    Buoys is always great. Don't miss the AYCE catfish on Friday! Pizzas are also very good (we prefer the thin crust).

Ours had a small bathroom with a toilet and shower and then there was a two person jacuzzi tub in the bedroom. Unfortunately since I didn't feel well I didn't get the chance to use since I spent all of my time in bed. There were two chairs and a desk area as well as a mini fridge and I believe a microwave as well. I didn't hear any noise coming from the walls but since our room was on the first floor near the check in desk and the breakfast area there was a lot of noise that came through the door. The one thing I didn't really care for is the AC, it never seemed to really cool down inside. It wasn't unbearably hot but not comfortable when you don't feel well.

    staff was incredibly rude during my stay. I called them from my room about a couple issues and…read morewhatever girl was at the front desk was very short with me and then hung up while I was mid sentence, as if I was a bother and being ridiculous. the issues you may wonder?--my room was grimy to the touch, there was mold inside my nightstand drawer, and oh I was crazy enough to ask for extra coffee and two spoons. I was very polite when asking--I don't like making a fuss, but when something like what just happened happens, I can't hold my tongue and pretend that was a right thing to do, especially in a hospitality setting. bad people, dirty building, and throw some mold on top of all of that. Attached are a few pictures of the uncleanliness of this room. these are things that people regularly touch--they have to be cleaned between stays otherwise they end up disgusting

Our room (Library room) was very nice, the mattress was comfortable, and the breakfast was delicious. The owner gave us a tour of the old jail after breakfast, and it was a great history lesson. This family run business is very well maintained, and they always made sure their guests had everything they needed. I highly recommend staying here and if you're visiting.

And could eat Hadorn's donuts for dessert on the second floor dining table with a coffee station and microwave. Our room was spacious and the bathroom had lots of towels and shower shampoo, etc and a hair dryer. It was super quiet even tho you are on the busy street with corn trucks going to the distilleries. Guess it was the 21 inch stone thick walls. We could hang out on the front porch with rocking chairs. Paul's breakfast was the best we have had in ages. The historic houses were fun to see on morning walks before bourbon tastings at Heaven Hill, Willetts, and Bardstown Bourbon Co. Don't miss the jail tour!!

We got a king suite with jacuzzi. The bed was WONDERFULLY comfortable. The jacuzzi was such a treat. The jets worked as they should. Our walk-in shower is awesome. Mini fridge/microwave worked flawlessly. The pool was small but just what you needed after a hot day. Thoroughly enjoyed our experience from top to bottom. If we come to cave city again, we'll be staying there! Thanks Lena!

    I made my reservation in March and they cancelled it in April without notifying me. They said its…read morebecause I had a pay now and save reservation but why did they not charge it until a month after I made it and a month before staying? I obviously had adequate funds. And why was I not notified? I was a front desk supervisor at a hotel for nine and a half years and it is TERRIBLE customer service to just cancel someone's reservation without telling them. They could have made the situation better by letting me rebook and honoring my original rate but refused leading me to believe the manager is either rude/unaccommodating/lacks basic customer service skills, trained poorly so unable to do a simple fix, or not allowed to make normal management level decisions to fix a problem made by the hotel. Absolutely unacceptable practice and not even a hint of an apology or understanding. The actual front desk worker said he didn't even work at this hotel but was covering because someone didn't show up. He was wearing a hampton or hilton uniform and while he was nice, he wasn't much help. Additionally, the room door had issues latching and locking shut. Had to try multiple times every time we left or returned to make sure it was fully closed because I'd not it could be easily opened without a key. Room itself was ok, some scuffs and stains here and there and a bobby pin left on bathroom floor. Also it has very minimal breakfast (waffles, yogurt, cereal only - no pastries, toast, eggs).

    After staying in Hampton Inns all over the country for decades and never having a single issue; our…read morestreak ended. What a huge disappointment. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone and would not stay here again. At check in they put us on the first floor which is the floor for pets. We love pets, we have pets, we did not travel with pets. The room smelled so bad of stinky, wet dog that our clothes smelled when we changed out of them 45 minutes later. Thick cloying, wet dog smell. We asked for a new room immediately but the desk staff needed the managers approval before switching us. We finally did get switched-- 30 minutes later to a smaller room on a different floor with no price adjustment and no apology. I was happy the room did not smell this time-- BUT-- there were several dead cockroaches in the room. The next morning we asked for the dead roaches to be vacuumed up and then we had to ask again that afternoon. (they did finally vacuum up the roaches) The room was an ADA room and the blinds were broken but it did not smell like dog. Breakfast day one- with 75 minutes left on the breakfast time most all the food was wiped out (eggs, yogurts, milk, oj) and ALL the tables were dirty. It was a busy summer morning with lots of kids running around why would they have not planned for the crowd? Breakfast day two-- much better. Clean and stocked. (and two people working) This was by no means the Hampton Inn we depend on. I will not be back.

I even tried calling the hotel hoping to get someone's attention. We were told that they had to check our ID and get the incidental charge handled and that's why the digital key didn't work. Upon entering our room, we were hit in the face with this smell of a mix of orange glo meets fabuloso and fruit. The smell lingered our entire 2 night stay. Definitely clean though. The bathroom was spacious which was nice and had toilets that could suck down a bath towel -- odd to point that out but weak toilets see to be the norm. As a statuses honors member, was a bit surprised that we weren't at least offered bottles of water. Refrigerator in the room did NOT get cold, it was just barely south of room temp. One morning they had biscuits with breakfast -- those were very nice.
