It’s old so it’s going to have some quirks. The pull down shades in my room wouldn’t stay down and when I finally did finally get them to, they were pretty dirty on the inside. Otherwise the room was very clean.

It’s in a great location right on the river and walking distance to everything downtown. Although there are several bars right across the street who’s corded was kind of loud at 1 am on the sidewalks. The restaurant on the ground floor off is the lobby is delicious.

Room was a little small

Location was great

Because of its age it has that old building smell. It was very clean but a little musty.

Quaint, historical and nicely appointed with antique furniture. Restaurant and bar were very good and staff efficient and friendly.

This is terrible but I do love to relax with tv and the Dish Network offerings are slim. It’s 75% sports and various HBO and with rain in the area the service was out 50% of the evening. WiFi isn’t strong. At 107/night before taxes the rather compact Queen river view rooms on 2nd floor in the 1937 addition were kind of expensive as juxtaposed against 115/night for the historic yet thoroughly remodeled Hotel Morgan in Morgantown, a similar type of property whose rooms were completely updated, far larger, had lightening fast WiFi, refridgerators and brand new quiet and effective HVAC. Our rooms had blinds that didn’t totally close and no blackout drapes so if you need darkness to sleep this could be an issue as could be the HVAC which didn’t stop running and didn’t take all humidity out of the room, rooms felt damp. And although it didn’t bother us at all, be aware that they will need a credit card to hold $40/room for incidentals and damage. I don’t recall seeing this policy before we appeared at check in.

The history oozes from the walls and is displayed in photos and artifacts throughout the hotel. The staff is super friendly. The formal restaurant is really good! Great risotto, liver and onions, pineapple pie! The restaurant might be under rated. It is seriously very good. Breakfast was great! The $5 off any item if you don’t want the free basic breakfast makes any item still almost free. Bathrooms are nice and better than the rooms in our experience. Rooms are appropriate for a historic property that hasn’t been renovated. The rooms greatly vary from what we could see. Some are in the original building, some in the (still historic) 1937 addition. I’d advise you call the desk and discuss what you are most looking for in a room when making a reservation.

Had to change rooms. Loved the river room in first room but was not informed was an adjoining room and couple next door spoke very loud. So we changed rooms and the 2nd didn’t have what the first did, lacked a chair by the window and first room was a better view. Wasn’t offered assistance with changing rooms which would have been helpful. If had been informed adjoining room would have requested before hand diff room. Not offered discount for inconvenience. Have been to property many times over years and do love it. Front desk personnel is very nice each time we stay. Had our pet so we were able to eat at a table by piano and lounge staff very attentive, food was great. Also breakfast ate at a Starbucks table and the staff there wonderful.

I didn't mind it, but some visitors might find it a bit worn. It's not a glamorous, fancy place. It's a working old hotel in a charming small old city.

The location was the best: directly on the Ohio River, on the main street. It's an authentic old hotel. The furniture in my room seemed antique & solid. I walked everywhere in this lovely old town.

The breakfast was not only very tasty, one order was enough for two to eat quite apply.

No fridge in room for left overs. Loud sounds from Friday night bar or restaurant music.

Location to many things to see and visit! Great food and parks.

Stayed in May 2025

The hotel and rooms are very tired. A fridge would have been good.

It has a lot of character and the location near the river is good. The restaurant food was good but the portions were excessive.

The hair dryer in my room was not working, but was able to air dry with an open window.

Loved the history of the hotel. The furnishings are beautiful throughout the hotel, including the room. Helpful tips provided by the staff. Breakfast in the Gun Room was good. Requested a river view and got it.

Both restaurants were great. Had dinner and breakfast

If you are looking for any kind of updates, you won't find them here. While I appreciate keeping in time with the Riverboat era, cracked and peeling plaster, broken tiles, outlets that didn't work, etc were common. It could use a freshening up while remaining true to the time period. Our room smelled musty upon entering, but then had a faint sewage smell when the AC was turned on. It did dissipate. The staff was very friendly. The room was clean and bed very comfortable. Overall, we had a nice time.

Pealing paint in the room and could use some TLC

Great location, great history. The bar and restaurant, lobby area and buffet breakfast were inviting, cozy and delicious. We walked all around the historic town and enjoyed the sitting area in the lobby in the evening.

No roof access, no ghost tour or story telling.

Dinner was delicious, breakfast was hot and satisfying. Hot shower, decent bed.. could have been better. Ambiance and decor were amazing, beautiful woodwork throughout. Excellent location, close to everything.

Firs time at this hotel and it won't be my last.

The location was beautiful. My room had a nice view of the river.

We had to wait about 15 minutes for someone to return to the front desk to check us in which put us behind for our dinner plans. I had reserved a River view room while it did have a view of the river you had to look over a parking lot and cars to see it. Just not what I was expecting from other photos. The room was pretty small for a queen but it was only for one night so it was fine. Definitely historical hotel. It was fine overall for just the short time we were there but don’t know if I could spend multiple days.

It was a great location to walk to the river and close walking and driving distance of everything else.
