Staff friendliness only gets you so far.

The staff was nice and tried their best. But this hotel featured New York size rooms and New York prices. It was a motel in the middle of Kentucky (indeed, the doors open to the outside walkway). Our double room was miniscule, featured no "modern amenities" such as usb outlets, laundry bags, etc., and wasn't turned over during the entirety of our three night stay. And our keys were reset each day, causing us to have to go to reception for a fix (in the middle of a thunderstorm, with all of our stuff sitting on the sidewalk...). This is an $95/night room at best. And $25 for what was effectively a continental breakfast... The common areas (pool, restaurant, lobby) were very nice. The golf simulator was a nice amenity as well. But if you are planning to use the room for anything more than a crash pad, maybe think again before spending over $200 a night...

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.
