Reviews:
"We truly enjoyed staying at the Chessie Room! It was the perfect setting to lift our mood and calm our spirits. Our journey was imperfect, but our lodging was not. The ambiance you have created here is delightful, right down to this dragon [themed] journal and the apparent joy you have provided to countless travelers over the years. Please continue to welcome in those who wander so we can have a chance to stay again." - The Wayfarers
NO CHECK-IN NECESSARY. PRIVATE ENTRANCE.
The Chessie Room is part of the old Baltimore and Ohio train station, now called Heritage Station. It is located on the second floor of the old Huntington Bank building, allegedly robbed by the Jesse James gang in 1875. Fact or fiction its our story and we are sticking to it. Click here to read about the bank robbery. Read a little more about "recent" history here: Chessie Room Circa 1920, and General John Hunt Oley.
At Heritage Station you are steps away from a bakery, tap room, and boutique shops. Within three blocks of The Chessie Room are multiple restaurants, the historic Keith Albee Theater, the Marshall Health Arena, Pullman Square, Marshall University Fine Arts Center, and movie theaters - in other words you are in the heart of downtown.
With the help of our friends we have created a suite where we would like to spend time ourselves. Maybe you would too.
Business, pleasure, or staycation, The Chessie Room offers something a little special. Come on by.
