This was quite a find. We were coming to Lenox for a family reunion and couldn't find a place to…read morestay. I happened upon the Lenox Lodge on Google maps and gave them a call. Amanda was great, very responsive and helpful and took care of us. When we arrived, the place was very clean and welcoming. There were snacks and drinks and food for breakfast. Everything is clean and new, and the furniture is very eclectic. We'd definitely stay here again. They get five stars from me.

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.

I showed up at this Hotel with Normal expectations only to be disappointed, I cannot stress enough…read morehow nasty and run down this hotel is. On top of the dirty filth on just about everything there were even bed bugs on the mattress. I even asked to be moved to a different room after the owner told me that they had plenty of rooms, And just as dirty as his own hotel he told me they were sold out just 10 minutes after checking in.. So I tell him I will be going somewhere else because I am not staying in a room with bed bugs , no desk chair very little light in the room and the counter top was dirty with a used bar of soap on it.. you can't make this up in a holiday horror film.. Not even a hotel phone in the room.

The owner, Sandy, was quick with communication when I had questions about what to expect. Her home is very large with several guest rooms, some with private restrooms. The common areas have large TVs with cable and several dvds to choose from. There's a pool table, a grand piano, and a pond with a doc and kayaks for guest use. Everything you'd want in a BnB with a lovely host that made us feel very welcome!

We stopped in here for dinner and it was DELIGHTFUL! From the aesthetic of the restaurant to the server to the food! Not one aspect of our meal was less than great!
