“The hotel revitalizes the classic motor lodge concept with modern updates, making it a comfortable base for exploring Bardstown's bourbon distilleries and historic sites. I like the way they designed the outdoor spaces, they foster a sense of community with fire pits and social areas. The seasonal pool and on-site dining add to its appeal as a relaxed, family-friendly getaway.”
