“The Continental Hotel is always one of my first recommendations for friends and family visiting Appanoose County, but my main point of this review is to share how great it is for couples getting married in our around Centerville to utilize. We booked a two bedroom suite for our bridal party to get ready in for our November wedding-- we were getting married down the street at The Majestic Theater. The suite was beautifully kept, well stocked and so much bigger than you'd think they would be. There was a time that probably 15 people were in the room and it didn't feel overwhelming or crammed. Our hairstylist & makeup artist also noted that there was great natural light for helping us get ready, something they usually don't see in hotels. Their staff is incredibly friendly, knowledgable and helpful. They also allowed us to order snacks from the restaurant that were delivered right up to our room in more sharing-friendly formats (Ex: smaller croissants for chicken salad sandwiches) Bonus Points: Their gorgeous bar is a great place for groomsmen photos!”
