Cute 1 night stay

We were passing through on a motorcycle trip. The hotel was just as described. Nothing too fancy and no interaction with anyone while checking in or out. There was a cool looking bar area but it was closed for a private party. Not many dinner choices around the area however we took a beautiful stroll along the water to the marina where we had a drink and dinner.

Horrible hotel in a tiny town

Room was freezing even at 75 degrees, until the sun comes up, shining brightly into the curtainless windows. There are blinds, but they block none of the light. It’s not like I could sleep anyway with the sounds of the nearby train going all night. The couch in the room was disgustingly stained, and the TV only had one volume - LOUD. Never again.

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.

Historical charm

The hotel is a beautiful historical building located in the heart of Fort Madison. We stayed in room 303 which has a view of the Mississippi River as well as the train tracks (for train lovers). Despite being so close to the train tracks, the hotel is rather quiet, and we were provided ear plugs and a noise machine which helped with the noise that did come through. The hotel was clean and overall well maintained, although our tub drain did back up during showers and our AC struggled to cool the room during the day. The bed was rather uncomfortable and the sheets were too small for the depth of the bed and would slip off of the corners during the night. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.

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.

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.

On arrival we were greeted and shown our room. Everything was excellent. We were then informed that no staff would be on site after 10pm. They also no longer offer breakfast service but a small cafe was available around the corner. For our two day stay were did not encounter any staff or other guests. Until late on our second night when the hotel manager entered our room unexpectedly. Luckily we were not doing anything that would be embarrassing. After meeting the manager again in the hallway she apologized while laughing about the incident. We did not find it amusing. We decided to chain our door when we returned for the night after dinner. There overall look of the hotel is nice and cozy. The flooring looks new and bathrooms are remodeled. The light fixtures in the bathroom were fairly dusty. The antique furniture was appealing but the armoire was annoying. It would not lock and the doors squeaked every time you walked around the room. The view of the river and train tracks was nice. However, you cannot open the windows since they are covered by glass. If not for intrusion our stay would have been fairly quiet and we would’ve thought the place was all ours.

Loved watching the Trains

We were on a trip back from Branson MO and wanted to stop at this hotel because of the busy train line in front of the hotel. I can spen hours watching trains and this room did not dissapoint. We stayed in room 203 because being 6'7\" tall I need a king size bed and I was glad to see they offered one on the river view side of the hotel. Such a wonderful place for the train enthusiasts. There is a kitchen right down the hall if you like to bring your own meals. The staff was great and I am sure lonely since being an off season, there were only a couple of rooms occupied. Trains went by 24/7 but don't worry the room has a sound machine and they will provide ear plugs if needed. It's a must stop for anyone that loves to watch trains.

Nice stay

We enjoyed our weekend at the Kingsley. Our bed was comfortable and the room was nice. Everything was clean. Staff was very nice. Breakfast was disappointing. Continental. Yogurt, muffins, cereal - frozen sandwiches for microwave. There are so many new options for hot self service breakfast. Waffles or pancakes would have been great. No fresh fruit:( Just expected a bit more from such a nice place. It was perfectly fine though, no special effort.

The train across the street would blow the horn 4 times for the crossing 3-4 times a night we actually didn’t even wake up after the first night but earplugs were provided. Check in/out was easy, very private, and quiet.

A fair breakfast...frozen things to heat & eat, cereals, juices, muffins, bagels, etc. Our room did not have a fridge or microwave so we had to keep things cold in a cooler with ice.

Very comfortable and charming stay

We had a great two night stay at the Kingsley Inn. The staff was helpful, the room was a good size and very comfortable. The breakfast was serve yourself continental style, but it had enough option. We had four people staying in our room and it was very helpful to have restrooms down the hall if ours was being used. I also really appreciated that I could store some food in the kitchen refrigerator as we were mid-road trip. The building is so quaint and all of the period touches are lovely. I would stay here again if ever in the area.

If you are a light sleeper, this may not be the hotel for you. Our room faced the back parking lot and a nearby building had a really loud industrial fan that ran constantly. It just made for white noise for me and was not a problem. Also, the train runs often and it was also loud - it never interrupted my sleep and I found it added to the charm, but ear plugs are provided just in case.


We walked a couple of blocks along the River and ate dinner at a Chinese restaurant we discovered on the information board. It was good and a nice part of our stay.

You do need to be aware that the trains ‘toot’ as they go past and some are quite long but the hotel does supply ear plugs & using them I wasn’t bothered by the noise.

Across the street from a train station and horn

The hotel decor is very nice, themed out in a victorian style. Very well done. What wasn't noted is it's across the street from a train station that blows it's horn 24 hrs/ day/night. Ear plugs and a white noise maker were provided. The carpeted floor was so stained and blackened that I did not want to walk barefoot. The window ac unit was just boarded up into the window and the putty was very sloppy around the ac unit.This room needs to not be rented out until new flooring and fixing of a couple things are completed. There was just a real lack of thoroughness by housekeeping. Only shampoo bottle and lotion, no conditioner. No-one on site at arrival at 10pm. The answering service did answer promptly and gave a code to get into the hotel. Breakfast was descent but sausage muffins were frozen rock solid to microwave, and the waffle batter was prepoured into foam cups that had also been frozen and dethawed. The pre-hard boiled eggs tasted old. The large muffins were very yummy though. If you're okay with the train horn, this hotel has a great look, just needs some refining.

I guess I should have expected it beings the building was so old, but the a/c was basically broken. I spent the evening in an 82 degree room. Very uncomfortable. I also paid for room 303 but was placed in room 302.
It’s not their fault the area is a wasteland for dining- I wish the river rocks bar had been open. Probably would have changed the experience.
I love the idea behind this place- but I would either not book the third level rooms in the summer, warn guests the a/c is malfunctioning or upgrade the system asap.
I kinda wonder if the room I was supposed to get had working a/c…

The staff was extremely kind. The entire Inn was immaculate! We got to walk around and check out all of the rooms that nobody was staying in. Each one was unique and different from the others. The whole place gave you a warm, comfortable nostalgic feel. Definitely a \"diamond in the rough\" that people need to know about and try out. Some might not like having trains go by, but the Inn tries to accommodate and has white noise machines in each room (we used ours and it was very nice!). We go to Burlington for sporting events a lot and will be staying here when we can every time!!

The property was decorated with beautiful antiques in a beautiful old building. What a great renovation they did on this building.

As a native of Fort Madison, I have always been around the Kingsley Inn but I've actually never been inside let alone stayed the night at the property before. I was very pleased with the ease of checking in, getting to my room, and checking out--very modernized despite the old-fashioned atmosphere of the hotel. What is also nice is that the rooms seem up-to-date with proper electricity and cleanliness while maintaining its Victorian charm. I'd say it's the best place to stay in FM, and will be booking directly with the Kingsley next time. :)
