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.

The location of the 1857 was great and an easy walk to many restaurants, shops and the river. Our room was on the first floor and had plenty of room with high ceilings and a comfy bed. The desk staff was friendly and helpful. We would stay here again.

This is a very well done repurposing of a cool space. It's very convenient for exploring the riverside area of downtown Paducah.
