It is a very cool historical building. This creates a great vibe, but also has some limitations. The lobby was breezy and cool on the very cold winter days. Room size was nice, but the shower was cramped and small. However water pressure and hot water were great!

I stay at the Blackhawk every time I come to town for work. BUT.... now that they don't have onsite parking (which is recent) - I would not stay here again. Having to drag a suitcase and other things 2-4 blocks is just horrible. Especially when its cold and bad weather. Unless they fix the parking issue, I would not recommend.

Comfortable stay

This is a lovely historical hotel that has been nicely updated. Very clean and comfortable. It was very quiet also. Can’t beat the downtown location. We were able to easily walk to shops and restaurants. $10 breakfast vouchers were given for each day at a choice of four local restaurants. Only negatives - pillows could have been bigger and more comfortable, and our room did not have a microwave.
