The town of Blackwater and the town's anchor, The Iron Horse, looks like something out of a scary…read moremovie in rainy November. We were taken back at first by the sleepy town and old hotel and my imagination went wild in all the best ways. But once you get to know the people and history, you find the heart of a town that is so warm, kind and real. We love the vibe of this Iron Horse Hotel. It's so charming, unique, historic and is a one-of-a-kind find. Nichole was so friendly and helpful and puts a lot of love and care into this hotel. It's not your typical hotel--it's truly a unique old-town experience. The ceilings are high, the furniture is antique and the details are divine. Other than an occasional train (which is part of the history) it's so quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed our stay and if we are ever in the area again, we'd definitely stay here! After having dinner with friends in Columbia, we came back expecting to just chill at the Iron Horse but stumbled across a fun group at Dapper Daq. We had so much fun with them! In the morning when we checked out, we visited Christina's for breakfast and she made a wonderful spread. We left Blackwater feeling like we escaped the rush of highways, business chains and everyday life. Disclosure: there is no tv or shower--only a claw-foot bathtub. There are no dinner restaurants or gas stations. None of this bothered us. It added to the whole experience! I treated myself to a long bath and enjoyed the quiet (no tv, no car traffic, etc).

We observed one or two nightly and they pass through quickly. A fun plus was access to the lobby, which is the next door down. Books are available to read from local authors / about the region. The service is very personable. This may not be everyone's cup of tea but my family enjoyed it. Having usually stayed in more mainstream establishments, I enjoy the smaller businesses better and will continue to seek places like this out.

This motel has undergone a good renovation. The rooms are very cozy. Everything you could want is…read morein the room. Satellite with smart TVs! Kitchenette with all the essentials (pots, pans, dishes, measuring cups, coffe filters, etc.). Be aware that you will have to do the dishes as there are no dishwashers. Each room has a different lounging set-up. I prefer the recliners or sofa. The bathroom is really nice. New tile on the floor and shower. New vanities. New everything! Management is extremely helpful. You can reach them by text anytime. They respond to your needs quickly. And the rooms are cleaned once a week. There are only a few cons. The walls are VERY thin (at night I recommend turning the vent on the microwave on to drown out sound). The AC unit runs constantly in the spring/summer (this causes the pipes in the walls to pop at certain times which can be loud). And I think, stress think, these rooms used to be smoking before the renovation (bring some type of room freshener if this slight odor might bug you). I would definitely stay here again. It's a great value, great management and cute cozy rooms.

Very Clean, Very nice and inviting. Quiet, much better than the super 8 at a comparable price.read more

Quaint little casino with lots of parking stalls in front and an overflow off to the side. I'm not much of a gambler but my mom loves the game, especially the slots. She did not come up this time, but she had a great time. For me, being a non-gambler, I brought my laptop and settled in the tables near the casino's entrance. Hooked up to the wall outlet and did my thing. Watched as people queued up to receive their free gift for playing. They were handing out air fryers. Do get yourself to the service desk and sign up for your players card. Always ask of theres any free play with your sign up. You never know what their latest promo will provide.

It was a good stay. The room smelled clean and fresh...not like air freshener but clean. It had…read moreeverything I needed. A desk, small table and a fridge and microwave. The linens smelled so fresh and clean. The mattress was comfortable. Things to consider.... they do not provide shampoo or conditioner so bring your own and there are no plug in near the head of the bed so bring a long phone charger or extension cord. But for the price it's a small thing. My only issue and again a very small one is I wish they had a bath mat to put down when you step out of the shower. I was the only one in the room so I just used one of the hand towels. Great place for the price! Will definitely stay there again if the need arises.

As soon as you walk in the lobby of the Fredrick, you feel transferred back to and earlier, more classic but simple time. The decoration and old school/original design of the hotel really captured this clients' fascination. I am a sucker for classics!

Located right no the Missouri River in Boonville, this hotel is a must stay for any traveler! I will definitely e back!!

Okay, so many things to say about this place. I totally enjoyed myself, but openly admit that this…read moreplace is not for everyone. If you want a hotel for just the sake of having somewhere to sleep, this might not be the place for you. It is very convenient to the Katy Trail and Main Street Boonville, but it's not a chain place, and it's a little more expensive. The place was built in 1905, and it must've been nice for a town this size then. Judging from the makeup of room 6, it looks like they combined two rooms to make the one and then added the bathrooms (rooms in older hotels were tiny by modern standards and often had shared bathrooms). I'm sure they did that to all the rooms. It must've been very pricy to renovate this place. There's little touches that give this place character. A mix of modern and antique which yes, if you're not in the right mindset, you might not like at all. Myself, I loved the old style wooden blinds, thought the bed was comfy, and enjoyed the very effective a/c in my room after a hot day. The main things to give people pause will be a slight mustiness (think old library), creaky wooden floors, small TVs, and inconsistent hot water. One night I just couldn't get it hot and the next, it was as hot as a modern house. Oh, and one bit of advice when picking the rooms. Think carefully about whether you want a shower or a bath, as it looks like the ones with the jacuzzi tubs do not have shower heads, so it's a bath or nothing. As for the staff, they were all pleasant enough, but they didn't give the kinda spiel about all the options that you get from a lot of places. What would probably be better (and this could be a Covid thing preventing it) would be a little pamphlet or plastic card detailing what is where, maybe a menu for the restaurant posted, just little things like that. I don't usually bother with hotel breakfasts, but detailing that would be a good thing to put on a pamphlet as well. You could even point out the little shops or restaurants around town there, which I'm sure would save the front desk some work as well. Regardless, if I come back this way, I will happily stay here again. You just don't see a lot of places like this anywhere.

Front desk staff working here was superb! From check in to…read morecheck out... They treated us like VIP!!! The breakfast staff. A lady that keenly reminded me of my mom... Was just super fantastic. She even gave my daughters compliments and candy. I couldn't have asked for a better start to the day! We were here for 1 night. The hotel was easy to find and seemed very secure and safe. The place was clean as was our room. Only knock on the whole stay was ice machine only available on the 4th floor. This Hotel might make it to where it would be hard to stay anywhere else! The area is definitely attractive. (Restaurants, shopping ease of getting on the highway) Thank you for being available to experience a successful vacation.
