Talbott Inn

We came here due to the history of the Talbott tavern and the location right in town. Well we were very happy here. The location cannot be beat. The rooms were modern and well appointed. And the most important thing. Clean! The staff here was very helpful. The breakfast is just ok but decent for an included breakfast. We ate it all but one morning that we wanted to try a local place. Overall a great experience. We will return!

The location of this newer hotel is great. Right downtown and next door to the Old Talbott Inn. The staff was very friendly! They have a small gift shop. If you stay you also get free breakfast over at the Tavern. The only thing not making this 4 or 5 stars are the rooms themselves. The rooms are smallish. And our room only had a bed. No chair. So your only option is to lay on bed. Thankfully we had a camping chair with. It's a boutique hotel, would be awesome if they had a little sitting area outside.

My fiancé and I had fantastic stay at Talbott Inn when we stayed in Bardstown! We read some great reviews on the Inn when we were planning a bourbon trail trip and were impressed with what we saw. Let me tell you that this place is a great place to stay. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. We met the owner who gave us the history of the Inn and it's famous guests (Abraham Lincoln, Jesse James, George Patton). The room we were in (Daniel Boone room) was spacious and perfect for two people. The breakfast included each morning was the best continental breakfast that I've ever had. I can't say enough good things about the Talbott Inn!

At the last minute, we decided to stop in Bardstown to do some Bourbon shopping. We were lucky enough to get a room at the Talbott Inn. The Inn is one of the oldest buildings in Bardstown, built in 1779. Many famous people have stayed here, including Abraham Lincoln and Jesse James. We stayed in the newer part our room was large and very comfortable. There is a restaurant and bar at the Inn we didn't eat at the restaurant but did enjoy the bar. Just a heads up that everything in Bardstown closes up early. The only disappointment was the breakfast. It was cold, and the waitress looked like she wanted to be anywhere but there.

Went to dine at the Historic Talbott Tavern. Beforehand we looked through the gift shop which was filled with lots of interesting items. Since it is located in Bardstown, KY which is the Bourbon Capital of the World it is filled with just about anything having to do with bourbon including candy, glasses and bourbon cigars!? After eating, we were allowed to tour the Inn. It is very rich in history so I took photos of the many bits of historic tales of who had stayed there before. We couldn't see the inside of any of the rooms because they were filled completely up. Since we only live 45 minutes away we wouldn't have a real need to do so, but having no vacancies is a good sign. Built in 1779! and here the village where I live is historic - incorporated in 1855. They beat us by a long shot!

Just stayed there. Rooms were clean (check in time 4pm) bar and dinner food was good. Country breakfast served on weekends was very disappointing, cold scrambled eggs, cold biscuits and gravy. Went to breakfast (Pats kitchen)Sunday am for a good breakfast ! Recommend that or Harrods bakery (yum Yums )

My husband and I stayed here for three night while in town for a wedding. I have stayed here before so I can say with certainty that it has really went downhill. The room had a musty odor, the carpet was unclean, and the furniture was not in good condition. Our towels were dingy and literally had holes in them! I went to the check in desk to inquire about a to go order and was told that they couldn't do that because the kitchen was backed up and they had a large party there. I understand being short staffed, but after the condition of our room that was just another disappointment. They do serve breakfast in the morning which was pretty good. On our second morning they were out of coffee and coffee cups. We did ask, but we got our breakfast and finished it while waiting so we gave up and left. I did attempt to reach out to management directly, but the voicemail box was full and my call to the front desk went unanswered. I know this place can be quite nice and a good experience, but that was not the case this visit and even though the location is nice, there are newer, well kept options in Bardstown now that I will try next time.

We checked in and was greeted in a friendly manner. We booked a queen bed because they didn't have king size bed. The room was comfortable but there was only one table in the room so we had to use a luggage rack with the serving tray as a table. Beginning at 7 pm, a band plays which makes it very hard to hear the tv or talk. Nothing was mentioned about this when you make the reservation. We weren't told until we arrived at the hotel. Should have been informed about this before booking! We were given the room right over where the band was playing. There were empty rooms not that close to where the band. It would have been nice to have a choice of room. I was very disappointed with my stay at Old Talbots and then where you have to make your reservation charged a fee of $17.99! This is another thing we should have been told when booking. The Inn does not take reservations over the phone. I would Not recommend this hotel to anyone and will never stay there again!

Hotel beds were horrible pillows were horrible the noise next to the room by the street is horrible and the service if you're not out of the room exactly at 11:00 they're banging at your door saying you know check out is 11 I will never stay there again

The reason this hotel gets 2 stars is for its beauty, historic value and cleanliness. That's it. The service was poor. After driving since 4 am, it was very disappointing to hear that our room would not be ready until 4:30. No apologies, no compensations. The young man at the check in desk didn't even act like he cared. The room was clean, but the bed was so uncomfortable, we got hardly a wink of sleep. It was lop sided and I thought I would roll off. When the restaurant is full, as hotel guests, there was no where for us to park after a long day on the bourbon trail. A 3 day stay quickly turned into a 2 day stay. PS. Because of the age of the building, there are no elevators.
