It was a beautiful property, Michelle was lovely to walk me the annex and makes sure I was settled. The room was beautiful, spacious, clean and quiet, absolutely need to stay again soon. The location was amazing, beautiful walking distance to water street, the river, great little coffee shop, Etcetera; bakery Kirchhof’s ; dinner at Stella’s. Fantastic first stay in Paducah.

The only complaint is we stayed on the main level. There were children above us. Walls can be thin and children like to play.

This place is a gem! Historic building with modern amenities in the downtown district about a block from the river. Cannot beat the location or the vibe with so much within a few steps- restaurants, bars, shops and museums. If you’re in Paducah, this is the hotel you want.

This is not the peaceful romantic stay you expect

I really enjoyed the town and atmosphere of the hotel but the experience with the hotel staff was underwhelming. We booked this stop as a nice break to our travels. We were very impressed with the amenities the rooms had to offer. The day before the trip we were called to inform us the bar was closed for a private event, no big deal. Also seeing if we could check in later due to being short staff. So we arrive to the hotel to find the private event was a wedding and unable to use the entrance by the parking lot which we dealt with. So all was well until the wedding began and you could hear everything as it was right out our room window. We were trying to get a good night’s sleep as we had a ten hour drive early the next day but that was impossible. All the noise from the wedding was heard in our room. The worst part was the bass from the dj that shook our room and made it impossible to sleep. We patiently waited until 1015 figuring there would be some noise restrictions. Then we finally called the front desk who informed us it would be wrapping up any minute. Instead it went on for another hour. It would have been nice for the hotel when they called to inform us of the wedding and the dj during our stay. We requested management to contact us regarding our stay and that never happened. So be aware of events at the hotel before booking your stay.

Open shower

So the hotel is very nice, not a standard hotel. Our room was across the street from where you check in and there isn’t designated parking. I went with my mother and due to the week we went hotel rooms were scarce. So the hotel was nice, we slept great however there is not a shower door or. Curtain. When traveling with my mother we would’ve appreciated privacy when showering but there isn’t any. The open shower is in a direct view of the rest of the room
