I have a very revealing experience to share. I am the owners only niece and i am seven years…read moreescaped from this cult of a family. And I have several things to share about this "establishment". First of all, believe every single low review. The majority of the five star reviews have been written by people that I personally recognize as family members or family friends. I can attest to the state of the "mansion". It has always been run down, dirty, and full of roaches. And if you think the rooms are bad, the private quarters are worse. The bugs, the dirt, the clutter, the old plumbing and electric. And finally, I'd like to call out every lie that I've seen from the owners in their replies. First of all, "world class wine shop"? I love my red wine and theirs was barely worth a sniff, let alone a taste (and that's if anyone but Tony drinks it all). If you want a good midwest wine, try Purple Toad. Secondly the roaches (and Tony, you've been hearing this since I was 10 and complained about it to the both of you), roaches are not something to expect just because "it's Illinois" I have lived in various places in Illinois for 17 years of my 23. Bugs are quite easy to manage. Third, the house was not used as a hotel for a century. It was an abandoned house and that's why they could afford to purchase it. Finally, I've had their coffee after being woken up at the crack of dawn to babysit their four children for free. It's shit. Onto the second reply from Beth (Beth I had higher hopes for the woman who took pity on me during my fathers neglect and bought me new clothes but I guess you conformed to the Eckert ways and I pity you and your children's souls). First of all, y'all are a half hour from the Shawnee national forest, which is more towards the western side of Southern Illinois, whereas you are located on the eastern border; and this excuse doesn't even hold water! Cockroaches, which are what your victims are complaining about, prefer to live deep in cities, which is why they are more common among inner city residences. Secondly, "extensive renovations and upgrades"? You literally had to! No one, not even you and your family, wanted to stay in it in the original state. It had no modern elements. And I can recall on several occasions where you and Tony talked about how to do the absolute bare minimum to get the place running so you could start extorting people for the "historic experience". And yes people, this is their home... and actually examine this. If they are willing to show you roaches in your rooms, imagine what it's like behind the scenes. Dirty dishes everywhere, the kids rooms smelled like pee, and roaches sitting with you on the couch. It is absolutely false advertising because you are not disclosing that you have a "historic" bug problem, you do not advertise what people will actually experience while here! And the walls are most certainly paper thin. I could hear anyone move in the house at night. So clearly that I could tell who was moving and what they were doing. Third, if the room isn't ready for someone, why would you let them check in? Because it's just an excuse. Additionally, "complimentary bottled water"? It is a crime to not allow access to water for customers, and for the luxury price people are paying, I'd expect luxury water to go with it. And considering, from my understanding, you have never given dissatisfied people a refund, I'd hope they drank the complementary wine as well. People traveling deserve to have a reliable place to stay, where they don't have to "roll with the punches". And lastly Beth, there's a significant difference between eclectic and just rundown and gross. If you want to know exactly who these people are, I'll tell you. The Eckert clade is a cult, simply put. The founder, my paternal grandfather, is a pedophile. I experienced this since I was 3. Everyone knew and did nothing. I was physically, psychologically, and sexually abused by my father as well until I left when I was 17. They brainwash the women into going along with everything they do, luckily four of us escaped. Maybe I should add on how there's a significant chance that my eldest cousin is actually my half-brother, since my father and uncle were doing the same woman at the same time. I bet my younger cousins were fed many lies about why I left, but the truth is plain and simple, I left because of the abuses I suffered in this family. Thank you for listening, and if I can leave you listeners with a parting message let it be this: This family does not deserve your money, your patronage, or your time.

On the 2nd floor is another unlocked, uncovered door that has a balcony butted up to yours. You could step over and be in your space. Not comfortable with that. 2 flights of stairs straight up to get to the 2nd floor and another flight to get to the bedrooms. With the Orgy shower sitting right in the middle of the floor between the 2 bedrooms was a little P Diddy for us regular folks. All the track lights makes it hard to find their cameras. CREEPY The beds were comfortable and the place was clean as a pin. That is what the 2 stars are for. There is no breakfast and the bar is a joke at best.Why people lie about live entertainment blows me away. It looked like an old Folks home TV room. They advertise a pool table. It is a private table and on the 3rd floor of the Trifecta room. No access for other customers. The pool room butts up to the P Diddy bedroom. Balls were broke and hollering went on til very late. The lady who they say is an owner(that's what this site says) gave me a very furred brow when I ask about the advertised table and where it was. (To say rude would be fair) I knew there was a pool adjacent to my bedroom because I heard it til late. Lastly... we were there on a Monday and nothing was opened. NOTHING!!!!! So for this business to advertise that other places are in walking distance is again very misleading. First off PIGGY BACKING off other businesses with your baseless claims of availability is a bit fraudulent. This whole thing is misleading. There was NO parking for us behind a condo. We had to park on the street and haul our stuff a city block before we started the multiple flights of stairs to the room. As town was dead this was still unacceptable as it is clearly stated on the site that parking was available and free. If town had anything going on we would have had NOWHERE to park.. When we arrived there had been an error made somewhere between Expedia and the Hotel. We were going to have to move rooms. There was no way that was going to happen. The young man on 2nd shift worked very quickly to get that second night cancelled and was very professional about the error.That is what 1 star is for. Just not my jam and after reading the other comments I would never try any of these other rooms either. Safety first. Lipstick on a pig is still a pig.

They have waffle makers, sausage, boiled eggs, little pillsbury chocolate and powder donuts, a few cereal choices, yogurt, apples, bananas, and juice. The breakfast area looked well kept. The carpet in halls and rooms needs a good cleaning or just replace completely. The shower just needs some caulking in places and the bathroom would be the best part of room. There is plenty of parking around the hotel.

It's tucked right off the main road in Paducah, which makes it super convenient to grab a bite before or after your flight. Bonus points for being stress-free from the moment you park to the moment you board. The bag check process? A breeze. TSA? Practically a polite wave through a high-tech bag scanner (they even have the fancy new machines). And every single employee I interacted with was genuinely kind and helpful--like, Southern hospitality in airport form. Now let's talk about the gate area. Sure, there are only two gates (and let's be real, only one seems to be in action at a time), but the seating situation? Chef's kiss. You've got your standard airport rows with outlets, Jetsons-style lounge chairs, pods with privacy dividers perfect for pulling out a laptop, and even a four-seat square setup with space to stretch out. Need to perch up high? There's a high-top table too. It's basically the WeWork of tiny airports. There's also a small vending area with a few snacks and drinks--nothing to write home about or hold your breath for, but it'll hold you over in a pinch. And shout out to the bathrooms: super clean, well-stocked, and clearly cared for. Barkley may be bite-sized, but it punches way above its weight class. If every airport ran this smoothly, flying would feel a lot more like teleporting.
