Historic hotel, though few modern conveniences - no nearby parking due to a wedding, no place to eat breakfast in town on Sunday if you stay on Saturday night. No wifi in the room, only in the lobby, no TV, guests could make coffee for themselves in the a.m. in a common area.

It was a nice place very quiet. There was no shower so a little difficult getting ready. For the price there should have been at least a continental breakfast.

Was advertised as having breakfast and there wasn’t any breakfast. We should have been told this up front. Also, there were multiple trains that went by very close to the hotel and blew their whistles as they went by.

I had picked this hotel because it was listed as a B&B. When we got there we were told they didn’t serve breakfast. It was kinda of a do it your self hotel room. Not having a shower was a big deal for my wife.

Friendly Nichole called the day of our stay to give us a heads up on check-in (piece-o-cake.) If you love old architecture, this is for you. This review for SOUTHERN BELLE ROOM. Outer walls brick, inner walls padded fabric. 10-ft ceilings and 18” crown molding! It was a hot day, and we expected our room to be warm with west exposure and 4 big single-pane windows. But they must have a tremendous ventilation system; it was very comfortable. The room had good blackout curtains. They do stand apart and away from the wall a bit. so if you’re a privacy freak, just bring a few clothespins. Someone did a great job cleaning the room. The clawfoot tub sports a few scuffs, but has a perfect angle for soaking, way better than modern tubs. The mattress was pretty comfortable. The 4-poster frame is beautiful; it did squeak quite loudly when I turned over. Beautiful old furniture does that. There’s a lounge upstairs with frig & microwave, chairs & magazines, coffee/tea fixings, extra towels, ironing board, and an entrance to the rooftop deck. Even flashlights to step out there after dark. They’re upgrading the patio area—a great spot for morning coffee by the flowers. You may have a visitor cat. Food isn’t served there, but if you bring microwave food, you can use tables and an ice machine in the dining room. There’s also a great room for guests to relax in. One train went around bedtime—close and loud and fun! If any more went in the night, we didn’t hear them.

Wonderful charming hotel

I had a very good experience at this cozy hotel. My room was clean and the décor was very unique. The service was excellent—the young lady who attended to us was very kind. The hotel is located next to the train tracks, and during the early morning you could hear the train passing by, but it wasn’t bothersome at all. Plus, they provide earplugs in the room in case the noise bothers you.

The Town of Blackwater and Iron Horse Hotel was the end our short visit to 5 small towns in mid Missouri. The Hotel and Town exceeded our expectations. The Owner takes pride in this old Hotel and the Town. We would recommend that this is the Hotel and Town to visit in mid Missouri.
