Very expensive for a smelly (musty) room with a lumpy bed and a comforter with insides that fell to the bottom of the bed. I would choose a different place to stay.

We were really excited to stay at this property for a fun weekend in downtown Ashland. Unfortunately, upon checking in late at night we found bedbugs. We immediately let the front desk know and they did return our money, but we had to find a different hotel at 1 AM in the morning, which cost us an additional $200 for the last minute booking. It also meant that we were no longer in downtown Ashland so we were all the way across town and had to pay for Uber to get back-and-forth. We did contact the owner/manager to let him know that we did want some sort of compensation, but unfortunately, he tried to argue the fact that we had even had bedbugs, even though we had taken pictures and shown staff, This was super inconvenient not only do we have to pack all of our items up at 1 AM in the morning and stay at a much more expensive hotel last minute, but the staff didn’t seem to even care or want to do anything to compensate us for our troubles. In fact, the owner seemed bothered by the fact that we were even bringing up the Bed Bug situation. Totally unprofessional and will never recommend or stay at another one of these locations again.

This property needs an upgrade. However for the price and location it seems appropriate. We did not have hot water in our room, it was lukewarm. That was a deal breaker. I let the front desk know and they would investigate. The beds were pretty squishy and uncomfortable. However, I love the location and staff. And the price was reasonable.

This was such a fun quirky place to stay. They take pets - we were traveling with our cat. The entire place is themed with a renaissance theme down to the stationary. There were some dated fixtures but the room felt super homey and was very clean and comfortable. It was also very quiet. We barely heard anyone which was refreshing. You can tell that the staff members care about the property. The pool and hot tub looked inviting. The breakfast was better than we were anticipating. Fresh pancakes! Fresh eggs and sausage. Coffee, juice, milk, bagels, cereal, yogurts. It really had something for everyone. Only small downside was the bathroom. It was cold and the shower didn’t heat up all the way. We didn’t spend that much time in there … because it was the bathroom. We would totally stay again. We loved how walkable everything was. There are many dining options and shops nearby.

After staying at another less expensive property in Ashland, Bard’s was a let down in every way. First it was a motel, which we were not expecting. There are several different complexes and it is hard to tell what you have booked. Second, we did not have hot water for our shower. When we called it in, we were told “yea, that happens when we are full. The whole building shares one water heater so that’s as good as it gets.” The rooms were cold and the bedding was sparse. On the positive side, location was superb and staff were friendly. But honestly there are much better options in Ashland.
