We went to the bourbon festival and this was the only available hotel around that area. Unfortunately, they charged 5x over the nightly rate! (I'm assuming most hotels do that as well that weekend) It definitely wasn't worth the extremely high price per night.

The distill Inn is advertised as pet friendly. However, it is not so. When I first checked in, I had to sign no less than four different papers because I had two dogs. They have postings up that imply their guest sneak pets in and or later charged a greater amount of money because they did sneak them in. I however told them right up front. I had two dogs and even though I followed their instructions. I was still charged $250 over the cost of the room. These people really are not pet friendly. Furthermore, the air conditioning was incredibly poor. I was told it’s too hot outside in the air conditioner could not keep up..

Awesome Find

Found this place by accident and will stay there anytime we are in the area. Super nice and clean. Love the little bar inside for a night cap at the end of the evening. And the staff was amazing.

Very clean hotel and room. Good bed. Good coffee. Very friendly and helpful staff. We stayed here while making several stops at distilleries on the Bourbon Trail. We’ll most definitely stay here again when we come back to Bardstown to do more of the trail. The hotel opened in Oct of 2023, so everything looks and feels new.

I shy away from doing reviews. I am not a professional writer and don’t think I can express in detail my experience. Pressing 5,4 or so stars is okay but I don’t want to write a two paragraph review. A great place to stay. Five stars.
