Very clean and comfortable bed

Stayed in June 2025

It was all good.

This is a great hotel. Small, great location being located downtown and within walking distance to the riverfront, multiple great restaurants and a historical museum. Free parking, Staff was friendly and helpful, rooms were clean, comfortable and unique. Pricier than we usually pay on road trips, but the 1857 was totally worth it. Recommend!

No elevator.

I love the charm and old style feeling of the place, for example the high ceilings, expose brick, and the separation of the space.

Everything was amazing!

The property was amazing and within walking distance to several restaurants and other establishments. The bar inside was a huge plus. Will definitely be coming back.

The lighting in the room was too dim. It could use a few female-friendly touches like better bathroom lighting, vanity kit and a make-up mirror.

Excellent location - easy walk to restaurants and shops or to stroll along the river. Nice historic ambience.

A little cumbersome getting luggage to the upstairs rooms, but so worth the effort!

This was my second stay here, and this is one of my favorite hotels! I love the exposed brick walls, high beamed ceilings, tall windows that overlook the brick courtyard, upscale, elegant furnishings and decor, and how they've integrated the original features of the building into a hotel offering modern amenities (like those huge showers!). The hotel is right in the middle of the downtown/riverfront area of Paducah, with lots of shops, restaurants, and interesting things to do within easy walking distance. There's plenty of parking around back.

The only downside was no lift

Great little hotel quirky room. Parking on Main Street outside hotel not a problem

The staff at this hotel set a standard for care that most other hotels fail to reach. They were helpful at all times and truly concerned for our welfare as guests. Now I know what "Southern Hospitality" means. Paducah is a great little place, and the people at this hotel are the finest credit to their city.

Checking out ( insert laughs)

How professional everyone was at the hotel . A wedding was happening, still had my peace and quiet. I was able to access the hotel bar , due to wedding reservation, I didn't mind enjoying a walk to see the culture of history while finding a social place .

The 1857 is a quaint boutique hotel in downtown Paducah. The hotel is in a strip of old buildings and has been rehabbed. It is charming, modern, and very classy all in one. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure you are having a great day - even offering a loaner umbrella when it was raining!!

No elevator and no help to carry the luggage to our room.

Love the set up, the amenities, and the comfort. Such a unique and well designed place. In the fun arts market area so plenty to eat and see/do.

Honestly, nothing comes to minde.

We LOVED everything about our stay. The renovated space is absolutely charming. The staff was very pet friendly. The desk attendant, Ben, helped us with our luggage, provided tips on surrounding businesses, and was very helpful and accommodating the extra efforts it takes to travel with a pup. The stairs only entrance was not a problem at all. The bar space surpassed our expectations and both the offerings and and the bartender, Ms. Morgan, made that stop worthwhile. The entire area around the site was completely charming, clearly the result of a huge revitalization effort. We wished we another few days to stay and enjoy them all. We plan to return.

Cute, quaint, comfortable and perfect location to bars and restaurants

Not the hotels fault but woke at 4am to the beeping sounds of a dump truck reversing and picking up garbage.

We really enjoyed our stay, the location is amazing! There are shops, restaurants, and bars within walking distance. Our room was on the first floor, nice historic exposed brick wall, super comfortable and clean bed.

No microwave and no refrigerator even though the room details said it had both !! Lady at front desk said sorry not all rooms are equipped with microwaves and refrigerators.

Close to everything, right across the street from the Carson center

Unique design in a great location

Can’t think of much we didn’t like.

We didn’t eat at the hotel. We’ve stayed here before. Love the old remodeled building. The staff was very accommodating. It was nice being able to bring our dogs.

See above explanation.

The location is amazing if you want to hang out downtown at the riverfront area. So many restaurants and bars within walking distance. The hotel is very quaint and nice. The room was very clean and inviting, loved the exposed brick and design. Wasn't a fan of the open tub and shower, but it was fitting for the room. The bathroom (toilet) was in a separate room though, so that was nice. The bed and pillows were very comfortable, but the TV/Cable didn't offer much. The heating/AC panel did not seem to be operating, so the room was a little stuffy during the night. We were also there during a special event (which we did not know about when we booked), so we were not able to go to the hotel bar, which is one of the reasons we chose to stay there. Overall a very cool hotel for an overnight trip.
