I love this hotel and I love the Ascend Collection. Clean, reasonably priced, quiet. Great bed. Most of all it has a personality and they are proud of their history. The young lady who checked us in was great (even found me some batteries for my camera because the gift shop was out). Sorry I didn't get her name but it was the evening shift. The bartended in the lounge was great too. Couteous and friendly. The continental is the usual cereal/muffin/toast but it's free so it's fine. Only downside is that the (free) parking lot is not lighted at night. We hope to go back.

Hotel Bothwell has been beautifully restored and provided a wonderful place to stay during our bicycling excursion along the Katy Trail. Its restaurant was also very good. I would definitely stay here again, but be aware that there is not much else along in the historic part of Sedalia. While the city architecture is beautiful, most of the storefronts are vacant. Also, while the hotel has coin laundry facilities, they have no detergent and were unable to supply us any.

I stayed at this hotel with my family for a show at the Liberty Center. It's just a block away from the Liberty Center and Fox Theatre. We walked to the Katy Depot, which was about 6 blocks.

We had a few problems while we were there, but nothing that would make me not come back. Electricity went out one morning about 830 and messed up the elevator, which was not fixed until late afternoon. They have a service elevator that could be used if operated by hotel staff, so if you couldn't take the stairs, they would take you up. We took the stairs! At 1:45am we headed to our rooms on the 6th floor and our card keys would not work. Took the elevator to the front desk, got new keys, tried those keys(didn't work), went back down and the guy came back up with us with new cards and they still didn't work. He had to get a master(looked like a giant remote control, with a cord) to open both doors. Very nice about it and apologized. Still not sure what happened!! Maybe ghosts!!!

We had five rooms occupied and they all seemed to be a little different. Some were bigger than others. Mine was small, but enough room for two people. Bathroom was on the smaller side and dated, but historic. Had a hard time with the showerhead at first. It was just spitting, so I turned it off and back on twice before it had more pressure.

Everything was clean and our rooms were cleaned and made up while we were out. No problems with the staff, helped when we needed them.

The walls are very thin, but I never had trouble sleeping from noise. There are some noises during the night from the air conditioner and just an old building, so if it has to be super quiet while you sleep, stay home, cause all hotels are never that quiet!

The lady at the Ivory Grille lounge was very nice. My parents ate dinner at the Ivory Grille and said it was very good. We also ate breakfast at a place called Paula Jean's which was at Ohio and 16th. Bothwell is at Ohio and 4th. It was really good. There are two cafe's there, we ate at both, but I would suggest Paula Jean's. The other cafe was hot inside and you could smoke inside. The food was good at both though! Continental breakfast at the hotel wasn't great unless you like waffles, cereal and toast or bagels(w/o cream cheese). They ran out of reg coffee too. They didn't have much.

Haunted Hotel Bothwell: We heard it was haunted and how can it not be! Nobody in our group encountered ghosts, but I had a weird thing happen to me while in the shower. The water was very hot, so it shouldn't have been cold at all in the shower, but I had a spot on me that got very cold while standing under the shower. I took a few steps, turned around and the cold went away. That's the only thing that I encountered.

The area around the hotel is very nice, good place to get out and walk around!

This hotel dates back to the 1920's with much history framed and on the walls throughout the hotel. We chose this hotel over the usual and customary chain hotels as they have a fitness room free to their guests. During our 3 nights no one ever entered our room to make up the bed, take away the dirty towels, or refresh our room until we complained on the last night and they could not apologize enough. A 9 inch snow fall kept the help from being there, however, someone could have checked on their guests. The dining room is fabulous, great food, and they did give us one night free for our troubles. We probably will not stay there again.
