Description

This archway is in an old hotel that has been operating for well over 100 years .The Lowe Hotel in Point Pleasant, West Virginia is such a unique experience. You live back in time and feel as though you are in the 1930's or so. It is not a plush environment, but it an environment for the "working man or woman." It is situated on the main street in town and one can look upon The Ohio River from the back of the building. I was blessed enough to get a room in the back part of the building that overlooked the river. It was a very peaceful experience.

The hotel website conveys the following:

The historic Lowe Hotel is located in the heart of the Point Pleasant Historic District at the corner of Fourth and Main Streets. Its grand structure was built in 1901 and originally named the Spencer Hotel in honor of J.S. Spencer.
Then operated by two brothers, Homer and Griff Smith, the hotel
was purchased by the Lowe family in 1929 after the stock market crash
and renamed the Lowe Hotel.

The hotel is now owned by Ruth and Rush Finley, who purchased the Lowe
in 1990. A visit to the Lowe gives a step back in time with today's conveniences.

Ruth and Rush have been continually upgrading the building and adding
their personal touch to the business. The friendly atmosphere and hospitality create a very pleasant and restful experience for the traveler.
