We loved our stay at the Bardstown Motor Lodge! Our room was clean, updated, and had such a large, cozy bed. The lodge was also so convenient to all the restaurants and shops in town. We went to Bernheim Forest, Lincoln’s Birth Place National Park, and Mammoth Cave which were all just a short drive away. We also enjoyed the fire pits toasting marshmallows each night. Such a great place- we’ll definitely be back!

All the pictures for the property show only 1 story, so i never thought I'd need to request ground floor, as hubby is a disabled vet. We were given a 2nd story room w no elevator, so that was frustrating. There is no daily housekeeping and the exterior door to our 2nd story room wasn't fully sealed, so daylight was visible around the entire door. We were told at check in that the type of room we had (king size bed, studio room) for our stay (thursday to sunday) this was the only one available, so it was pointless to mention the door issue to the front desk. The room satisfied the need of a bed & a shower, but we don't plan to stay there again.

Room and bathroom were very clean. They offered to keep fire pit going outside even in December while it was snowing outside, it was already burning when we got there. Staff was kind and welcoming.

The hotel has nice amenities like fire pits and a pool but the bug infestations, strange smells, and dirty rooms do not make the amenities worth the stay. I had to move rooms after a bug issue and the second room was not clean. The floors were grimy, the shower doors had streaks, and the remote for the tv was literally sticky. They also don’t offer room service (which is fine I guess although they do have a restaurant on the property) and the town doesn’t have great options on Uber Eats.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this lovely hotel, and I can't say enough good things about my experience! From the moment I arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. Their kindness and willingness to help with anything I needed truly set the tone for a wonderful stay. The rooms were immaculate—spotlessly clean and well-maintained. The beds? Oh, they were like sleeping on a cloud! I’ve never experienced such comfort; it felt like I was cradled in pure bliss every night. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. The combination of attentive staff, pristine accommodations, and heavenly beds made for an unforgettable stay. I can’t wait to return!
