Fort Madison is an interesting community on the Mississippi. Jason was super friendly upon check-in. I loved watching and listening to the trains! Check out the Bent Oak Bookstore just a block away! Fabulous indie bookstore.

Temting but not inviting
The place is very charming, tempted to stay another day. Unfortunately, the hotel was closed when we arrived, luckily another guest arrived (the only person staying there that day) and informed us that we need to call the hotel's number. A person came and opened the door and checked us in, and gave us codes to be able to enter the hotel and our room. The bar and restaurant were not open that day and the next. Consequently we left the next day.

The property is located across the street from the Mississippi River, providing scenic views, a walkable environment and interesting history. The guest kitchen needs a serious cleaning, reorganizing and upkeep. It is obvious that it does not get the regular attention the guest rooms do.

Nice remodeling to make it look old. Everything was great with the exception of the trains in the night. But even they weren’t too bad. Had a great stay. Need to get the bridge fix before I can recommend to my friends and neighbors since we are all members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and want to see the Nauvoo Temple. Thanks

This is a great mix of a Bed and Breakfast and Boutique hotel. For a 140 year old building it was nicely laid out and decor while Victorian was clean and fresh. The general manager and staff were fantastic.

Building has a lot of history and character. Employees are wonderful. The only drawback is it is noisy because of its proximity to train tracks.
