Clean but noisy.

Cute hotel. Clean. The one big downside was that the hotel often hosts events in their bar area, which you can see pictures of on the website, and this meant two things: 1.) you are not able to use the bar as a guest during the events which last most of the night 6pm-midnight; and 2.) the hotel is very small and you can hear the very loud event all night long. My family went to bed around 8:30 but the party on the night we stayed went until very late in the night and kept us all awake. If you are traveling as a family, you may want to make sure you are not staying on an event night.

Great property with unique rooms. Loved the location for its walkability to nearby restaurants and the riverfront. Parking can be a minor inconvenience if your room is in the annex building as it's more of a walk unless you can get street parking that's closer. My advice would be to pull up and drop off luggage, etc.. at the door and then proceed to parking behind the main building. Just something to be aware of if you have mobility issues. Overall, I would highly recommend staying here.

Quaint

The rooms are adorable and very comfortable. The only bad is they hold venues and it can be pretty loud late into the night. I slept through it but some people may not like it.

Great boutique hotel that has been rehabbed in a strip of historic buildings in downtown Paducah - steps away from great restaurants and charming stores.

We were wrapping up a 10-day trip to East Tennessee. We stayed at The 1857 on our way home to Southwest Missouri. The 1857 offered a peaceful night's sleep in beautiful downtown Paducah.

Really nice rooms design amd staff. Reasonable rates and easy in amd out. The beds are nice but verrry creaky. A small but easy to fix detail is to het rid of fake flowers and plant pots and put some actual ones that are small compact low maintenance and dont need full sun. Location is great amd they were very clean top to bottom. The local artwork is a very nice touch in a community thats known for lots of local talent!
