Charming rooms in an old house. The local historical museum is in part of the first floor; unfortunately, we did not get to spend much time in the museum because we needed to leave soon after arrival for a family event elsewhere. A great place to relax for a couple nights at a bargain price.

The operators need to make it clear that one needs to call about 30 minutes prior to arrival to make sure some one will be there to let you in. We waited around for about 30 minutes after arrival before calling about check-in. Once we called, someone came in about 10 minutes. He was very nice about checking us in, gave us a quick tour of the museum, and told us about some of the history of Smithville.

Location was very easy to get to off the highway. The room accommodations were so perfect. The vintage decor, coxy feel, and spacious room and bathroom. The bathroom was beautiful from the floor tile to the claw tub and the green walls and floral wallpaper. It was done so well!

The mail floor was pretty cluttered making it hard to move around with our luggage. We had a pet with us and arrived after a long car ride so we would have liked to get to our room and settled first before getting the grand tour and history of home, the original owners, and property.

This historical museum/inn is staffed by volunteers who take their duties very seriously. They were extremely accommodating about our change of plans, met us at the property and got us settled. The property is 1/2 block from a great Mexican restaurant and 2.5 blocks from a very good coffee shop. Our dogs loved the back yard! The historical artifacts were interesting and fun. It was private, quiet, clean and comfortable. We will definitely be staying there again!

The floors creaked a bit but that comes with age!

We liked that the Inn was not only historically interesting, but that it was within walking distance to the main section of town. Naturally, the town sported a BBQ restaurant as well as an ice cream shop, which was not only delicious but quite relaxing. Our journey was one of pilgrimage to Gower, Mo., however, this would naturally be a good spot for not only a spiritual retreat, but for someone traveling to KC on business or pleasure.

While the air-conditioning was sufficient, and we were content, it is an older home and museum. Those expecting the Hilton and not something quaint and quiet, should head to the city where you can have all the bustle you can stand.

Quite location. Frank, the Manager, was very knowledgeable about the history of Smithville. The room was furnished nicely, was clean and the bed was comfortable. They allowed us to leave our vehicle at the property and they shuttled us to the airport for $20 making it nice that we didn’t have to leave our car in long term parking! Even though our return flight didn’t get in til midnight, they came and picked us up for another $20. Frank and his wife were delightful hosts. There was a nice kitchen there too although we didn’t use it.

It would have been nice to have a night light in the bathroom.

Very cool and unique place to stay. Frank and Maria are just about the nicest people you will meet. If you want something different ..stay here. Comfortable bed and nice shower. If you have small children, this probably isn’t the best place to stay. Too many old things for children to possibly ruin! Great experience all around!

No complaints here!

It was quiet. Tea was available and kitchen accessible. Nice deck with a picnic table and umbrella. I was able to sit outside in the drizzly rain

Though it was very clean, the house needs work. I could hear mice or some critters running about but never saw any. It was good value and I would go again. But for those looking for modern perfection in the building this is not it.

Breakfast was not included. It was a great location for our visit to Excelsior Springs and Weston Missouri. There were 3 in our party and the room accommodated us very well. Our host, Frank Justus, was delightful and very accommodating.

Internet was not good. It was a hot spot and not enough bandwidth for phone Internet.

Old clawfoot bathtub with shower conversion fits the room well, but is difficult for older folks to climb into or out of. Not a complaint, just mentioning so potential guests are aware.

we loved how beautiful the home was and it’s location being near downtown. walking distance from great shops and restaurants

no complaints it was a wonderful stay
