Historic hotel and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The description said "valet parking", but this was not accurate. They do have free parking for guests.

Nice place!!
Nice hotel. Great history. Beautiful place. Cool restaurant and bar. The front door and registration staff are positioned for a high class experience but can’t really pull it off as they seem to lack dedication and training. But overall, very good. Will stay there again.

Fun stay with history
It was on my Granddaughter's bucket list to visit this haunted domain. It was a great stay in our mini-suite. Got the haunted room 409 pictures, at the door.The walkable history lesson at the namsake museum is a must. It all made memories.

We love staying at the Blennerhassett whenever we make the trip to OU for my sons’ events. It is so quaint and cozy—much more so than “modern” hotels.

Relaxation at its finest
We had a great stay. Even though the room was a little hot when when first got there due to the high temperatures and being on the top floor, the hotel brought in additional portable A/C to fix the problem and it worked great. I love this hotel because the staff is awesome and the food is fabulous. A great place to relax and treat yourself and family.

The complimentary glass of champagne at the bar was great. But, if there are two guests each should get one😁.
We always stay at the BH on our way to FL and MI and MI to FL. Dinner menu was plentiful and tasty!

This property is a lovely historic place with wonderful events offered to all guests. We appreciated the staff,
their attention to details and the warm welcome. A special thanks to Chef D for the lovely menu, Zoe and Michelle
for serving us, and all the "extras" we received during our
visit!

Hotel was great, restaurant not so much
The hotel itself was great. The online check-in really made the process fast from walking in to getting to the room.
I would not recommend eating at the restaurant. Not only was the service slow but the food was average at best. I ordered chicken tacos and I received what I can only describe as something I would have made at 1 am after being out at a bar. We have the restaurant another try for breakfast, took nearly an hour from the time we sat down to when we received our food, and we were only a table of 4.

Beautiful building. Staff was superb and incredibly kind. Not as busy downtown as we imagined, but this is likely due to visiting before summer festivities get started. Bathroom is updated and absolutely wonderful; robes are sublime. Dog friendly and area is walkable. Area feels safe for walking.
