10/10 Exceptional

Trail hotel was amazing

Great motel. Nice seating outside the room. Great bar. Newly remodeled and very tastefully done. Staff was super helpful and friendly.
Beautiful bar

Great facility

The facility was amazing and the service was great. However the Speak Easy wasn’t open during our time there. The pool bar only was open on Sunday, these were two of the amenities that we were looking forward to.

We were impressed with the revamp of this hotel! Beautiful spaces, completely renovated rooms, great pool area, friendly and knowledgeable bar staff.

8/10 Very good

The best that Bardstown has to offer.

I’m not a fan of “motel” style hotels. I’m still not, but it’s the best option in Bardstown. Nice pool, beautiful lobby, and the food in the restaurant needed more seasoning. The cleaning staff were very friendly and this was refreshing.
Robin, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Upgraded motel with average service & good pool

Upgraded old-style motel, with average size rooms and exterior doors. Inconsistent service in the restaurant and at the bar. Enjoyed the pool during the July heatwave!
Tiffany, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfection

We stayed at the Trail Hotel recently and it was fantastic. We will definitely be back. The pool was definitely a highlight. The rooms are clean and comfortable. We apparently lost power in the middle of the night on the last night but did not notice. They provided complimentary breakfast due to the inconvenience. Whether you want to experience the great bourbon trail or just relax all day at the hotel, this is a must stay.

10/10 Exceptional

For Bardstown, it was an upscale urban option with a great restaurant and bar. Pool was totally chill. Staff was very attentive. Close to Makers Mark and Bardstown.

Bradley, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The stay and property was amazing. A couple points to consider although not very big deals but something to look into...we did not have a do not disturb sign for the door and some areas in the room where not visible were very dusty. Again nothing major just something to consider. Otherwise it was a wonderful stay
Mark, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Nice rooms but just average as a whole

The hotel is still getting up to speed with their amenities given that they are still new. Rooms are nice and comfortable (A/c runs super loud all day and night long so be prepared for that). Restaurant service was not good - food took forever and came out at all different times. While they put a lot of $$ into the design, the hotel is really a motel that sits in the side of a highway. Their “patio view” which is an upgrade is a cement slab with a view of the highway and too hot to sit on in the warm weather as it faces sunset.

Over charged my credit card/charged me for 2 days instead of 1
Tenesha, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Staff friendliness only gets you so far.

The staff was nice and tried their best. But this hotel featured New York size rooms and New York prices. It was a motel in the middle of Kentucky (indeed, the doors open to the outside walkway). Our double room was miniscule, featured no "modern amenities" such as usb outlets, laundry bags, etc., and wasn't turned over during the entirety of our three night stay. And our keys were reset each day, causing us to have to go to reception for a fix (in the middle of a thunderstorm, with all of our stuff sitting on the sidewalk...). This is an $95/night room at best. And $25 for what was effectively a continental breakfast... The common areas (pool, restaurant, lobby) were very nice. The golf simulator was a nice amenity as well. But if you are planning to use the room for anything more than a crash pad, maybe think again before spending over $200 a night...
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The Trail has a lot of potential, and should grow into a wonderful space. We had one hiccup at checkin, and were told the incorrect room number, but that was fixed quickly. The lobby/lounge/bar/restaurant area is lovely, well appointed, but unfortunately they’re trying some sort of “signature smell” air freshener that made it unpleasant to stay in the lounge area. The rooms were nice, with fully renovated and spacious bathrooms. Really nice linens, but no place to hang them when not in use. No toilet lid on toilet, no exhaust fan in bathroom. The HVAC in the rooms is really, really loud. The pool area was VERY nice, lots of upgrades and a giant hottub. The outdoor patio areas were also nice. Every single thing other than your room and the pool is an extra charge. No free coffee in the morning. Want to check out the speakeasy? $15. The golf simulator, extra charge. I think over time as this “resort” evolves their approach will as well. Great potential.
