We stayed one night while touring the sites in and around Bardstown. The rooms are clean, comfortable & adequate. The rooms do offer the small nice to haves such as small fridg, hair dryer, shampoo, etc. (I only bring this up because we stayed at a Microtel in Nashville that did NOT have those things.) The staff we had contact... More

I find that I would be repeating the "Perfectly Fine" as to comment. Nice to be away from the by-pass highway. Not a cookie cutter hotel. My second visit to Bardstown and I like the central location. A small mention: It would be nice to have the availability of skim or 1% milk at breakfast.

We stayed her for two nights as we toured around Bourbon Country. This was a very pleasant motel. We were greeted warmly at check in, The rooms were standard yet clean. The complimentary breakfast was very adequate. Very good property for the price.

We found the Best Western and were surprised and pleased to find king bed accommodations. They offered a hot breakfast the following morninbg which was pretty good food in my opinion. They hat hot scrambled eggs,... More

I was still on phone with desk clerk when I realized I was stuck. Fortunately had AAA to call to pull me out but clerk offered to stay on phone... More

Thank you for staying with us here at the Best Western General Nelson Inn. Being just four blocks from downtown does make it easier when you want to get out and enjoy the nice winter weather that we have been having. More

I stayed here one night during work. Staff was great, both during check in and out. Even called the room to make sure everything was ok. Wow. Room was nicely appointed, but a tiny bit dusty, and a little dirt around the wall. Very minor. Slept great, beds very comfortable. Good breakfast. I would definely stay again.

The General Nelson is my favorite hotel in Bardstown. I have stayed at a few while visiting family, but always have been disappointed. Not here. This year I stayed over Christmas, and was pleasantly surprised. As mentioned in previous reviews, this is an older hotel. It shows in many ways... but the operator proves "older" can still be "clean." To... More
