel for two nights. Friendly staff, great location, great breakfast etc. Their bedding consists of a blanket between two sheets on top of the bed. Which is fine, except for the blanket had hair all over it. Short black ones, long ones, etc. I understand the material must just be very catching, but it was pretty gross... More

Last Christmas we stayed here while visiting family. It was a "no brainer" this year when it was time to choose a hotel. But I feel let down. It seems like they've not done a thing to this place in the past year except change the sheets. Our room was grubby, with a collection of hair on the bathroom floor,... More

Was very pleased with the Best Western in Bardstown, KY. The staff was very helpful. It was a very nice dog friendly place. Had a area you could walk your dogs and had pick up bags when the dog would poop. The people who served breakfast were friendly and would out of their way to help you. The people at... More
