This is a unique hotel and you can easily spend they day there with all it has to offer. Definitely set up more for adult entertainment and relaxation after some bourbon tours. Close to down town Bardstown which is so cute.I would recommend to stay here. Rooms were nice and clean. Staff was friendly.
