Temting but not inviting
The place is very charming, tempted to stay another day. Unfortunately, the hotel was closed when we arrived, luckily another guest arrived (the only person staying there that day) and informed us that we need to call the hotel's number. A person came and opened the door and checked us in, and gave us codes to be able to enter the hotel and our room. The bar and restaurant were not open that day and the next. Consequently we left the next day.

The property is located across the street from the Mississippi River, providing scenic views, a walkable environment and interesting history. The guest kitchen needs a serious cleaning, reorganizing and upkeep. It is obvious that it does not get the regular attention the guest rooms do.

Nice remodeling to make it look old. Everything was great with the exception of the trains in the night. But even they weren’t too bad. Had a great stay. Need to get the bridge fix before I can recommend to my friends and neighbors since we are all members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and want to see the Nauvoo Temple. Thanks

This is a great mix of a Bed and Breakfast and Boutique hotel. For a 140 year old building it was nicely laid out and decor while Victorian was clean and fresh. The general manager and staff were fantastic.

Building has a lot of history and character. Employees are wonderful. The only drawback is it is noisy because of its proximity to train tracks.

Lots of History!
We had a great stay! Jason at the front desk was awesome! This is a VERY old building with a lot of history. If only the walls could talk! We were told that we could explore any room with an open door. Each room had a book with notes from previous guests. It was interesting to read the different rooms books. We had a great time.

We enjoyed our stay. We thought the breakfast was good. We would have liked more bottles of water in the fridge. Housekeeping did not service our room throughout our 3 day stay. Even when we put the sign on our door before 10am. We slept well.
