Tales From the Trail
Girls trip to Bardstown
The Trail Hotel is a welcome and wonderful addition to the Bardstown Experience. Perfectly located just off the bluegrass Parkway and convenient to the hear of Bourbon Country. The staff were friendly beyond description. the rooms was very comfortable and clean plus well appointed. We enjoyed drinks by the fire table both before and after dinner. We dined at Oak and Ember. We have the chicken on the recommendation of our server and it did NOT disappoint. It's hard to make chicken memorable and they did. An old fashioned finished off the night outside by the fire table. We are already planning our next visit.
Laura B | Trip AdvisorHighly recommended for your bourbon experience
We stayed there three nights for the bourbon turbo and every staff member from the front desk to the restaurant in the bar were very helpful and accommodating. I believe several of them went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of! The secret speakeasy was a very nice touch!
Greg K | Trip AdvisorHoliday ❘ Friends
This hotel was refurbished from an old Holiday Inn. They have done a remarkable job in keeping elements of the old hotel while making it luxurious and modern. There are some good sitting areas to gather with friends. The bourbon lounge is a great place to gather with friends and watch sports. The restaurant and bar were good. Although they were out of orange juice for breakfast. It’s also in a nice location. You will need a car to travel into downtown but once there you could walk the area. A charming hotel and town. Recommended for a bourbon tour!
