TRACY, 4-night trip

8/10 Good

Being close to trains and the water was great. Condensation on room windows made it difficult to see outside.
David, 1-night trip

6/10 Okay

The hotel review said it had breakfast. No Breakfast.
Gary, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Booked a river view room (204), rec'd confirmation for room 204, but as we were driving to the hotel, rec'd a text that we would be in room 201, which had a broken blind and a view of the parking lot. The Inn is like a ghost town, no bar, the restaurant adjacent is no longer open, no breakfast continental or otherwise as advertised. No staff or management on the premises. Was told they are more Airbnb in format. The positives of our stay is that Ft. Madison itself is charming, and there is an excellent restaurant down the street, Turnwater Bar & Grill. We got a decent nights sleep, but I cannot recommend the Kingsley Inn, nor will I stay there again.

The text indicated that there would only be a skeleton crew. But never saw anyone during our stay. That is good if you are low maintenence. A phone number was provided if you needed help. Everything was just steps away. Perfect location. Enjoyed playing the piano. Please dust it...and the vase on the piano. Enjoyed our stay.

Laura, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

I don't leave negative reviews. I leave fair criticism. The faucet leak in the bedroom was at a constant flow. I couldn't shut the valve off to stop that. I felt a couple of cobwebs near the bed and killed another on the desktop near the window. The bar meant for hanging shirts (I think that's what it was) had no hangers. The bed was comfortable and the room temperature was excellent. The rest of the whole hotel looked very clean and fancy. I walked the hallways at different times of the day/night and did not see another single person or staff member. The views were stunning. The price point is very good so none of the issues I ran into would keep me from staying again overnight.

Awesome Place to Stay

It was a very nice location and friendly staff. The breakfast was good and the things to do were fun around the location.
Matt, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

Missed coffee in the morning!

The code check-in went smoothly. We were told that the hotel was booking up fast, and my sister said she was told she had the last room. We had three rooms and felt there was no one there. We were disappointed that the morning room did not serve breakfast and it was Easter Sunday. We were hoping to sit and at least have a cup of coffee with our family members that had stayed with us.
LeAnn, 1-night trip

Extremely comfortable room. Restaurant on premises was fun. Fort Madison was having a wine stroll so the crowd was friendly and jovial.
