10/10 Exceptional

Great historical hotel in a great area
SCOTT, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location, very cool front porch area and a nice overall stay. Downside was the noise at night, a few minor issues with the room. But a good value for what you get.

Rooms are old and not very clean
Cheryl, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Kind hosts. Room on ground floor was super loud because of truck in the morning (very thin window). Room upstairs with bathtub was better, but bathroom not in good condition. You can tell the hotel is outdated and needs renovation. But overall fine experience.

Historically great

We absolutely enjoyed our stay! The hotel coffee bar was always amazing the bartenders were super friendly and all other staff was always great. We loved the historic feel of the building and the eclectic style. Was great location and walking distance to most things.
Abi, 3-night trip

The room was comfortable. There was construction in the lobby and hallway so it was hot. The cafe/bar was wonderful!

Cordova Inn Near Jannus Live

Parking free in a garage around the corner, just enter your tag in the iPad at the front desk and you get validated. Room was a bit older, cracks in our sink and shower floor a bit worn but bed comfortable enough, mini fridge and microwave handy. Super convenient to Jannus Live and downtown nightlife, tons of restaurants and bars around!

6/10 Good

Outlook a car park so blinds were drawn all the time. Room 102 sink cracked,shower shelf broken and a hazard. Filters needed cleaning on AC. No housekeeping in three days so bin was overflowing. Staff wonderful and bed and bedlinen perfect.

Good location - under construction - stayed for three nights with no fresh towels of soap/gel. Window AC noisy.

10/10 Exceptional

From begining to end they are in contact with you for whatever your needs. Small and super adorable! I had a sister staycation and we loved how it made us feel like we traveled back in time.
Ashley, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

There was black mold in our shower and I have asthma. Cleanliness was subpar but the customer service was great.
5-night trip

6/10 Good

This was a great location and walking distance from good restaurants. They had a great bar, The Scott. Both bartenders were great! However, the check-in staff was not great. Both were unprofessional and rude. I didn't have a positive interaction with either. Cleanliness was so so. I split my water in the room and mopped it up with a towel. The towel came back brown...
Anna, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

very little shower water pressure. Two temps: hot hot and cold cold. ;( and just enough for a bird bath.

I have stayed at the Cordova a few times now. Everything was lovely except the housekeeper walking in the room without even knocking.
Hannah, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Cute idea to stay in an old hotel. Have done it before with great results at other destinations. First, parked just outside when arriving and asked the counter clerk is it O.K. to park there, pointing out our car, while we check in and then go find the parking garage down the street? Told it's fine and then got a ticket the next second. $55.00 worth as it was a private parking lot adjacent to the hotel. Bad signage. Great trap for the lot owner! Room had no counter space, a very wet bathroom floor due to the sparse shower curtain that did not go all the way around a clawfoot tub. The tub was peeling badly from old paint or sealant? Would not dare to step inside that! Lots of gross hairs all over, including the fridge? Very, very dusty room from furniture legs to the chair rails. At a quick glance, it looked quaint, but you didn't want to look closer. Old, almost used up toilet paper roll welcomed us into the room. Broken toilet seat. I understand they're adding on rooms. Hopefully they will refurnish the existing ones as the location was very nice. Staff was gracious getting us stuff that was missing when we arrived, soap, sugar and creamer for the coffee maker and swapping towels out for fresh ones the next day. They had a nice front porch to sit on as well.
