My riding buddies and I rode from Booneville to Sedalia on a very wet and grimmy Katy trail. It had rained for three days strait and needless to say the trail was soggy. We had decided not the tent camp but stay in a local hotel. We were told the Hotel Bothwell in Sedalia was very accomadating to Katy Trail riders. Our experience there was WONDERFUL!!! We were reluctant to bring our grimy bikes and gear into such a historic and clean hotel. The staff said over and over not to worry. We were allowed to bring our bikes into the room grime and all. We tried our best to keep things clean but even the cleaning crew said not to worry. We were also given a nice discount because were were Katy Trail riders. I highly recommend staying there if tenting becomes unpleasant. (The local brew pup just a block away was fantastic!)

I too have stayed in the Bothwell while biking the KATY and had the same experience. I HIGHLY reccommend it !!!!

It's certainly a trip back in time. And the on-site massages there are excellent (it's best to book in advance, however). Pretty soon, there will be another massage place across the street, apparently.

I have stayed at the Bothwell 3 times during bike trips and have had a good experience each and every time. You even get a Katy trail discount. They have always been very accomidating to bikers and don't even charge extra to take your bike to the room which is a big plus (and like JME said, they don't even snarl at you when your bike is wet/dirty).

Yeah, I have nothing but good things to say about the Hotel Bothwell.
