Great place, felt like going home

My daughter and I stumbled on to this hotel purely by accident. I was taken totally by surprise when I registered and got an actual key and not a magnetic key card for our room. I love antique things and I must say I was definitely amazed and impressed with the preservation and atmosphere of the Lowe. I felt as though I had stepped back in time to the 30's. The owner had the lobby decorated for Christmas and it was absolutely beautiful. There were alcoves on each floor for sitting, our room was incredible and the original carpet is still in the hallways. I instantly fell in love with the place, it has some modern amenities (internet connection which worked well), microwave, TV and of course indoor plumbing(bring your own hair dryer). I think my favorite thing was the stained glass windows and magnificent lobby fireplace. The Lowe is well located and there are many interesting sites to see within easy walking distance . My daughter and I really enjoyed taking snap shots in the Moth man cut out at the coffee shop across the way. Of course the Moth Man statue is also in that vicinity. The murals on the river wall were absolutely outstanding and lifelike. If you are not just rushing through Pt Pleasant on your way to somewhere else and you are looking for a memorable experience and a bit of modern day time travel; stop in and spend the night at the Lowe. You won't be disappointed. Also for some great home style food wander down to Emma's (about 2-3 blocks down on the same side of the street as the Lowe) the service and food were outstanding! I am planning a trip back up there for the Moth Man festival next September (sounds like lots of fun). Maybe I will see you there. Joyce from Texas
