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.

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.

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.

The inn was very pretty and the room was beautiful. The only complaint would be that the bed was noisy and uncomfortable. It seemed smaller than a queen. Also, we needed more pillows than two for two people.

Great hotel in Ft. Madison
We loved our stay at the Kingsley Inn! It's a very unique property, located in a historic building with old touches, eclectic elements and modern conveniences. Our room had views of the river, was exceptionally clean, large and well stocked.
