Clean quite with a unique space created from a 1800s building in the arts district of Paducah. The reuse of this space would have got 5 stars from me alone... exposed brick, i think they used recycled We had dinner and breakfast at local restaurants within walking distance.

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.
