I was very happy with this property. I loved the online check in and mobile key options. The room was very clean and the beds were super comfortable. It was quiet and we were able to watch the parade of lights. I really like the french bakery downstairs. I would definitely stay here agin!!!

Hotel with a B&B Feel

Our stay at the Alonzo Ward Hotel was excellent. The room felt more like a comfy B&B than a hotel room. The beds were nice and the linens felt more like something I would have at home. During our stay, we ate at the Italian restaurant in the lobby area and also at the LaRue Cafe in the building. We enjoyed both and plan to eat at each again when we return to Aberdeen.

Nice Surprise in the Heart of Aberdeen

Absolutely loved this hotel in downtown Aberdeen! The old charm of the check-in area brings a nostalgic touch to the experience, but I was truly surprised at how the entire guest floor area and room was completely remodeled and upgraded! Everything smelled brand new! Beautiful decor which gave a pleasant ambience to my stay!
