We enjoyed our stay and thought the surroundings delightful. The only drawback was the amount of light which shone through our window throughout the night.

Perfection in Paducah!

WOW! They have converted several old 3 story, high ceilinged buildings near the waterfront. The room design, decor and layout are amazing. We were looking for a room with a tub and they upgraded us. Incredible, especially for the price. Super quiet and a perfect location. We walked everywhere. Will definitely stay here every time we are in Paducah! Shout out to Michelle at the front desk she is great!!

Great stay

We stayed at the new wing of the hotel which was very comfortable. The mattress was memory foam. The hotel's location is super nice with restaurants, shops and the river nearby. Don't miss the national quilt museum. it is walking distance

Okay-ish

Overall, nice enough property. Room cleanliness was a bit of an issue with a dirty coffee pod machine and spider webs in the interior window sill. Was told the bar would be open until 10pm. Attempted to go to the bar at 8:30pm, and was told it was closed due to low turnout. With inconsistent hours, I'm sure the turnout is low. Lost my $75-$100 I would have spent.
