Desiring a unique getaway experience, while providing a special treat for my wife during Mother’s Day weekend, I discovered the Hotel Bothwell, on the National Register of Historical Places, was only four blocks from the Amtrak station depot in Sedalia, MO. With no traffic to combat, I thought traveling via Amtrak and a “journey back in time” would induce the... More

We have been to this hotel before and found it to be just as enjoyable as our previous visit. Check-in was pleasant. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was very nice. You can tell they take pride in their hotel. It's clean and the furnishings are quality. And the bed was so comfortable. We enjoyed a drink in... More

I stayed one night February 2013 on a business trip. I was greeted cheerfully upon check in and the staff was very friendly. My room was a single with a queen size bed. The room was small but typical for the era when the hotel was built. The hotel was not very crowded so the stay was quiet and pleasant.... More

I wanted to take my boyfriend on a weekend trip for Valentine's Day to get out of the "bigger city" atmosphere. Having stayed at the Hotel Bothwell previously last summer during the state fair, I figured that it would be a nice place to return to. Boy was I right! The second time around was just as wonderful, if not... More

Had always wanted to stay here and got an opportunity last fall. The hotel is located in the business district of downtown Sedalia and there are shops and restaurants nearby. The hotel has a lounge, restaurant, gift shop, and breakfast area. The hotel is in a historic building but the elevators do work. The room I was in was very... More

Usually my wife and I stay with my parents at my childhood home, but since it was crowded for the holidays we opted to spend a night at the Hotel Bothwell. My initial choice was a lower-end motel, but the online reviews for it were extremely poor. When I... More

Beautiful, historic hotel provided perfect ambiance for our Christmas stay! There were outside lights and a Christmas tree on the roof of the 7 story building - stunning to drive up to at night. The lobby managed to be cozy and elegant with four beautifully decorated Christmas trees! The staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. As in any older property,... More

This is one of those rare finds in an old downtown area that is striving to make a come back. The hotel was decorated to the nines for Christmas and had that old time flare that made you feel down home comfortable. The people were magnificent, friendly and helpful. The rooms although old were very comfortable. The Wifi was as... More

We only live about 30 minutes from the Hotel Bothwell but have always thought this would be a great place to stay and we were right! Very nice staff and the hotel itself was beautiful...four thumbs up! :) We also decided to eat at the Ivory Grille, the hotel's in-house restaurant and it was awesome as well. Great service and...
