Very unique. The room had everything our rooms at the Marriott had but this room was so unique. So much more personality. And downtown Paducah was rocking on a Saturday night. We will come again and stay for a long weekend. Maybe book a live performance across the street. Everything is within walking distance.

Charming Boutique Hotel

Charming hotel -- exceptionally clean (our room smelled like fresh soap), stylishly furnished, comfortable bed, blackout shade on window. Casual, but stylish, atmosphere and friendly employees. Quick check in/out, ample free parking, multiple good restaurants, shops and bars within a short walk. Our only negatives were that their internet isn't the strongest, and there was no door or curtain on the shower area (no tub in our room).
Hotel bar (sometimes closed for private events)
Just inside door of room
Vanity, toilet on left, shower on right.
Queen bed, very comfortable

The 1857

Collin called to confirm the day before my arrival and on arrival he was very welcoming and went out of his way to point out walking directions to downtown and the waterfront and said if I needed anything he would be there to help. This old building was in beautiful condition with local artists work showcased each month. The room was comfortable, clean, and had everything I needed. The town is original with restaurants, shops, and a great place to walk around right outside the front door. I would definitely stay again,

Loved the cleanliness of our room and the staff were really courteous and helpful. The bed was comfortable and for our travel needs it was just fine. We stayed in room 104 and it did have a musty smell when entering the room, don’t know if it’s because of the age of the building but it was noticeable. Would stay there again if ever in the Paducah area.

Loved it!

Lovely place. Located in the very walkable historic downtown area of Paducah. Lots of restaurant options, coffee shop and a great bakery within a couple of hundred feet of the hotel. Our room was beautiful, clean and comfortable, if a bit quirky. The bath/shower area is 1/3 of the room, and this is the first time I have seen a chain mail shower curtain… Great place for solo or a couple, or even a couple with a dog. Maybe not so much for parents with 3 kids in tow. We loved it here.
