I can't express enough positive feedback!!! This is, by far, the best hotel I have stayed in. The friendliness of the staff, the breakfast, the room, all were EXCEPTIONAL!!! Of all the hotels I have stayed in offering breakfast, none compare to Distill Inn!! But my favorite perk was the Keurig coffee machine. It makes lattes, coffee, macchiato, so wonderful! Truly a 5+ experience! So glad I found this on hotels.com. You will LOVE your stay here!

Remodeled Red Roof Inn. They filled in the indoor pool and made it an indoor pickleball court, which I know is popular. For a bourbon themed hotel, you would think that the bartender would know what Old Forrester is, but he didn't. Comfortable and clean with a good breakfast. Great, welcoming staff. A bit pricey though.

Definitely on my top 10 list

If this isn’t a 4-star hotel, it should be! The beds were firm but soft. The room was beautifully decorated. The breakfast was good, and the people working at the front desk made you feel like you were checking into a resort. The blackout curtains were pretty good and you could hear a bit of traffic noise sometimes, but we will definitely stay there in the future.

Loved it!

This is such a cute little hotel! The rooms were recently remodeled and are so beautiful. I love the whiskey theme. The bar and breakfast were great. The only thing of note is that there's no elevator, but the stairs shouldn't be a problem for most people. Staff was super friendly, too!
