Stayed 4 days and 2 things need addressed, there was no hot water after the first night, and the same lady in the kitchen area was rude for no reason and complained when someone would tell her something was out.

The room was nice and clean. The bed pretty comfortable. The breakfast buffet was really good though. The only thing that was wrong was, there was no hot water the whole 4 days we were there. And we were not told about it. I felt they could at least of told us. But other than that it was good.
We stayed at the BW State Fair Inn in Sedalia after my first day on a through ride on the Katy Trail.
The hotel was an old style "doors-on-the-outside" hotel circa the 1970s and no elevator to the second floor. However, the experience there was very good. The staff was very efficient and friendly upon check in. The rooms were spotless, the water hot and the beds very clean and comfortable.
The breakfast the next day was excellent. Real, organic scrambled eggs rather than the powdered eggs you get from some of the other hotel chains. We ended up making breakfast tacos with the eggs and leftover fajitas in the microwave which were delicious.
The hotel was only a couple of minutes from the Fairgrounds trailhead which was very convenient.
Room was clean and quiet. Beds were a little firmer than I like, but that is the only thing I would change! The staff was so nice, the whole place was so clean and the area was convenient. There's a gas station across the street and restaurants too. The BREAKFAST! Oh my goodness! It was the best hotel breakfast I have ever had.

Liked: Staff & service
Staff was excellent. Reservation and check in was easy. Hotel is showing it's age. Room was clean, AC great, breakfast was good. Parking was convenient. My room was by exit and ice machine so a little noisy. My room could use a face lift. Parking lot needs paving. Overall a good place to stay. But they are getting top dollar for a moderate level room.
A bit of an older place that can use a refurbishment. The breakfast was enjoyable with a good variety. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Great follow up on any issues.
This was a very old hotel with walkout doors so you could go straight to your vehicle.
A very good Mexican restaurant close by was quiet, clean old, just like me
We stay here every year when we come to Sedalia. Rooms are clean and have a nice breakfast. This time the text us telling our room was ready. Which was nice! Always enjoy our here. Parking is great too!
