An old hotel, but in a cool way. Bars and restaurants nearby but was quiet at night. Very friendly staff and good coffee. Contactless check-in was easy to understand but it was a little creepy being alone in the lobby when I got there at about 9 pm. Probably haunted. :)

Nice building and furnishings. My room was a little dog-eared for the high price tag. The lack of any staff or hospitality whatsoever was downright creepy. The pandemic is over, bring back a desk clerk at least.

We really loved the historical atmosphere of the hotel. Loved looking at the rooms and antiques. The staff were very helpful and we enjoyed having breakfast at Le Petit. We would certainly chose this hotel to stay in again!!

Nice hotel but mildewed
Interesting stay. The hotel was beautiful once. Paint new, but just smelled like mold and mildew, couldn’t get it out of my nose. It was Monday so, no bar. Room was large, bedroom and sitting area. Room was clean of dirt and dust. Chairs it sitting area chair ripped, refrigerator did not get cold, no in room coffee. Bathroom had a walk in shower but very short

Beautiful exterior, Crummy amenities. Not ideal.
The Black Hawk Hotel, although beautiful outside and on the main floor, the hotel room itself and the amenities within were less than ideal. Firstly, there was nobody at the front for check-in, nor was anyone visible on the premises for our stay that night. When getting into bed that night, I noticed immediately that there appeared to be a large yellow stain on the white sheets, and a large blood stain on the pillow case. Although both were laundered stains, it was shocking that a hotel of this caliber would have put these bedclothes back on the bed. In the morning, it took nearly ten minutes for the water in the shower to come to temperature, and there was barely any water pressure. When exiting the shower, I realized that two of the three bath towels, though soft, were incredibly frayed along the long edges. Again, I am shocked these made it back to the room in their condition after having been laundered.
