Por qué a la gente le encanta
- Historic 'hipstoric' vibe that feels expensive but isn't
- Blackhawk Bowl & Martini Lounge in the basement
- Walking distance to Adler Theatre and Mississippi River
Resumen rápido: A stunning historic renovation that occasionally prioritizes wedding parties over solo sleepers.
Reseñado por @Valerija_jem: I arrived at Hotel Blackhawk completely drained, but this room was the perfect remedy. Soaking in that massive jacuzzi while watching TV through the open shutters was exactly the reset I needed.

5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The bowling alley isn't just a gimmick; it's a full retro alley with a bar.
💡The 'City View' can sometimes just be a view of the HVAC units on the roof next door.
💡The lobby smells amazing (signature scent), but the hallways can sometimes smell like old carpet.
💡You can walk directly into the Adler Theatre from the hotel (great for winter shows).
💡The elevators are fast but can be noisy if your room is right next to the shaft.
