Executive Inn Riverfront, Paducah

A group I'm a member of held a convention at the Executive Inn in Aug 2008. I read the reviews and thankfully stayed elsewhere in town. Visited the place during the convention and the word DUMP came to mind several times. It was so bad looking that we decided not to attend the convention's concluding dinner to be served on Saturday night. SImply did not want to eat anything that came from there. Each negative review of this place is right on target. It should have met the wrecker's ball years ago. I would not have boarded my dog in that place. It was a DUMP with a capital D. If the reviews had a rating lower than One Star I would rate it at that. One Star was the lowest available.

THE HOTEL HAS BEEN CLOSED FOR 3 YEARS AND WAS DEMOLISHED LAST YEAR. WHY IS IT STILL LISTED HERE. YOUR WEBSITE IS OUT OF DATE!

I went to check it out, and it is just a pile of rubble.

When we stayed there it was a convention weekend and we were on a road trip. It was the only place to stay in town. We got there kinda late, food was horrible. Rooms were huge though and we actually had a room KEY (not a card) lol and it was almost like the hotel in the movie the shining! We did have some strange unexplained things happen in our room that night and in the morning as we were leaving. Just wondering if anyone else had experience anything weird? It would not be my first choice but it wasnt that bad.

Me and my ex-inlaws stayed here april 7th 2006. at jrs executive inn we were here for the spring convention that the ame0rica00000000n legion was holding for us members the party room was great so were our rooms. the only thing we had a storm and lighting blew out the transformer. and the next day we had to go home. it was not jrs executive inn fault. things just happen. to bad the hotel is being torn down it was a nice hotel. rest in peace jrs executive inn.

NO LONGER IN BUSINESS. IT IS CLOSED AND GETTING READY TO BE TORN DOWN.

I spent 6 weeks at the Executive Inn this past Spring. At first, like many of you, I felt cheated after visiting the website before I arrived. My company paid for it, so that helped. After about a week, I really started to like it. The staff is great, I especially enjoyed the lounge on Friday and Saturday nights. They have a one man band on the weekends, his name is Essy, and he's great, and the bartender, Theresa makes really good drinks. The location of this hotel is wonderful, walking distance to downtown. I dont however, recommend eating at the hotel. The food was bland and overpriced. Try Jerimiahs or Does downtown. I'll be back this spring again.

The power to the place was turned off store was on local news tonight. I can say it was a nice place in the 80's but was never a top of the top place. "Yes they had good shows good food nice rooms for the 80'. As the 90's came it went down hill nt one thing has evedr been replaced or updated at all. Take the game room it screams 80's with its pac man carpet. As 2000 came it was even more outdated with lees stuff taking place there. My view it needs to be gone not worth it to fix up or even clean up. Yes smoking was allowed in all rooms tell the mid 90'ws. Heck you could smoke any place in the hotel. The city is not that great any way. Yes there are some stores a few things to do but not a place I would take my family foe fun. If I did I would stay anyp place but here. Well no power so it will not be a place to stay. The Executive Inn Has Power Disconnected Last Update: 9/09 11:01 pm The Executive Inn Has Power Disconnected. PADUCAH, KY - Paducah Power disconnected service at The Executive Inn around 5 Tuesday evening because the bill was not paid. People who have apartments and businesses at the Executive Inn are upset because they paid rent and now have to find somewhere else to live and work. Deadline day for The Executive Inn meant pay up or lose power. A few hours before close of business, Paducah Fire Marshalls along with city inspectors and police walked through the hotel and gave residents time to pack up before Paducah Power flipped the switch. "I'm frustrated for sure because tomorrow I don't have business like I've had for many, many, many years," said John Wise. The financial representative has leased office space at the Executive Inn since it was built more than 30 years ago. While he's upset, Wise says he is not surprised no one paid the power bill because maintenance and repairs have not been addressed. Paducah Power says once the deadline for payment had passed, it gave the Management at the Big E time to tell customers and staff about the disconnection deadline but some who live and work at the hotel got little or no notice to leave. "They were crying, upset because they have nowhere to go. They've already paid this months rent so they don't have any money," said Ryan Fisher. No power also means a new location for Four Rivers Church that meets in the Executive Inn's International Rooms. "Somewhere between 250 and 320 or so people on any weekend come here at 9:30 and 11 so now we have the fun task of trying to figure out what to do between now and then," said Pastor D. Bradley Henson. "We serve the business community we want to be supportive but we also have to balance that with the responsibility we have to our owners, the rate payers of Paducah and protect them from a financial loss," said Andrea Underwood with Paducah Power. While the company could not release details about the account, it says it has to enforce payment policies equally among all customers, large and small. No power comes at a horrible time because owners of the AQS Quilt Show have yet to decide whether the Executive Inn should host the Quilt Show in April of 2009. Calls to Executive Inn Operator Bill Parsons have not been returned. Paducah Power's policy requires disconnected customers to pay any past due fees in full along with a 35 dollar reconnection fee before service is restored.

The hotel is in the process of being sold, and was pretty much empty, saw two other couples during our entire stay. I am sure this was a majestic hotel and was truely amazing, in it's day, and I hope the purchaser makes it so once again! I read the reviews prior to going and we actually paid a visit to the hotel and looked around before deciding to stay. The elevators worked and there was plenty of hot water, the ice machines were limited and the pool was closed, but overall the hotel had a great view of the river, and very convenent to downtown attractions. The bed was a little hard but the room was clean and the linens and pillows were clean and comfortable. I will plug the desk clerk as "the best," he asked what we were doing and when we discussed where we wanted to eat he called and made our dining reservations, for Cynthia's Ristorante right then. I travel a lot and very few places have that kind of great service! We also tried the Silver Saddle (located in the Executive Inn) and had a great time of dancing and music. If you are looking for a quite hotel, with good service, and convenient to downtown Paducah take a chance on this place.

Thank goodness I read the reviews of this hotel before going to Paducah. I changed my reservations to another hotel, yet went to the E.I. for some meetings. The reviews are right. This place is BAD. Stay somewhere else and drive over to your business meeting here.
