It was a nice place very quiet. There was no shower so a little difficult getting ready. For the price there should have been at least a continental breakfast.

The Town of Blackwater and Iron Horse Hotel was the end our short visit to 5 small towns in mid Missouri. The Hotel and Town exceeded our expectations. The Owner takes pride in this old Hotel and the Town. We would recommend that this is the Hotel and Town to visit in mid Missouri.

Historic hotel, though few modern conveniences - no nearby parking due to a wedding, no place to eat breakfast in town on Sunday if you stay on Saturday night. No wifi in the room, only in the lobby, no TV, guests could make coffee for themselves in the a.m. in a common area.
