Globe Hotel Bed & Breakfast (Hartsburg)

Our group stayed with Jeanette in July 2008 and very much enjoyed our time with her. The local restaurant was closed for the day when we arrived, so we enjoyed pizza and beer with Jeanette at the local tavern. The Globe is an old hotel and is a work in progress. Jeanette has done a great job with it. The rooms are clean, well decorated, and having a sink in the room was helpful. Breakfast was delightfully substantial.

I rode the Katy Trail in late May 2008 and stayed at the "Globe". The accommodations were very nice. After a long day on the trail I was glad she had a room for me. I don't think I could have biked another mile... The breakfast and the comraderie with the other bikers that were there was also a plus. No complaints here about the "Globe".. Next time I do the trail I will make a point to stay there.

The next day I rode to Marthasville. Evening was rapidly descending all around me and I was just about out of energy. The B & B there right off the trail for some reason wouldn't accomodate any one that night which I was totally unprepared for. I biked to Dutzow and talked to the people at the restaurant right off the trail about any local lodging-my only option appeared to be Washington... By now it was totally dark and there was no way I could bike across that bridge so far and so late. The lady and I think the evening manager at the restaurant was very understanding to my plight and drove me the 10 miles out of her way to Washington to the "Sleep Inn". I was very thankful for her being there when I needed her. If not for her I am not sure what I would have done.. Later on that night, the real owner of that B & B in Marthasville called and left a message on my cell to come back, but I was just fine at the Sleep Inn. The next morning I crossed that bridge at Washington and that is no picnic to cross, but you don't want to dilly dally. My thanks to Jeanette @ the Globe and the lady/manager at that Dutzow restaurant.
