An outdated motel

Don’t stay here. It is an outdated motel. The AC’s are so loud that they keep you up at night and so inefficient that they barely cool down the room. The only thing walkable is a McDonalds - you can walk into historic downtown but it’s about a mile each way. The channel selection on the TV is very basic. Breakfast is very basic. It’s an old motel in need of renovation and it is not a pleasant place to stay. No safe in the room and no electronic key cards, just an old fashioned key so I would not leave anything valuable in the room. The only nice thing about it is the pool and the fact that it is within easy driving distance of a couple of great distilleries, but there are much nicer places to stay in the area.
It’s not an “Inn”, it’s just a motel.
Nice pool was the best part of the stay

This is an older hotel. It has been kept up rather well. It is conveniently located across My old Kentucky home. A very nice place to stay. There is not much to the continental breakfast. Would stay here again.

The 4th

We picked the motel for the location after reading previous reviews. We walked directly across the street to My Old Ky Home State park. The room was very clean, updated, and photo was accurate. Staff was friendly. The pool was clean and had plenty of seating with umbrella tables. Great value. Location and a simple free breakfast included.

Rode up for the Hoka Hey Rendezvous, and looking at comparable prices, was a little concerned as it was less than half the cost. For sure, this is a motel facility, but what a pleasant surprise. Super clean, convenient, and incredibly charming. The staff were amazing and friendly. Sometimes it's the perfect match - a quaint, cozy, friendly place. Not to take anything away from a larger chain, but they can be sterile. And you just can't beat the price! Super happy and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The price. The owner and his family were great. Always seeing if we needed anything and if we were ok. It’s just outdated.
