What can I say... it's cheap. My room was clean, but very dated. But it was cheap.

My husband loved the quirkiness of the place. I felt it smelly heavily of cigarette smokes. On check-in, we were supposed to have queen room and they had given them all away. We had to take a full size bed and we barely slept all night.

Enjoyed my stay

It was nice and convenient for an event at the cathedral. Cute old-timey downtown hotel with lots of room. Super friendly staff helped me with finding a hair dryer when I forgot mine at home.

A night at the Canfield

Well, we knew it was an old historic hotel preserved in time like a time capsule. Retro furnishings from the 60s and 70s and quirky. We knew it wasn't a Hilton, and that was fine with us. For the price you can't beat it. Lots of places to eat and chill right around the hotel. Expectations are everything, and we weren't expecting much, but for a place to sleep it was fine. Lots of character if you like that old quirky throwback stuff. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again. Bed was comfy, large room, fridge, micro, basic. And that's all we expected. I like high end hotels, Hilton was booked, but this was just fine.

First there is no way to lock the door from the inside, you can only lock it from the outside. In addition, we walked in and the gentleman at the front asked us if we are staying in our specific room number. We never met or talked to this guy, in addition he said when the bar was completely open to the hotel. As two females traveling alone this place did not feel safe. We needed up driving over three hours home and left right away.

I thought this would be a cool old building with a view. Instead it was a dirty old building with lots of P U. It’s got loads of potential but you can’t sleep on dirty potential. Some clean up and remodeling would go a long way.

Elevator was broken BUT I was alerted & told I could cancel my reservation w/o any penalty. I stayed anyway (a couple flights of stairs was good exercize). TV did not work properly in my initial room BUT was given a better room with a good TV. Staff did their best so I will use Canfield again next time I stay in Dbq. [I've stayed in Hiltons & Hyatt's that have also had 'things' break down. What's important is how staff responds!]
