The Trail Hotel is a total renovation and modernization of an old Holiday Inn. It is designed around a bourbon theme. The rooms are comfortable and have large bathrooms. The lobby and restaurant/bar areas carry forward the bourbon theme, and they offer excellent experiences. There is a large pool area with a poolside bar and multiple outdoor seating areas with fire pits. The location is ideal. It is right off the Bluegrass Parkway with easy access to downtown Bardstown.

Pros: Good central location if bourbon tasting. Beautifully decorated hotel and everything is new. They did a wonderful job given the room sizes. Lobby and bar are stunning. Cons: at its core, hotel is still a remodeled Holiday Inn style motel. Room entrances are outside, and in rain, you can’t stay totally dry walking down the hallways. Staff acts like they are working at a Holiday Inn and not a higher end hotel. No warm greetings, inexperienced in hospitality, Unprofessional restaurant staff.

Definitely seems to be a motel rather than a hotel, but it’s a bougie one at that. Rooms are nice, restaurant and bars are fantastic and the staff is absolutely amazing. We had a blast and will definitely be going back.

We were really excited to see a boutique hotel in Bardstown. The room was stylish and comfortable. The restaurant, though slow, had a great menu with something for everyone. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Beautifully renovated hotel. Check in was smooth and front desk woman was very nice. The pool area was wonderful and relaxing. Rooms are very clean and stylish. The hidden speakeasy was a blast and the bartender was fun and made a great cocktail. He was delightful. Server in restaurant was fantastic and attentive. Food was marginal. Would love to see live music and the pool bar open later. Wish they had a coffee /pastry shop for the mornings. Met two of the owners and they were personable and very nice and accommodating. Met a lot of fun and wonderful guests. Not far from town, short car ride. Would definitely come Back

We stayed 2 nights at the hotel while doing bourbon tours. We loved the hotel! They have put alot of thought into the details of the hotel. They have the fluffiest towels Ive ever experienced in a hotel. The bed and pillows were incredible. Their pool is saltwater and beautiful. We spoke with the maintenance man while he was testing the pool and he talked about the attention to detail with testing the pool and the hot tub. The provided beach towels are big and fluffy as well. All of the staff that we encountered were top notch and so friendly. Gordy the bartender was fun and made great cocktails. The speakeasy is a must. So cozy and fun. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

It's overall pricey for what you get, bourbon pours are unrealistic for what you can get in town. Some rooms are not pool side but they charge for pool side. Paper thin walls. Limited hooks in rooms. It's new so staff are not 100% up to speed with service but they were all very friendly. The public can use the pool and bar so there might not be any chairs, towels or room in the pool for paid guests.
