Charm. That's the first word to describe this property. Built in 1816, much of the original ediface is used for travelers. An ample porch greets you with picturesque views of the Ohio River. The hotel is right off Main Street, and the architecture has been preserved to attract tourists who like to soak in americana.
The room had its own lock and Marsha, the hostess gives travelers their own key to the room and the front door. Our room was a part of the original property. It now consists of a queen iron bed, 2 wingback chairs, 2 windows that look onto the porch, a filled-in fireplace, a secretary, a tiny area that is just right for a microwave and fridge with a coffee pot and coffee. The bath comes with a ball-and-claw tub with a shower attachment and surrounding shower curtain.
We got a great rate. If you like a very firm mattress, you are in luck! Even though history has been preserved, central heat and air are provided and a ceiling fan to keep away stuffiness.
If you are looking for cleanliness, you have it here! The property could do with a good renovation but the colorful accents provide personality and character. Besides to renovate would mean a rise in rate. Remember that.
We ate really good Mexican food for dinner and an EXCELLENT breakfast at the Main St. Diner. But take a couple of days to relax and soak up the rest it provides. You wont go wrong.
