Bardstown Motor Lodge

We were very pleased with our stay at the Bardstown Motor Lodge. Check-in was easy and all of the personnel could not have been nicer. The room was a nice size, the beds were comfortable and the air conditioner was quiet. The bathroom was well supplied with toiletries and towels. We spent every evening in the courtyard as that was such a nice place to sit with friends and talk. Firepits were available, but it was way too hot to have a fire. The bar was open if one wanted a drink while sitting there. It was about a five minute drive into Bardstown so the location was perfect. We would stay here again.

A great family staycation location in Bardstown. Spend the day at the pool then walk over to Toogie's Table for a wonderful dinner.

I had such a great stay at Bardstown Motor Lodge! The rooms were clean and comfortable, but the true highlights were the pool, the cocktails, and the community space. The pool area had such a fun, laid-back vibe — the perfect spot to unwind. The cocktails were fantastic and clearly crafted with care. But what really stood out to me was the intentionality behind the community space. I met so many interesting and cool people during my stay, and it genuinely felt like the space was designed to bring folks together. It’s rare to find a place that nails both hospitality and atmosphere — Bardstown Motor Lodge does both beautifully. I’ll definitely be back!

We had 2 rooms: a single king (room #4) and a double queen (room #18). Pros: The rooms were nicely sized. Beds were very comfortable. Mini fridges were also of a nice size. This is a pet friendly motel. The pool is shallow 3-4 foot, but great after a hot summer day. There were lots of towels and chairs around the pool area. There were great seating choices around the fire pit as well. Room 4 had a backdoor leading to the back patio, pool, and fire pit area. The shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, and lotion provided smelled great! The ac was very effective. TVs were large. The parking was nice and the staff were super friendly and kind. They actually allowed us to check out late. The inside is way cuter than extended on the outside. Cons: The bathroom doors did not latch or stay shut. They were no longer aligned with the jamb (I believe due to shifting and wood swelling in the heat). The king room shower originally had doors on a track, but now had a curtain which was very close to you while showering. We had to crack the curtain to lesson the curtain coming in and touching us. The corners and sides of the rooms weren’t very clean, there were small rocks and small dead bugs. The windows didn’t have curtains and you could see around and through them. The keys didn’t always work. Overall, this was a very basic motel with some nice amenities.

So close to everything! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The pool and courtyard area were just perfect.

The maintenance of this place is terrible, e.g., I went four days without water and there was virtually no sense of urgency to get it fixed. The place has gone approximately 2 years with no Do Not Disturb / Maid Service Requested door placards available. They frequently run out of clean towels and openly admit it..., absolutely avoid this dump!!!
