This hotel had what you look for in a place to stay. The room was clean and we felt safe there. Yes the room was small but it was comfortable and quiet. And it was a very interesting building with that great Western United States historic vibe to it. Much more interesting than staying at any chain hotel. But checking... More

Checked in last night expecting a nice room, dinner, bar etc! None of the above!!! Check in was a struggle for them! Charged our CC for the night right away without asking if we wanted to pay cash or credit. Then found out they had a Christmas party planned so the bar and dining area were closed to the public....

The prime rib was very tender. Our Christmas party was there. I had never been there before. Great atmosphere. The people working there love this place. They are ready to show it off. Every room was booked for the night. We did not stay as all were from a 60 mile radius. Sometimes it is nice to appreciate a historical... More

It is a nice restored hotel with huge potential but nobody seemed to care! To begin with there was no one at the front desk. We had to wait 15 minutes to check in and then we were not given the rooms we had been promised. The rooms were very small but clean. We went down stairs to have dinner... More

Our first floor room was small but very clean and nicely appointed. The staff was helpful and pleasant. We enjoyed dinner in the basement Sample Room. It is close to the train track as it is a RR hotel so trains can be heard. The sound did not bother us. The hotel provided a change of scenery from the interstate... More

First of all, you must understand that this is a restored turn of the century, 20th century that is, hotel. The rooms are a little small, based on today's standards, especially when you put queen size beds in them. We stayed in one of the Queen size suites. Our room was basically divided into 3 sections. When you first come... More

I made reservations for two nights on 9-18-12, upon checking in at the front desk I found they had already charged my credit card for the whole two night stay. At check-in I told the lady behind the counter that I might be staying only one night. After the first night there was no way I was spending another night.... More

The hotel was renovated for over 3 million dollars a number of years ago and then sold at auction for under $250000. The renovation was fantastic but there is nothing to do in the town. The signs on I70 talk about the Opera House and Museum, it burned in Nov 2009, the largest Czech egg, it is still all white.... More

Always clean, comfortable and best of all cozy. The history and the building speaks volumes of a time we would all like to visit. If you appreciate an honest accommodation that takes the details of the past and makes it comfortable for today's traveler, you will find this historic hotel a jewel on the plains of central Kansas.

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
An historic hotel with modern amenities. Welcome to the wonderful Midland Railroad Hotel. You will find it a delightful blend of historic charm and modern convenience--a place welcoming weary travelers and comfort seekers for over 100 years. When the Midland Railroad Hotel was built in 1899, it was the most magnificent facility in the Midwest, with 28 wonderfully appointed rooms. The Midland Railroad Hotel continues that tradition today, with every room completed renovated and restored back to its original glory, complete with tasteful decor and mission style furnishings. The Midland Railroad Hotel is on the National Register of Historic Places and has won the Kansas Preservation Award for the careful attention given to detail while restoring the facility back to its original state. The trains that once took travelers to the historic hotel are still in operation, with railroad cars passing through this community several times each day--making for an even more memorable experience as you step back into time. ... more   less
