The location was great, the breakfast was delicious but most of all the “family” staff were wonderful…so accommodating, especially the 7am coffee right outside our door.

If I had to name anything it would be parking. To be expected because of location, but still inconvenient.

All of it. Staff was excellent and John was a friendly great host. Breakfast was good and the tour of the original jail and history lesson all ended a very enjoyable stay.

The breakfast was excellent. It was fresh and delicious. Paul, the owner was very gracious and welcoming. You could tell he cared about his guests. We enjoyed our tour of the jail. The location of the property was perfect for us. We were a block away from the shops and restaurants and we enjoyed walking to them many times during our stay. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The staff were friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Flexible breakfast time would have been nice.

Lovely room in a unique venue. The jail in the back of the building and its history were fascinating. The breakfast was excellent and the staff very accommodating. The location in the center of town was perfect.

I'm so happy we stayed at Jailer's Inn. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and provided many suggestions. We were staying here primarily to visit the bourbon trail and we had a wonderful experience all around. The inn was incredibly comfortable and relaxing. We could not believe how comfortable the bed was. Breakfast was delicious in the courtyard. The courtyard was a very beautiful spot to enjoy our breakfast. I would absolutely stay again.

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - it was all just wonderful!!!

We stayed for 6 nights and breakfast every morning was wonderful... not too much and not too little - and talking with Paul was such fun. The room was so fascinating (the dungeon!) with the huge hand hewed beams on the ceiling and the history that was attached to that room. All of the staff was friendly and willing made time to talk with us. No request was too difficult. But the Inn Keeper - Paul was absolutely the best! An amazing wealth of information and so engaging no matter what the topic! The Jailer's Inn is back on our bucket list -- we will be back!!!

Can’t find anything to complain about

Very unique property with excellent staff and customer service. We had to leave before breakfast service started and the manager made sure we left with our hands full of fresh made muffins.

Nothing. We loved everything!!

We loved EVERYTHING! The room was so comfortable and they refreshed it daily which doesn’t happen anymore and was totally unexpected. The staff was extremely accommodating and friendly. The food was delicious and was accompanied by bits of history about the property. We will be back.

Bring your own pillow - only issue we had was that the pillows were small hard foam squares.

Fantastic property and incredible breakfast. Scott the innkeeper was informative and friendly. We will definitely make this a regular destination!
