We stayed overnight and had a nice stay. There was an upstairs deck where you could watch the river. Check in was easy, property owners/managers were super fast to respond when we asked a question. A lot of memorabilia from when it was a jail is throughout the hotel. There were even books on local history in our room! Cute place to stay, you can’t go wrong!

Unique boutique rooms. We've stayed here before and each of the rooms has its own personality. Marshall is still recovering from the storm, but it surprisingly is making a quick come back.

Very easy self check-in! Room was clean and smelled fresh. Both beds were very comfortable, and the room offered several small touches such as earplugs and water l.

A gem!

Such a lovely hotel in lovely Marshall! Really comfy bed and spacious suite (we stayed in the Sheriff’s suite), we wished we were staying for longer. The restaurant downstairs was also fab and had a great selection of both alcoholic and non alcoholic beers etc. which was great to see.

This place was great. Everything about it is unique and super cool. My 2 teens loved staying up in the loft area. This was a great weekend getaway and the old Marshall jail hotel made it even better. P.S. it’s not haunted lol

Located in a quaint, tiny mountain town that is fighting back after being decimated by last year’s hurricane, Old Marshall Jail Hotel is a hidden gem. Despite the downstairs, including the currently closed restaurant, being under major reconstruction, the second floor and our room was perfect. Combining rustic, old world charm and history with modern design elements, the river view room was incredible. The owner’s own pottery was a highlight. Can’t wait to return for a longer stay when the hotel is fully rebuilt.

Unique property created out of a former county jail. Good bar & eatery downstairs, river side dinng adds to the ambience. Only issue I have is the lack of communication when checking out, we had no idea if we checked out properly!

Room was large and well cleaned, it came with a sticked kitchenette. The hotel has a nice restaurant in site with outdoor seating overlooking the French Broad River. The hotel was like a museum for the original jail with information on display. The room we stayed in had several original features of the old jail.

Communication needs to improve, especially when nobody was there physically to help the check/check out process. The house itself was well represented as an old historic jail house.
