This was one of the most wonderful apartment stays we have ever found. Clean, safe, quiet, near everything and very chic.

We enjoy staying in older hotels because they have such a unique character. This one was right downtown in a historical area, but it still had plenty of parking in a public lot behind it. The check-in staff were very helpful and friendly. It was very clean. Being an older building, there were come slightly unusual elements. The shower was in a small room with no door, so our floor got wet the first time we used it. The lighting was a little dark. The Edison bulbs were great for character, but very hard to see to read. I would definitely stay there again.

The front desk was exceptionally professional. The annex where we stayed safe as well. But. The room didn’t have any space to put your clothes or suitcase and that was concerning. The key code didn’t work and the shower could have used a curtain. But overall. This is a place we would return to as the location excellent and the staff professional.

So neat to feel surrounded by the walls of olde Paducah, and to imagine times past. Updated to meet every expectation of a modern facility, but in good taste.

Oddly laid out room. Very uncomfortable chairs and bed. Door to the room wouldn't latch unless we pushed on it. Told them at check in and two days later is was still not fixed.

What a unique property right on the edge of town! Walking distance to everything. The staff was so friendly and the room was clean, quiet and comfortable. They have a fabulous bar/lounge area that is the place to be for locals & guests alike. I’ll be back!

The air-conditioning system is set cool only. The room and bathroom are freezing. They let us use a small space heater. The rain shower was nice but I prefer a bathtub.

Love this property! It’s so beautiful and clean! I’ve stayed in 4 different rooms and each time they are beyond perfect! My most recent stay in the new Annex was GORGEOUS! All the staff is so friendly! Love how LGBTQ inclusive they are! Will definitely stay here anytime I’m in Paducah!

The room was beautiful but very stuffy. We were unable to get our room to cool down so it was a little difficult to sleep but everything else was great. We had drinks with friends in the bar with good service. It is easy to walk to restaurants, bars, and shops.

The shower in our room was inconsistent. It didn't get warm enough and the water flow was almost at a trickle at some points. We ended up using the tub hand sprayer in the shower area because it was hot enough and gave out a consistent flow. The shower area itself was gorgeous, but it seemed to be more 'form over function'. As a paying customer 'form' is appreciate but 'function' is more important.

Quaint and historic little hotel in the heart of the old downtown just one block from the river, staff was extremely friendly and let us barge in on their semi private Super Bowl party. A very fun change of pace from a Holiday Inn or other large chain hotels. Would highly recommend!

Disappointed in the hype of this hotel.
Lost power in our outlets. Thermostat did not work. Hot water was intermittent. Walls are paper thin. You can hear quite conversations from the next room.

Lovely hotel in a beautiful old building. Colin at the front desk was very kind and helpful. Room was huge and faced the street but it was just too dark. Need another floor lamp or ceiling lamp. And really needed a desk. Plenty of room for a small one. A good stay.

Convenient to river walk and some good shops and restaurants nearby. No breakfast at the hotel. No drawers for clothes and no desk to work on in the room. If you don’t have a car, fast, efficient transportation in Paducah is somewhat difficult. There are only two Ubers but taxis can be arranged.

Rooms were nice, but kind of cold. We stayed on a Wednesday so it wasn’t busy. I feel if we had stayed on a weekend, the noise would have made it hard to sleep. Can pretty much hear everything & everyone. It’s a very cool historic hotel.
