Hotel Vendome, Prescott

About the only positive comment I can make is that the owner, Frank Langford did allow me to stay at the hotel with my dog but I suspect it was only because he feared a lawsuit as I reserved a room through a hotel website which mistakenly listed the Vendome as a pet-friendly place. The owner -- who just sold the place -- made a halfhearted attempt to help me with my bags but because I had so many items on hand, I suspect he was simply overwhelmed. I did feel uncomfortable in Room 15 because of the odd lighting that appeared at night, the cracked wall and towards the end of my stay a leaking ceiling. In need of a pet-friendly hotel for another two weeks, I told the owner (who apparently made no offer to allow me to extend my stay) that I could leave a day early should he refund me for one night. He told me to take it up with the hotel website which I found odd considering that I thought the hotels were paid by these websites for booking reservations. As for the amenities, the coffee stunk, the continental breakfast was nothing more than supermarket donuts, white bread and rotting fruit and to add insult to injury, I forget to take quite a bit of food I left in the hotel refrigerator. When I inquired as to whether or not the owner could drop off the food at the new hotel where I was staying (since I didn't have a car) he simply said no. When chatting with a friendly soul in town about my fiasco, she said that she, too, had a not so nice experience at this historic hotel and when approached yet again about a refund for one night, the owner told her, too, to take it up with the hotel website. I think it was wise for this husband and wife to get out of the hospitality industry because success in the field requires one to be hospitable!

Sitting on the front porch, sipping a cup of tea from a china teacup or having a glass of wine while watching friendly townspeople walk by was comforting. Staff very friendly and want to make guests comfortable. Rooms were clean. Location was a block from center of town; very convenient. Would defintely return.

If you love historic buildings, you will love this hotel. Very well kept. Owners and staff were friendly and courteous and treat you like a guest in their home. Great location, a short walk to downtown. My only complaint was that the bed wasn't very comfortable, but that wouldn't stop me from staying again.

My husband and I love our repeat visitors to the hotel. We look forward to a nice romantic dinner at the nearby restaurant "The Rose" a stroll around the square and our comfortable bed at the Vendome.

Arrived with no reservations and the manager let us look at three rooms to pick the one we wanted. Friendly and courteous service, very comfortable and homey rooms with nice beds and spacious baths. Quiet location just a short walking distance from the square, great dining, shops and historic sites. Great little wine bar, simple but good continental breakfast.A good homebase for exploring Prescott and surrounding area. My husband and I hope to stay there again one day.

I like how it had a home feeling to it. And the people their were very nice and i enjoyed my stay their very much. You should go and try it if you want a home feeling to it.

This is a wonderful place and the service is amazing. People are very friendly and the rooms are small but sweet. It's homey and comfortable, definitely something to check out in Prescott!

Our anniversary was wonderful because this place was different than the hotels that all look alike. We could relax, play checkers in the lobby and enjoy all the interesting things all around the place. It's a nice feeling to be in this old building that has been kept up nicely. We will always remember staying here.
