The Kingsley Inn is a combination of the very best in hotels and B&B's. Located near the banks of the Mississippi we had a very large room overlooking the river. All the rooms are beautifully decorated in Victorian style and very ample, with good bathroom facilities. The Breakfast Room is also beautifully decorated and we were served an unusual and... More

Our most recent visit was in September 2012. We have stayed at the Kingsley Inn several times over the years and it continues to be a wonderful spot in a pretty location. It looks out on the Mississippi River, with the old Fort almost right in front. There is a nice park along the river which is great for walking... More

The room we rented at the inn was spacious and comfortable. For an old inn, the refurb was top notch. We could not have asked for more when it came to comfort and space. One issue to consider when staying at this location is the noise from the trains constantly going by. We wanted to stay in this place because... More

The Kingsley Inn is a very nice Bed & Breakfast located across the street from the old Santa Fe Depot and the restored fort. Some of the rooms have lovely views of the river. Breakfast selections were limited but this is often true in a B&B. The food was excellent with friendly service from the host and her college student... More

The Kingsley Inn is a nice enough place, but it is starting to show some age and lack of maintenance. Our room key and door handle never did work. The breakfast was OK, but very crowded with some pretty self entitled guests that detracted from the overall experience. We did celebrate our anniversary and the manager let us enjoy our... More

The people in the room next to me must be deaf because I can perfectly hear everything they are watching on television. It is a cop show with a lot of cussing/beeping! It's midnight I don't want to hear your television. I didn't pay 110 for a room where I wouldn't be able to sleep. I just stayed up all... More

We've stayed at the Kingsley a time or two a year for over 5 years now as we visit family. Up until the last couple of years, it was charming, well run, clean and had gracious hosts. Unfortunately that has all changed. In any interactions with the hosts, one gets the feeling you are inconveniencing them and all arrangements seem... More

I stay at alot of hotels and most are indistinguishable from each other. This is a small hotel in a little town that is definitely unique. It is in a old building that has been redone. If you get there early, they have all the doors to the vacant rooms open so you can go and see the decor in... More

Definitely get a room overlooking the trains and river. You will hear the 83 trains a day, but for some reason, they didn't seem to wake us up at night. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, and the breakfasts are wonderful. We were there for 5 nights and every breakfast had a different hot entree -- the cinnamon French... More

My husband and I stayed for one night at the Kingsley Inn. This is a really nice hotel, with a wide variety of different rooms with different decors and amenities. The website shows each room and describes the room in detail, so you can pick what you want before you go. The hotel has an attached restaurant, Alpha's on the... More
