“My first stay here was in 2020 and I’ve come back every year sometimes multiple times a year. I keep forgetting to leave a raving gold star review but I remembered this time so I’m seated to get all my thoughts out. This place is THE destination. If you’re looking for a great, quiet, comfortable, cozy, clean, friendly, convenient, etc. place to stay on your roadtrip off I-70 come here and check out all the local shops in the morning on your way. The people are friendly and the town has such an interesting history. All the world’s biggest things in one place and sourced from local material. The list goes on people. The hotel itself is perfect. The bathrooms are always clean and stocked. The bedrooms are always tidy and clean. The building was excellently renovated and you can see the care that went into the renovations and restorations. Things to note because it’s old: the doors are a little clunky just be patient with them they’re old! (Maybe they’ll upgrade the doors who knows?) they also have an exterior elevator lift to the upper floors which is awesome if you can’t do stairs or have heavy bags. My personal favorite things about coming here over the years has been the cozy beds, the amount of light that comes in the huge windows. The sound of the train at night rocks ya to sleep like a good Midwest summer night should. And the convenience of the booking and checkin/out is mwah (chef kiss). I look forward to my stay here every year it’s like a reward. 10/10”
