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!

Very beautifully renovated hotel. We are locals, but felt like we were out of town on vacation. The staff were super nice and went out of their way to accommodate our needs. We will definitely be back when we need a staycation.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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.
