How close is Hampton Inn from Sedalia train station?
Coming in at 7:30 in the evening. Will a bus or Uver take us to the Hampton? Thx!

Three miles or so on the west side of town.

The Hotel Bothwell is just a few blocks (5-6) away and is bike friendly. A better option perhaps.

Sedalia roads are not very bike friendly and the more west you go the more unfriendly they become.

You can get from the train station to the west side of town by using Main street. It will keep you off of Broadway/Hwy50. At some point you will need to cross Broadway to get to Hampton Inn. I would use Winchester Dr, go to the light to cross Broadway then turn right on to Leroy Vandyke Ave and the Hampton is just up a short ways on the left. That's a little less busier way, but no really shoulder.

I agree with the Hotel Bothwell being a great option. Not only is it close to the Amtrak station, it's also only about a mile from the Katy Trail. It's a classic hotel and friendly to bicycles.

If you plan on getting a hotel in Boonville, I recommend the Frederick. It's right on the Katy Trai and also friendly to cyclists.

Just wanted to agree with the previous two suggestions of Hotel Bothwell in Sedalia and Fredrick Hotel in Boonville. Both these may be a little more expensive than one would want but the experience is completely worth every penny. They are convenient, clean, bike-friendly, historic, and just down right a fun experience. And the experiences in the small towns along the way make the Katy Trail adventure more than just the bike ride.
