Love it or hate it...

If you like rock bottom price, you'll love this place. If you want accomodations, you might look somewhere else:
1. The bed's mattresses were all worn out - you'd better sleep on the carpet, but then I can't vouch for the cleanliness of it.
2. The room's framed art included framed flies as well;
3. The bathroom seemed in tune with the historical nature of Bardstown - that is, it looked dated?
4. The continental breakfast, although quite diversified including such staples as peanut butter, strawberry jam, grape jelly, cream cheese and bagels, 2 types of cereals, was presented in bulk - it's okay to share the 8 oz. cream cheese container or the peanut butter jar at home, but not in a breakfast bar... Let's just say it did tame our enthusiasm.
As I said, if you're looking for an excursion (sort of indoor camping), this place is for you. For hotel/motel grade, it fell a little short. I do understand there's a cost of business involved in running a business: increase the room rates if need be, to fund proper accomodations to this well-located motel.
True, the innkeeper was courteous and well behaved - but we still would have enjoyed it better if we had had a proper sleeping quarter.
