Have stayed here many times. It's a very convenient location for downtown and the quilt museum. Lots of restaurants in a short, safe walk. Having said that, this trip was a bit of a disappointment. Just wasn't as welcoming, as comfortable. Not really sure what is different but we usually leave it smiling; this time saying we should try someplace else.

Easy parking right outside. Lovely stylish room, comfy bed, large shower. close to town facilities. Friendly and helpful staff. Only negative was that walls quite thin so bit of noise from neighbouring room early morning. Very pleasant stay.

As of this writing, parking is allowed on the street in Paducah and I parked right out the front door…very convenient. The room was very clean and the staff is polite and quite helpful when I asked about dinner options. I was only in town one night as I was passing through, but if I am in Paducah again I will most definitely stay in hotel 1857 again.

Friendly staff. Beautiful remodel of an old brick building, right on the edge of the historic district. About two blocks from the river. Rooms have a rustic, high-end vibe. A bar with limited hours is in the back of the building. There is no elevator to get to the second floor rooms, and our room picked up some street noise, but our stay was about as good as it gets.

I really enjoyed my stay at the 1857. The bed was so comfortable! It felt so homey. The small shops and the river area were a perfect combination of relaxation and comfort that I needed while in town for my mother's surgery. Staff were kind and available whenever needed. I would definitely recommend this hotel and will definitely stay here again if the need arises.

The 1857 Hotel is a beautifully renovated historic building that blends classic charm with modern comfort. Our room was stylish, clean, and thoughtfully designed — a perfect balance of old and new. The location couldn’t be better, right in the heart of downtown Paducah. It’s just steps from the Market House Square, great restaurants, local shops, and the famous mural wall along the riverfront. A wonderful boutique hotel that captures the spirit of Paducah — highly recommend for anyone visiting the area!

The style was very different than common hotels. Old fashioned. The bar area was closed to the public for a private meeting event and I wished it was open to the public. Last minute lodging landed me at a retirement party.
