During one of our previous trips from Columbus to Denver, we did one of the SENCIC BYWAYS in Kansas…read more- running from the town of Wilson on the south to Lucas on the north. While in Wilson, we spotted the Midland Railroad Hotel and Restaurant and decided to arrange the itinerary for our next trip so we could spend the night in WIlson. So, we arrived late afternoon and got checked in. The hotel has been restored to what it was like around the 1920's but with full upgrades including fire sprinklers, air conditioning, etc. Our room was a bit on the small side (1920'ish) but was quite comfortable. The bed was very comfortable and we got a great night's sleep. The was a complimentary breakfast in the morning that consisted mostly of local bakery projects, meats and cheeses. If you looking for modern amenities or a full HOT breakfast, you should stick with the major hotel chains. BUT, if you're into history and histrorical restorations, this place can't be beat. We thoroughly enjoyed our night in Wilson at the Midland Railroad Hotel and Restaurant.

When we booked I specifically asked if the restaurant needed reservations, told definitely not but low & behold it did . Did get in to the restaurant , food & service atrocious . My meat & onions were soggy , did not eat . I always tip but the service was so bad , no tip. Breakfast ugh . Ok never again

We swung in for a late lunch after bad experiences at Cozy Inn and Braum's nearby. This made up for…read moreall of it! We were greeted nicely and they were patient as us first-timers perused the menu. We ended up with a Sourdough Mushroom Swiss Steakburger and a Sourdough Philly Cheese Steak. Both of them were pretty great, but the cheese steak was a real winner. The fries were those great crispy kind that we love. We ordered a strawberry shake and a pumpkin pie slide and those were both the best they could be. The ambiance was interesting with all the Elvis decor and such. It's a little over the top, but sometimes that's just what you want. I can see more visits to Spangles in our future!
