Beth
Wonderful and cozy little historic hotel. I was there two nights, on a business trip. Really great!!! Marsha, the owner, is very nice!!!! Will for sure stay here again.
Heather
Fantastic historic place. Comfy bed, lovely clawfoot bath, cheerful kind owner. Nothing super fancy, just a sweet place to stay for a good price with beautiful view of the river in charming town
Tammy
The owner was lovely and very friendly. The hotel was right up my alley, I love anything to do with history. Very clean and well maintained for such an older building. The view of the river is amazing. I didn’t see much of the town, had a long drive and left early the next morning.
Judi
Beautiful location overlooking the river. Staff was very friendly. Mattress could be replaced. It sinks in the middle quite a bit. It was ok for a night, but would have been rough any more than that. Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay!
Elena
Beautiful area across from the Ohio River
Catherine
Room was so nice and cozy. The owner, Marsha was wonderful and I appreciated the hospitality.
Lloyd
It is an historic building with six accommodations (2 suites, 2 deluxe queen rooms, and 2 standard rooms, I think they said). Our standard room was a little small but comfortable-- very clean and well appointed with a queen bed, flat screen TV, full size coffee maker, and full bath with shower. There are a refrigerator and microwave available in the 1st floor hall, as well as an assortment of small snacks and bottled water. The owner is quite cordial and the price of our standard room was very reasonable. The hotel overlooks the Ohio River with porches from which you can watch the boats go by. There are several restaurants and shops in walking distance, and the Rising Star casino is a short distance away.

Great customer service
John
This classic hotel, in near-constant service since the 19th Century, is a pleasant place to rest after a busy day. It is near the riverfront walk, and the town of Rising Sun is a calm place to spend some time.
Just outside of town is a wolf refuge that is well worth the time to visit, and the drive along the river from and to the Interstate is beautiful.
When the owner saw that we were all one family, she moved us from our two rooms into a three-room suite at no additional charge, which we greatly appreciated.

Maria
Absolutely adorable historical guesthouse. The hostess was very helpful pointing out restaurants nearby and showing off the history of the hotel.
The only thing I would change is to reduce the number of \"plug-ins\" as the scent was a little overpowering. We unplugged the one in our room and opened the window for a while, making it more to our liking. I would definitely stay here again.

The owner is OUTSTANDING. She is (top notch) when it comes to hospitality.
Patricia
Beautiful old inn at a great price
Very friendly, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The room was reminiscent of your grandma's house, but with modern amenities. We had a beautiful view of the river. The town is really pretty, with several places to eat within a very short walk. The Kings Landing bar and grill had fantastic burgers. We were in the area for a toy show, but will definitely be back with friends soon.
Donald
Location facing River. Older property but knew for price not to expect much. Could be little cleaner and need new mattress.
chris
Very nice owner, friendly and kind. I highly recommend! Hoping to visit this area again soon. Found all of the folks in this area to be extremely nice.

Empire House is perfect
Perfect stop on Ohio River scenic route right on the river gorgeous view. Will stay again!
Gaylynn
Cozy and beautiful
Our stay was wonderful. The owner is absolutely the best. Empire is so cozy, it doesn't feel like other hotels. Its more like someones home. We had a beautiful view of the Ohio river. We hope to go back when its warm out. It has a beautiful porch to relax on. Thank you Marsha.
terry
Unique and historic building. Marsha was so pleasant and informative. Will definitely return
wendy
Liked the historic building. Even thought it was old it could have been cute. It was poorly painted inside and everything was dingy and needed a good cleaning, from the ceiling fan, shower curtains, bedspread, chairs, carpeting. The bed was ok.
Michael
This is an amazing house if you are ready for a different experience from an ordinary room. We felt like we were guests in a private home without the owner being involved in our visit . She made sure we were informed and had everything there for our comfort. We were very satisfied with our two day stay.
Tracy
Beautiful view from the porch and the proprietor was very nice and flexible with check in. We stayed in the upstairs suite and it was quite spacious with a mini fridge and microwave. This is a 200 year old building so it’s not perfect & modern like a new hotel but that’s part of the charm. It could use some updates (the mattress needs to be replaced) but it’s comfortable in every other way. I would definitely stay again if I’m ever in the area.
Phil
What an interesting place to stay! It’s hard to believe that it is over 200 years old. It is a stone’s throw from the Ohio River. So many quaint touches in the room! We will definitely stay there again when we’re in the area.
Crystal
Loved this place. Will stay again.
Anne
Excellent room, very comfortable, wonderful staff.
Janet
Charm. That's the first word to describe this property. Built in 1816, much of the original ediface is used for travelers. An ample porch greets you with picturesque views of the Ohio River. The hotel is right off Main Street, and the architecture has been preserved to attract tourists who like to soak in americana.
The room had its own lock and Marsha, the hostess gives travelers their own key to the room and the front door. Our room was a part of the original property. It now consists of a queen iron bed, 2 wingback chairs, 2 windows that look onto the porch, a filled-in fireplace, a secretary, a tiny area that is just right for a microwave and fridge with a coffee pot and coffee. The bath comes with a ball-and-claw tub with a shower attachment and surrounding shower curtain.
We got a great rate. If you like a very firm mattress, you are in luck! Even though history has been preserved, central heat and air are provided and a ceiling fan to keep away stuffiness.
If you are looking for cleanliness, you have it here! The property could do with a good renovation but the colorful accents provide personality and character. Besides to renovate would mean a rise in rate. Remember that.
We ate really good Mexican food for dinner and an EXCELLENT breakfast at the Main St. Diner. But take a couple of days to relax and soak up the rest it provides. You wont go wrong.

This is an amazing gem tucker away in rural Indiana if you like history or just beautiful views of the river this is the place for you lots of dining and entertainment options within walking distance as well
Jerald
The Empire is a 200+ year old building that has been a restaurant in its history, but has been renovated into a very nice inn. The check in was quick and easy. The host was extremely accommodating and very friendly. We ended up getting an upgrade for our stay to the suite, due to someone wanting to stay an extra day. We were very pleased with our room and our stay.
Christina
Historic Water front property!
Leslie
Very nice hotel. The owner was kind and helpful. Cute little room. Theres a shared refridgerator. It seems more like a hostel vibe than a traditional hotel (which i loved!).
Veanne
The hotel and town was like being in a storybook......the facilities were excellent and we would highly recommend this as a definite stop on your route.
Sarah
This is a super cute hotel in a beautiful, small town. The owner of the property is an absolute gem!! She is friendly. She is welcoming. She works with your schedule, and she makes you feel more than welcome! Had an easy check-in, and are loving our stay!! Totally worth it!
james
Nice small town on the banks of the mighty Ohio River
Alyssa
Host was very accommodating - I was able to check in after 8 PM and pay upon arrival. The room was cozy and had everything I needed. It was a huge bonus that I was able to bring my dog with me.
Nick
Almost perfect. Place is outdated for sure but that's part of the experience so I wouldn't let that negatively impact the assessment of this place. The area including Lawrenceburg nearby is amazing. Picture perfect little town and everything is very clean. The hotel is right on the riverwalk with access to it's beautiful porch if you want to sit outside and relax at night.
My advice: Bring a towel and a hand towel. I'm sure the towels were very clean but they were white and you could tell they were old. Clean...but old. Probably what I would do next time but other than that? We WILL be back everytime we're down there if rooms are available.

Very quiet and peaceful, the over 200 year old hotel had charm. Management was friendly and helpful. We would gladly stay there again. The view of the Ohio River and the walkway was a nice treat. Price was quite affordable as well.

I liked everything about the property.Very clean. The Property owner was very nice and attentive to our needs.Just like staying at my parents house.It was rustic and had good views of the Ohio river.Will definitely stay there every time I come back to Rising Sun Indiana
Carma
Hostess was friendly and helpful. The room was cozy. Bed and pillows were average. Overall it was a good place to stay for the price.
karen
It was a perfect place and location for us
Scott
I spoke to the owner, Martha and she will confirm my credit card to your company needs to be credited for the entire amount charged as we never even got there. I spoke to Martha and she told me to contact Travelocity for credit as this has happened to them previously several times due to where they are located. The online hotels, etc. all show them as closer to the freeway than they actually are. I tried to get a hold of someone to speak to online however; your website only asked specific questions that had absolutely nothing to do with the comments and questions I needed to ask in regards to get our credit. Therefore; I will be expecting a full credit applied to our credit card ending 3940 by tomorrow at the very latest. As far as giving an online review, I will check my credit card pending charges to ensure that the credit has been received and posted against my pending charges on my card.
Keith
One of the reasons I love traveling is to find wonderful gems like this place. I randomly picked this hotel on my way across the country. It was the perfect place sitting right on the Ohio river. I loved every aspect of the hotel and the town. I will be coming back on a regular basis now. Thank you Marsha for the hospitality.
Mary
Perfect location!

Oh my what a treat. It was a diamond. The location, the town, the shops, the scenery, the peacefulness. Surely it's the scene of a Hallmark movie.
Rick
Quiet, peaceful with view of the river. Great price and friendly staff.
Adam
Our stay was enjoyable in every manner and aspect. The suite was genuinely the best value ive ever gotten for a hotel. It feels like youre stepping back in time straight unti a scene from a Humphrey Bogart movie when staying there, while also enjoying the modern amenities. Plus, she lady who runs the hotel is very hospitable and kind. The view of the Ohio River is wonderful as well!

Early 1800s house that's well kept.
Nice room with period correct furnishings. My host was wonderful and I hope to return soon.

Great little spot to stay on the river, in a nice quiet town. Would definitely come back!
russell
Very unique and like staying at your Grandma's house, homey and clean, and cared for property.
Sandra
We enjoyed our view of the Ohio River; small community, decor and feel of 1950 or so. Historical location.
Lee
Staying at the Empire House Hotel is like stepping back more than 100 years in time, except with all the amenities of a modern first class hotel. Coffee on the veranda, watching barges on the river must be what it was like.
The room was spacious and immaculate. The efforts of Marsha to assist us as needed to make the stay enjoyable were greatly appreciated. And, lastly, Rising Sun is a jewel with many things to do and see, or just relax.

Sabrina
We called as we were 15 minutes from the property as directed. When we arrived, we called again and were told that we'd be let in the house in a few minutes. 15 minutes later, after waiting in the heat and humidity, she finally sent her son to open the door.

Sehr schönes, kleines, ruhiges Hotel mit Flair direkt am Ohio. Der Ort Rising Sun ist klein und verschlafen. Die Besitzerin Marsha kümmert sich liebevoll um ihre Besucher und erfüllt ihnen jeden Wunsch. Wir werden wiederkommen.
Larry
We enjoyed our stay, very relaxing. Views were amazing. The only thing I was unhappy with and this is no fault of the owner of Empire house its all Expedia…when I was looking online for accommodations I wanted something close to Noahs Ark and it said it was 26 miles…not true. It was over a hour out of the way. We ended up because of this missing the Ark. But as I said it had nothing to do with the charm of the house, we would stay again.
Anthony
They Hotel was charming. We loved how it had original woodwork and doors. The owner was a very sweet woman. This will be our regular spot when coming to the casino.

Wonderful Getaway
We had a wonderful getaway weekend here in Rising Sun. The 200-year-old Empire House Hotel was exactly what we needed. Our room was small, but very clean and comfortable. Our hostess was gracious and very helpful. We enjoyed dinners at two restaurants within walking distance. We enjoyed the scenic drive along the Ohio River Scenic Byway. We'll be back.

The historic house was super cute...had alot of charm! If you have issues with stairs, make sure to request a downstairs room (no elevator).
Jane
Loved our romantic getaway! Privacy and beautiful views of the river. Marsha the owner is the sweetest and very friendly. Have been here a few times and look forward to our next stay.
Susan J
Marcia/Marsha, was very welcoming. She recommended a couple of local eateries, told me about the ferry that crosses the river when I told her I was going over to Kentucky. The area was very quiet and the view of the river is great.
The building is very old and some of the rooms are small - a result of adding bathrooms to them.
My biggest issue is the room didn't have it's own temperature control. This time of year, through Fall, Winter, and Spring is fine. Not so sure about Summer.
I do hope to be able to stay here again.

Room was too crowded. Not much room to move around because of too much furniture. Nice view of the river and close to everything. Very walkable. Would definitely go back but would ask to see if they had a bigger room.
Donald
A great historic hotel!!
This was an incredible stay! This hotel is 205 years old!! We stayed for 3 nights! Our room was on the first floor, facing the Ohio River. Marsha was very friendly and helpful and gave us a lot of information about the area. The room was clean and had a couple of comfy chairs for relaxing and reading. The shower was in a great claw footed tub!! A real blast from the past! A little out of the way and quiet!! Only about a half hour from the Creation Museum, and another fun drive to the Ark Encounter!!! We’d stay here anytime!!!!!
Bridget
We had such an amazing stay! It was very clean, cozy, homey and decorated beautifully. Marsha is such a sweet person. We will definatley be back

Liked the homey feeling. Owner was great. Being along the Ohio River was good with walking paths easily accessable. Room kept cool in 90 degree weather without using air conditioner.
Jane
Best relaxing stay
My husband and I wanted a quick relaxing night away and the Empire House Hotel delivered! The owner Marsha was so friendly and the place is so homey and comfortable! The location is fabulous. Right on the river with an excellent view. We went on walks on the river and spent time looking at all the small town shops. Very close to Rising Star boat so we did that as well for a bit. We will be back very soon!
Verified traveler
Wonderful place, historic, and right on the river. Enjoyed the quiet evenings and access to the walk path along the river.
Verified traveler
Historic property from the early 19th century. Doesn't have the cookie cutter feel like Corporate properties. Hotel is located in the downtown area of Rising Sun, walkable to the shops, restaurants, bar. Nice riverside view with walkways. It has a very cozy feel to it. I will definitely go back and stay at Empire House.

Restful Stop
In Rising Sun for only one evening but we'll return.

Marsha the owner, was very accommodating. The rooms were delightful. Hotel located right across from Ohio River. Had a large porch that you could sit to watch the boats on the river. Close to downtown. Check out the Mexican restaurant downtown. Great food.
