    Parking, the beggars around the hotel, no security, difficult to find the way into the hotel, the proximity of food was not great if you're on a budget

    Coffee in library, beautiful hotel, liked the big windows to see outside, cleanliness of the room

    The receptionist was not very inviting upon our arrival. Not cheerful at all.

    The room was very comfortable, the shower wonderful, the bed was so comfortable. I appreciated all the products in the bathroom and study desk area: coffee, toothpaste, toothbrushes (!), body gel, and shampoos.

    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 in to 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.

    Rooms were clean and comfy. Historic lobby decor was fascinating.

    The staff was friendly but wasn't very accommodating with answering the phone from our room or helpful with directions around downtown.

    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.

    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.

    It's a wonderful old hotel that has been well maintained.

    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.

    Comfortable mattresses, clean room and bathroom. There are a lot of museum displays and memorabilia that were interesting.

    A wedding rehearsal and the wedding the next evening took up most of the lobby.

    We ate dinner in the restaurant and the service was friendly and food was very good. The bar associated with hotel is a plus.

    The TV did not have premium channels. The fridge was set a little too cold and froze my drinks. The folks in the next room were occasionally a little loud.

    The rooms were a little small but immaculate. The parking was very close. I really like staying in unique hotels not the cookie-cutter cinder block creations off the interstate. Bentley is certainly not that. The bath accessories were very nice. The free waters were appreciated.

    Parts of the property seemed to have seen better days. Particularly on the main level, some areas were closed. The front desk seemed rather makeshift.

    I loved the original historic decor. It felt as though you were stepping back in time. Lunch in the downstairs restaurant was delicious. Staff throughout—front desk, cleaning, and restaurant—was very friendly and accommodating. The ballroom, being decorated for a wedding, was lovely.

    My room was not serviced at all during my second day if the stay. Bed was not made, had to call to have wash cloths and coffee brought after we used those supplied. The second night there was no hot water. After we called we had to wait quite a while for it to hear before we could shower.

    Beautiful historic lobby!!! Enjoyed the displays.
