We were told after getting in the pool and my grandson swimming for sometime that the pool was not yet opened due to health department not inspecting it yet. When ask why it wasn't locked with a sign on it management got very rude and stated everyone should know the pools in Bardstown did not open until after June 1st.

Guy was rude about mix up in dates. He made cry. I felt like I was a criminal. He slightly raised his voice to me. He was not nice. His wife was super nice, when I checked in. They called me in room, come back to office.

A great budget hotel when visiting Bardstown. Close to everything. Clean and has very comfortable beds. Only downs were lack of a comfortable chair and a “low rider” commode. Minor things.

This was a completely terrible experience. First the day I was going to check in the hotel manager called me to ask me whattime i was giing to arrive. Then i was informed that there may not be staff on hand to check out with so I should lock my key in my roomwhen checking out. When i arrived the front desk couldn't find my prepaid reservation. After calling someone on the phone all in a language I couldn't understand they found my reservation. I went to the room and dropped of my luggage and went to eat. When i came back i inspected the room and it was filthy. Hair in the sheets, the floor was slick, there were stains all over the matress. The towels had streaksof something on them like it didnt come out in the wash. The sheets were tissue paper thin. At this point I didnt want to fight again in a foreign language so i just checked out and left.

Covers the basics & it's clean but that's it. My room had no tissues & no iron. I was in town on business & couldn't iron the outfit I packed. It's allergy season & there were no tissues. The blankets aren't much thicker than tissues but that isn't any help. To make matters worse, I had a family emergency & had to leave a day early and when I was checking out, the front desk staff tells me, 'Well, you booked online thru a third party site and we've already paid them their commission.' Ok, sure, I get that. But I was literally going back because a family member was in a medical crisis. Don't make my early check out about *your commission*.
