This is an amazing house if you are ready for a different experience from an ordinary room. We felt like we were guests in a private home without the owner being involved in our visit . She made sure we were informed and had everything there for our comfort. We were very satisfied with our two day stay.

What an interesting place to stay! It’s hard to believe that it is over 200 years old. It is a stone’s throw from the Ohio River. So many quaint touches in the room! We will definitely stay there again when we’re in the area.

Charm. That's the first word to describe this property. Built in 1816, much of the original ediface is used for travelers. An ample porch greets you with picturesque views of the Ohio River. The hotel is right off Main Street, and the architecture has been preserved to attract tourists who like to soak in americana.
The room had its own lock and Marsha, the hostess gives travelers their own key to the room and the front door. Our room was a part of the original property. It now consists of a queen iron bed, 2 wingback chairs, 2 windows that look onto the porch, a filled-in fireplace, a secretary, a tiny area that is just right for a microwave and fridge with a coffee pot and coffee. The bath comes with a ball-and-claw tub with a shower attachment and surrounding shower curtain.
We got a great rate. If you like a very firm mattress, you are in luck! Even though history has been preserved, central heat and air are provided and a ceiling fan to keep away stuffiness.
If you are looking for cleanliness, you have it here! The property could do with a good renovation but the colorful accents provide personality and character. Besides to renovate would mean a rise in rate. Remember that.
We ate really good Mexican food for dinner and an EXCELLENT breakfast at the Main St. Diner. But take a couple of days to relax and soak up the rest it provides. You wont go wrong.

The Empire is a 200+ year old building that has been a restaurant in its history, but has been renovated into a very nice inn. The check in was quick and easy. The host was extremely accommodating and very friendly. We ended up getting an upgrade for our stay to the suite, due to someone wanting to stay an extra day. We were very pleased with our room and our stay.

Very nice hotel. The owner was kind and helpful. Cute little room. Theres a shared refridgerator. It seems more like a hostel vibe than a traditional hotel (which i loved!).

Almost perfect. Place is outdated for sure but that's part of the experience so I wouldn't let that negatively impact the assessment of this place. The area including Lawrenceburg nearby is amazing. Picture perfect little town and everything is very clean. The hotel is right on the riverwalk with access to it's beautiful porch if you want to sit outside and relax at night.
My advice: Bring a towel and a hand towel. I'm sure the towels were very clean but they were white and you could tell they were old. Clean...but old. Probably what I would do next time but other than that? We WILL be back everytime we're down there if rooms are available.

Host was very accommodating - I was able to check in after 8 PM and pay upon arrival. The room was cozy and had everything I needed. It was a huge bonus that I was able to bring my dog with me.

Very quiet and peaceful, the over 200 year old hotel had charm. Management was friendly and helpful. We would gladly stay there again. The view of the Ohio River and the walkway was a nice treat. Price was quite affordable as well.
