The Trail Hotel was a gem, newly remodeled with all the amenities. The staff was hospitable, just sad I didn't bring my suit to sit in the hot tub! We plan to stay again when we revisit The Bourbon Trail.

This hotel has been in operation for a few months - it has a nice atmosphere, clean, easy access and friendly staff. Still some growing pains - service was friendly but a little slow - food was excellent All rooms open to the outside - not completely dark with some outside lighting - our air conditioner was loud. Room was clean and well maintained I am sure things will improve get though the next few months

Great new hotel…what Bardstown needed!

5.0 / 10.0

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.

3.0 / 10.0

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!

8.0 / 10.0

Food was great! I Would like to see the bar step up their drinks & drink making, especially because they are on the bourbon trail. I’ll be back, very fun hotel!

5.0 / 10.0

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

8.0 / 10.0

New property so everything looked great. Front Desk staff amazing, housekeeping didn't vacuum. No ice machines they provided bags of ice which left us trying to find places to keep ice. Pool area very nice but No bartender at pool bar the entire weekend. Restaurant food was over cooked.

6.0 / 10.0

The Trail Hotel was very nice and updated. The staff was not very knowledgeable on the area. No transportation or concierge to advise on various activities. The food was very subpar and not good. We had a view of the highway .. we checked in early and had asked for a room by the pool and was advised that it was more money. The room was $400. Overall a 3 star

4.0 / 10.0

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.

10.0 / 10.0

Staff was incredibly friendly, and the reimagined property was fantastic. We were there for the Bourbon Trail so this was the perfect hotel for our trip!

4.0 / 10.0

Better communication at check in. Restaurant needs a lot of work. Shouldn’t take 2 hours for dinner. Prices to do not reflect the quality of the food.

Great stay

2.0 / 10.0

Was double charged on checkout. Had no blackout curtains in our room and lights shown right through. Shower didn’t drain very well. Restaurant was overwhelmed and half of my food was fresh and other half had been played mad was like warm. For the price it should have been exponentially better. As of now they are in desperate need of getting it together.

8.0 / 10.0

What a Gem and Vision of a new Property! This Place is Great. And so fortunate to be some of the New Guests. Location is Great! Rooms are small but well done. I would suggest to not leave an empty roll of toilet paper for new guests. I would suggest to have information on dining and information menus in the rooms. This made for a hassle to have to call or go in person to know hours and items. We did do the Golf simulator multiple times and this was a Huge Hit! Great Job to incorporate that. Not having any Draft beer is disappointing but can be an easy Fix for Future. For breakfast the mini market 5star directly next store (1 minute walk) was the Best Option as they have Excellent Fresh Breakfast sandwiches! Found it too cold, expensive and too Formal for Breakfast in Lobby esp when kids involved. Staff was very Nice and Professional! Hope one Day there can be a gym option. I wud def recommend and look forward to stay again as we come every summer to Bardstown! Great Job!

It has the upscale vibe, nice amenity's. Staff was nice. Rooms seemed small for a family but better for a couples stay. Needed a ice machine some where by the rooms. Bar was great

This is a fantastic property. The golf simulator room was amazing and very reasonably priced. Food at the restaurant was excellent. The gift shop is very nice as well. The speak easy is a must for the bourbon lover to find rare and old bourbons.

10.0 / 10.0

This property is new and beautiful! A vibe of retro motor lodge meets luxe boutique. Hi o & chic at the same time. I sent as initially thrown off by the doors on the outside, but the Trail Hotel pulled it off! The lobby is beautiful with many spaces to sit in small groups & relax on gorgeous leather chairs & relax. The bar is gorgeous and cocktails are great! Steakhouse is delicious. There is a golf simulator that looks like a posh lounge that can be booked and a great speakeasy in the basement. The outdoor pool is in the center with a nice pool bar so you don’t have to go far to grab a drink & bask in the sun. The semi-submerged pool loungers are a nice touch. The gift shop offers some great items including their collection of bourbon & rye. Michael the bar manager (I believe?) was lovely & went over & above to create one of the best old fashioneds I’ve ever had. The rooms are tastefully decorated with a fridge & coffeemaker & the toiletries provided feel upgraded with travel m-size luxe body lotion, etc. Bed & pillows were comfy. There are wonderful fire pits with Adirondack chairs outside and our group loved gathering around the fire each night with a cocktail & stories from the day to share. We stayed 2 nights and really enjoyed our time. The hotel is new and they were somewhat under-staffed as evidenced upon check-in - we waited behind another couple who said they had been waiting a while with no one manning the front desk. This was rectified.

3.0 / 10.0

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.

The receptionist that checked us in was not happy nor helpful. However, the rest of the staff was amazing! We had a blast with the bartenders and management. Shoutout to Keaton and Austin!

4.0 / 10.0

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.

Over charged my credit card/charged me for 2 days instead of 1

10.0 / 10.0

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

5.0 / 10.0

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

1.0 / 10.0

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...

10.0 / 10.0

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.
