Beautiful building with a very interesting history. The Owner was wonderful and fun to talk with. Very close to the National Quilt Museum which is why we chose to stay there. Hope to go back someday soon.

We decided at the last minute to book our stay here instead of the larger name hotels along our road trip. So glad we did! The room was much larger, quiet, clean and so comfortable. We enjoyed a nice breakfast the next morning. Such an enjoyable stay, thank you!

Absolutely stunning!

We (my son and I) have only stayed at one other honest-to-God BnB. The Respite blew it away. The house is new but built to look older. With that new build, you get all the amenities (tons of outlets, HUGE room, private bath, etc). The beds were very comfortable. The room was quiet (I believe one other guest was there the same night but they were quiet and there are "quiet hours" from 10pm - 7am). There is even an elevator to help you get up to the 2nd story. We absolutely loved it, and loved Paducah! If I am ever back in Paducah, I am coming back to The Respite and not even considering a hotel. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

Thank you so much for such a delightful experience! Information regarding self check- in was very helpful. Even got a referral for a place for dinner! Such a nice room! The personal breakfast was awesone. Our server (didn’t get her name) was so nice. We enjoyed visiting with her! Thanks so much!

Classic Cozy

This b&b is great! The decor and themes of living areas are all so interesting and well done and the room was cozy and clean. We especially loved the billiards room! Staff was very friendly and smell of breakfast in the morning topped it off! Thanks!

Pick This Place!

I was looking at all the options, and vacillating between all the run-of-the-mill options. I finally decided to just go for it, and picked the Respite. What a blessing! Beautiful, quiet, warm, comfy. Street parking was fine. There was plenty and it was well lit and close. Their guest book was filled with 2 years of rave reviews. We’ll pick this on the way home, too.

Odd place

Overall our stay was acceptable; however, there were many odd features. The furniture was not appropriate for the room, with an old entertainment center that was empty and useless, a tv that was rather small for the wall it was on, no art, and no way to adjust the temperature in the room. Also, there was no way to get extra towels since there were no employees present. The website had given us the impression the building was old, but it was not.
