The Kingsley Inn is charming and elegant. An employee was available even late at night to reach by text. Many rooms have a view of the river and the trains that pass by. The trains did not bother us while we were sleeping, but the hotel does provide a noisemaker and ear plugs.

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.

I came here on the Amtrak Southwest Chief and spent the weekend in Fort Madison mainly to watch the trains but to also enjoy the Mississippi River. It is an older building but nicely restored and the rooms are modern and classic at the same time. Since the hotel is geared towards railfans (there's a railcam overlooking the BNSF lines) the internet was more than adequate plus the free breakfast a big plus. A few restaurants are within walking distance along with the riverfront and the Santa Fe depot

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.

Great Place
We had a wonderful stay in the historic building from the 1860s. The room was large, with high ceilings. Breakfast was excellent, and the breakfast room was beautiful.

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.

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.
