The Blennerhassett Hotel

We had a family dinner and everything was good. Food was great servers were great. It wasn’t until I tried to get a suprise for my inlaw’s for there annaversary. Asking the front desk if they had any kind of suprise. The manager was talking to me after 15 minutes waiting at the front. When she finally got there. 1 minute into the conversation completely disregarded me and started talking to another person that had just come in. I wait patiently for about 30 seconds until I interrupted. I finally got the final goal I was reaching for. That moment of disrespect from the manager told me everything I need to know about the place. Just imagine you in my shoes. You would feel the same. Nobody wants to be disregarded. So in general Overpriced- great waiters- horrible management.

This hotel is simply magnificent! They host a shelter animal in the lobby, and visitors can elect to walk the dog and love on them during their stay. The speakeasy is a special treat, with period style entry and historical prints/artifacts on the walls. Everything is just amazing. We will definitely be coming back!!

We very much enjoyed our stay. Everyone was very welcoming. Our room was so pretty and comfortable. It wasn't busy, I'm sure because it was a Monday in early November, which made the night quiet. Dinner was fabulous. My husband had crab cakes and I had the calamari and she crab soup that was absolutely to die for. It was overall a lovely and delightful stay

We stayed at the Blennerhassett Hotel on our way back from Chicago to Virginia. The hotel is downtown Parkersburg with other historical buildings surrounding it. It's a nice area in which to walk. The parking lot for the hotel is behind the hotel. We love staying in historical hotels and the Blennerhassett Hotel is a very nice historic hotel. It has been furnished with older pieces of furniture and the lobby and bar area were very nicely furnished and inviting. The lobby was decorated with Christmas trees decorated by local businesses when we visited, which were beautiful! The young lady at the front desk was friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Our room had two queen beds, as well as a desk and a small dresser with a TV. The bathroom was a good size with a combined tub/shower.

The hotel is gorgeous, exterior and inside as well. The library had been turned into a Peanuts themed Christmas display. Great historical displays of politicians who visited over the years, and photos everywhere.||The restaurant was very good.||The rooms are cramped and outdated, and frankly make a visit to the hotel a little less special. Probably because the hotel was built with just a common bathroom on each floor, it seems like the individual bathrooms were fit into the original space of the room. Maybe better for a couple in one room, but a standard double was too small for our party of three ('g wife and I and our 20 yo daughter).||A few other oddities left me with a bad impression. When booking in the hotel website I was promised special perks for booking directly with them.
