10/10 staff & location!
Wonderful staff, at the front desk & at the bar. So friendly & helpful, very welcoming!
The hotel seems to be in need of a bit of an update - very creaky bed, toilet kept running, bathtub/shower probably needed to be redone/updated.
Overall great location & cozy stay, just could use a few updates & some sprucing.

Good location, great bar and happy hour. Room was OK - its dated. Bathroom is small. We were on the first floor and it was very noisy. P.S. - No tissues in the room.

Good
Overall the stay was good. I knew it was a historic hotel so I always have an open minded view of what to expect. Everything was good with the exception that the room that I stayed in was the first room (Room 108) as you enter the hallway from the lobby. You can literally hear everything happening in the lobby. There's a small kitchen and a coffee shop right there. That was the only issue.

Historic - but disappointing
The Cordova Inn was very disappointing. It is supposedly a "renovated" historic inn, but the renovation leaves a lot to be desired. A noisy window AC unit should have been upgraded to a quiet minisplit system - they are quiet, effective, and pretty inexpensive. The hairdryer didn't work. The old clawfoot tub had no grab bar and very hazardous slippery surfaces. There was no work desk in the room - you had to set up a laptop in a common area. The staff weren't particularly friendly or helpful.

one night is enough
it is a older hotel with a lot of character. The bar is friendly and fun to hang out at. the bed was terrible. The bathroom was the size of a broom closet you cant close the door and stand in the bathroom. the shower is very old and the size of a camper shower.

Cordova Inn a bit worn...
Construction underway. Construction team started banging and moving equipment at 7:08 am Friday. Fire alarm went off at 2:38 a.m. Saturday, then again at 3:15 when the fire department arrived using sirens, then again at 6:30a.m. for some reason. Then again at 9:00 am. Staff confirmed it's an ongoing issue. Windows now dirty and blocked by construction activity. Rooms small. Towels a bit dirty and aged. Oh well. Seemed like a charming place to be.

It was very bad experience. The room was so old and it smells the bathroom omg the worst I ever seen the room it was very cold and the ac on the window did not work on the heated side.And don’t make me start on the noise outside. This construction workers they start making so much noise at 7am I never experience that in a hotel after a night out that was horrible so if you reading this do your self a favor pay couple $ more and go to a better hotel you gone thank me.

Historic Charm
The Cordova Inn was a very quaint older hotel that had updated the rooms and bathrooms, while maintaining the historic charm. The hotel was convenient to local restaurants and other entertainment. The staff was wonderful and greeted me on arrival.

Property being currently renovated! Noisy! Room next to staff storage room! Toilet was unseated! Barely fit in the shower! Coffee maker was poor! Cable TV had poor reception! Parking was a block and a half away! Staff was very helpful and friendly and at $300/night I would hope so! Go somewhere else!

Not the greatest
We have stayed her before, but the place is definitely not in good shape. The availability of front desk workers and the hours that the coffee shop/bar is open is very limited. The walls are like paper and you can hear everything going on in the rooms nearby, the lobby and outside. I know they are building new rooms and I feel that is the reason the existing ones have lapsed into disrepair. We noticed that one of our windows has a bad termite infestation. The wood is literally turning into sawdust.
