The Benchmark Inn

09/10/2026

Augusta, Kentucky just got some well-deserved spotlight. 🏞️

WCPO's feature on Augusta captures exactly what we love about this river town: honey pie at The Beehive, small-batch bourbon at Augusta Distillery, a ferry ride across the Ohio, and history around every corner.

Here's the secret: a day trip to Augusta is never really enough. Once you've walked Riverside Drive at sunset and tried the local bourbon, you'll want to stay the night.

That's what The Benchmark Inn is here for. Comfortable, character-filled rooms just steps from it all, plus coffee on-site to start your morning right.

Fall is coming and rooms fill up fast. Turn your Augusta day trip into a getaway.

Book your stay at The Benchmark Inn.

We’re listed on Expedia because it gives us great exposure and helps travelers discover The Benchmark Inn. ❤️

BUT… there’s something you should know before you book! 👀

💰 Want the best price? BOOK DIRECT!

When you book directly with us, you skip the third-party fees and get our direct rate — often saving 50% or more!
