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

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.
