Waarom mensen ervan houden
- Historic 'hipstoric' vibe that feels expensive but isn't
- Blackhawk Bowl & Martini Lounge in the basement
- Walking distance to Adler Theatre and Mississippi River
Snel Overzicht: A stunning historic renovation that occasionally prioritizes wedding parties over solo sleepers.
Beoordeeld door @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.

Reality check
The 'river view' rooms are worth the upgrade; otherwise you might be staring at a parking deck.
- You appreciate 1920s architecture and history
- You're in town for a show at the Adler Theatre next door
- You want a hotel with actual character, not a beige box

Tips van Insiders
- ✨
The 'Lotus Energy Drink' at Rise Neighborhood Cafe is a local cult favorite.

Ask the concierge about the 'Nixon Suite' history—it's named for the President who stayed there.
- ✨
The bowling alley has a martini lounge that's surprisingly good for a nightcap.
5 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat
💡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.
