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 were unable to order dinner as the barkeep informed us the restaurant was booked with several large groups and the kitchen couldn't handle our group of 5.

Drinks and apps (fried green tomatoes) were great and service was friendly. Bar area was also comfortable and noise level was mild at 5 PM on a weekday.

The atmosphere alone is worth the stop -- you can truly feel the history the moment you walk in, from the preserved architecture to the well-kept interior spaces that make the tavern feel both authentic and welcoming. The food is just as impressive. There's a delicious variety on the menu, with something for everyone, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes you get. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. One of the highlights is the famous Jesse James Room, which adds a unique historical touch to your visit. Knowing the stories tied to the tavern while you dine really makes the experience stand out from anywhere else. Between the great food, fair prices, friendly service, and the incredible history behind the building, Talbott Tavern delivers on every level. Highly recommend for both locals and visitors looking for a true Bardstown experience!

My wife and I spent a couple of nights in the Chapeze Suite at the Kentucky Bourbon House. When we…read morefirst arrived, we were charmed by the historic feel of the place and also pleased with the amenities. Nice bathroom and furnishings. The owners added hospitality by having a full coffee service, snacks, and some cereal for a light breakfast. The house is also right on the central circle in Bardstown, so walking to restaurants was very convenient. However, this house is right on the main thoroughfare in Bardstown, and less than 50 ft from the road. The constant traffic noise made it very difficult to sleep, as the bed is located right next to the window facing the street. On Saturday, the noise was constant until after 2:30 am and on Sunday the noise did not abate until after 12:30 am. Each morning the noise started again about 6 am. This was a constant barrage of loud mufflers, pickups and diesel trucks. There is also a traffic light out on the street so we heard these noisy vehicles accelerating from the light. If you have an issue with noise at night I recommend that you investigate other properties. This room, with taxes and fees, was over $200 per night and I don't feel we got that type of value

I was expecting a Hampton Inn, but it has changed to something called "Spark". This is now a bargain basement hotel, and it shows. There is no housekeeping unless you specifically request it, so no clean towels. The breakfast buffet has been downgraded, as well. I will say, however, that the staff at the front desk was still friendly and accomodating. I will NOT be staying here again though.

I was in the upstairs corner Lincoln Suite and the stone walls are thick and several layers of draperies contribute to the quietude. Although the building is old, many modernized remodels have been completed. However, do not expect an up-to-date type space. For example, there is a slight step up into the bathroom. The door to the room also rattled whenever someone else closed a door elsewhere .... Or maybe that was Lincoln's ghost? I was too tired to fret about it and slept well. Would recommend staying here at least once for a unique experience. Breakfast was included in the room rate. Menu is in the room to contemplate ahead of time. Went down to the dining area prior to my check out and had a nice dining experience. Ordered the Traditional Breakfast option and it was well prepared and satisfying, so overall also a great value. There is also a Keurig coffeemaker in the room. Staff are all very welcoming and proficient. Parking was free next to the property.

4.5 What a pleasant and enjoyable stay! We were completely…read moresurprised by the comfort and conveniences provided at the Talbott Inn. We had looked at the historic rooms at the nearby Tavern (our reason for visiting), but decided not to take our chance on stairs we'd have to negotiate to get to a room. However, the Inn has a very large and convenient elevator, so that's the place we chose. (Note: the elevator is very slow...but what's the rush?) The reception desk and area is small but adequate with odds and ends of tchotchkes for sale. Receptionist was very polite. Our room was spacious! And...I mean bigger than the photos represent and much larger than we imagined. Large comfy bed, plenty of soft and medium pillows, fridge, microwave, chairs to lounge, relax, or read. Complementary bottles of water, coffee and coffee maker. All nice touches. And thermostat was easy to adjust. Bathroom was fine, clean, well-stocked with one notable exception, which we find in nearly every hotel we stay in these days: No towel rods to hang wet towels or wash cloths. That is, except one hook high up on the back of the bathroom door. (Virtually out of reach for my wife. We find this an unreasonable inconvenience in all our travels....(so only a half point deduction here.) Windows provided beautiful views of the square and were seemingly well-insulated....so no terrible traffic noises to keep us awake during the night. (OK...A few trucks in the morning, but not too early.) All-in-all we give this lodging very high marks and our solid recommendation. Oh, and very reasonably priced to boot!

The shower fixtures were loose but functioning & water hot. We did not call the front desk to exchange rooms because it was after midnight before we realized that it wasn't improving. We were tired & talked ourselves into not getting redressed & packing everything up & that we could manage since we were leaving early. When we informed the desk staff upon checkout of the problems, they were apologetic & assured us that it will be addressed. We did not stay for the complimentary breakfast.
