Hotel Bentley

Very Good
Traveller Type: Senior Traveler
  : Quiet, nice bar, clean & comfortable beds
  : My key didn?t work late the second evening and no one was at the desk to help for a little while. The attendant had gone to get his supper. Better coverage would have been better for this emergency.

  : Rooms were clean and comfy. Historic lobby decor was fascinating.
  : I was in Jr. High & High School in this town and The Hotel Bentley was the fanciest place in town and used for special events. I expected the rooms to match the lobby decor, but alas, just bland white walls, bedding, minimal artwork and no view. Our window was centered on the dome over a stained glass feature for the lobby. We couldn't see the river or anything else, really. Wednesday night saw many people in and out of rooms down the hall partying hard. Loiters out front on the entrance area left us feeling unsafe trying to go into our room late from visiting family. Was that a "lady of the evening" hanging around on the front sidewalk? Sadly, we never got to try the restaurant. It was open later than we left in the mornings and closed b4 we got back from visiting family. Still, the price was affordable compared to newer hotels. Parking leaves a lot to be desired as well. Sad to see so many prominent businesses closed such as Weiss & Goldring. I hope the downtown will be updated someday. Just expected more.

  : This could be a magnificent hotel, but would need a huge amount of money spent on the interior to bring it up to standard.
  : The restaurant had a peculiar smell. The decor was dark and miserable and not somewhere I would like to sit and have a meal

  : The structure of the hotel was beautiful. It was our first time visiting this hotel and the Architectural work was astonishing. The rooms are very basic compared to downstairs, however, the hotel is still a bang for its buck. We even took engagement photos at this beautiful place and I cannot wait to see the results. We will definitely be back.
  : The staff was friendly but wasn't very accommodating with answering the phone from our room or helpful with directions around downtown.

  : It's a wonderful old hotel that has been well maintained.
  : It was entirely too cold everywhere. In the middle of the summer I had to turn the heat on in my room. Also, they no longer serve breakfast on weekdays.

  : Comfortable mattresses, clean room and bathroom. There are a lot of museum displays and memorabilia that were interesting.
  : Front desk is extremely tacky with clear barriers, very dingy, low light. It looked like an empty convenience store in a bad neighborhood with bullet proof glass. Clerk was dressed in a tacky t-shirt and did not smile or give a greeting (robotic). It's a shame because the building is grand and beautiful.

  : The pictures online of this hotel were beautiful however the hotel itself was very outdated. It was functional but not very nice. I was extremely disappointed.
  : Carpet was old, walls needed painting, no decor whatsoever. Bathroom very outdated. Just blah!
