The property has the potential to be lovely but needs a lot of TLC. The room we were in was on the 3rd floor and very run down. Paint chipping off the walls. Shower was very unpredictable. Our TV did not work and when I reported the issue to the front desk the reply was “oh I never watch TV so I don’t know anything about that” then she offered to get maintenance in the next day ( it was 10 am when I reported it). The bar seemed nice but we did not use it as it was very small and not enough seating. Hopefully they will get it together as it is a beautiful building in a great location.

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!

The staff was amazing and the hotel overall was very cute and in an amazing walkable area, however the rooms did not match up to the photos/other reviews I had seen. Our ceiling fan and light didn't work. The wall AC unit was very noisy and the room heavily smelled like mold. Ended up having to check out a day early.

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...

Beautiful historic inn that has been refurbished and redecorated. The rooms are very spacious and clean. They have wood flooring, a nice bath with a clawfoot tub, and comfortable beds. It is air conditioned with window units that keep the rooms at a very comfortable, cool temperature, even on the 3rd floor. Just note that this inn has 3 floors, and no elevators, so if you have mobility issues, make sure to request a bed on the 1st level when you make your reservation. We didn't, and huffing and puffing up and down the stairs with heavy luggage was a bit difficult. There is a nice bar in the lobby area that serves coffee in the AM and cocktails in the pm hours. They close at 10 pm. Many really nice locals frequent the bar, and you can obtain a world of helpful information regarding the area and things to do and where to eat by sitting at the bar and engaging in a conversation. The bar tenders are very friendly and helpful, and make great drinks. Would definitely stay here again!

Worth it!

Love the antique style of the hotel. Love all of the history and the bar in the hotel is amazing! Delicious drinks and great bartender and atmosphere! Only complaint would be the shower/bathroom was incredibly small and the blow dryer was so old it tripped the outlet. Overall we would stay here again bc the good was better then the little things listed.

My stay was not what I had hoped for. I checked in Thursday evening and had planned to stay until Sunday, but I decided to leave early on Saturday morning. While I appreciate the historic charm of the building, the accommodations fell short of expectations. The room was uncomfortable — the bed lacked support, the linens felt rough, and only one towel was provided. The garden tub appeared appealing at first glance, but once in use, it was uneven and felt unstable, which raised safety concerns. The one highlight of my stay was the coffee, which was very good. Overall, however, the experience did not meet the standard I anticipated.
