Shoal Creek B&B is a perfect place to stay if you are in Hamilton or the area. We were there…read morebecause my sister wanted to visit the quilt capital of the world - which it definitely is (be sure to visit the MSQ Museum). Back to our B&B - the host does not live on site but is available 24/7 to help if needed. We stayed in the Estate Room which has a bed and twin daybed plus a private bathroom suite. It was SWEET (intentional). The house is beautiful - with original woodwork and flooring. Plus, very, very comfortable. It is located in town with parking on site. Our hostess made an excellent breakfast of French toast, bacon, fried potatoes and watermelon. I was able to self-serve my Keurig coffee in the morning and sit on the front porch to start my day. Definitely stay here! Security? It's Hamilton, MO. Just be sure you lock the outer doors at night PLUS your room has a combination lock on it too. We had no problems at all.

Before booking a room at Shoal Creek B&B, you should be aware that it is not owner-occupied…read more On page 5 of the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services Environmental Regulation and Licensure Unit Governing Lodging Establishments, the definition of "bed and breakfast" states that "the owner must live in or adjacent to the building." The owner, Terri Westover, does not live in or adjacent to the building. This is not disclosed on the B&B's website or in the reservation confirmation emails. Westover sent me an email the day I was to arrive, asking me what time I expected to be there. She advised that she would not be onsite and gave me the front door code. She said she would meet me when she came to serve breakfast the next morning. A nice couple arrived the same time I did. They had not received her email because they had been on the road, and they were surprised that she was not there. She had not informed them about the parking arrangements, so they scouted around for a place to park their RV. Once we got inside and toured the place, it was apparent that no one lives there. The bedrooms are all guest rooms. The refrigerator has only breakfast items. This means that when you reserve a room there, you have no way of knowing if you will be staying there alone, or with people you would rather not be alone with. You don't get to decide if that's an acceptable risk. Westover decides for you. When I was there, the other guests were lovely people. Probably all the guests who stay there are lovely people. But it is purely a matter of luck. Westover doesn't know squat about who is at her front door. All she's interested in is your credit card. She left a Hamilton visitors' guide in a nook, but there was no printed information with instructions in case of an emergency. I did not see lighted fire exit signs or fire extinguishers or smoke detectors. If you need to escape from your room, you'll have to jump from the second floor. Whether she changes the door code in between visitors is anybody's guess. There was no visible security apparatus. Someone would only have to break a ground-floor window to gain access to the house. Westover provides her phone number but she did not leave a list of emergency contacts. The nearest ER is in Cameron, 16 miles away. Anything that happens to the house, or to you or anyone else there during the night, you will have to deal with until Westover can get there, which will not be as fast as if she was there already. Since she is almost certainly in violation of zoning and licensure regulations, it begs the question what her insurance would cover in case of theft, damage to property or injury to someone's person. Whatever. There is something furtive about her lack of transparency. Poor hospitality is the best thing I can call it. She is not trustworthy, which is even worse.

(First two visits included a mystery rag on the sink with "The Rag" written in black marker, but now there's a sign with its backstory) Apparently it's a Midwestern tradition for some hotels to designate old rags for reuse, instead of trashing them when there's some utility left. With that said... Every time I've stayed here, it's been a good deal. The rooms come with a fridge and microwave, the rooms have been recently renovated and the beds are fine. However, there's been a problem with bugs and/or flies each time. I understand it's summer, but these rooms seem to attract them. Also, the was no hot water with my most recent stay, as it was only marginally warm. 3-stars for being cheap and the fact that the staff are friendly...

The area is very quiet. They have free coffee. This is my second stay here and everything (hot water, air conditioner, tv, mini fridge) worked fine both times. The mattresses are very firm, which I prefer. Did I mention that it's inexpensive? Had to mark them down after my second night. The pillows were rock hard. I asked if I could switch them out and got little response from the front desk staff. Eventually, I asked the cleaning staff for a switch (seriously, the pillows were awful) and she was really helpful. Also, the office closes at some point at night and doesn't open again until seven.
