EC Reed's Mercantile and Hotel, Marble Hill

Such a wonderful stay -...

Liked: The location was perfect for where I was travelling that day. Very quiet small town and I enjoyed exploring the area on foot. The Hotel is a repurposed older building that has been extensively updated and it was very tastefully decorated by the owners. I had not expected to find a spot so beautifully done when I booked this. I loved the small town atmosphere also!

The Hidden Gem of Marble...

Liked: I stayed three nights over Labor Day weekend. This hotel and mercantile is a hidden gem! Check-in begins at 3pm. The rooms are quaint and comfortable. The owners and family running the business are fantastic and genuinely asked if I was enjoying my stay. I felt like part of the family before I left!.I went to their soda shop and luncheonette in the mercantile with a good friend and her three children late on Sunday before they closed. We had an amazing lunch and ice cream afterward and did a little shopping in the mercantile. We were served ice cream by Mr. Everett Reed, the fantastic owner.I can't say enough great things about this business. They've taken older antique items and have successfully mixed it with a "new feel."Highly, highly recommend!! This is a family run business, so the hours of the mercantile and soda shop are from 6:30am - 2pm daily. Don't miss out visiting if you're near Marble Hill, MO.
Disliked: The hours for the mercantile and soda shop from 6:30 am to 2 pm were a little bit of a challenge for us. But, it's understandable being located in a small community. On Friday, when I was checking in, I saw quite a few people try opening the "locked" door at the mercantile between 2:45 pm - 3:00 pm. I fear they may be losing some business, and we need more places like this!!

Exceptional

EVERY single person I encountered...

Liked: I liked it all. From the moment I booked I spoke with Kristy and she was wonderful until the minute I checked out. Cute little morning breakfast nook in the hotel. Beautiful gift shop and the best homemade cherry coke I've ever had! Never heard of this town before this stay but we will definitely take a ride back and stay again. Also Wooplwill Lake (5 miles from the mercantile) Is a FUN lake for all ages.

Very cute boutique hotel and...

Liked: Very nice looking boutique hotel. Remodeled and very clean. Staff was very friendly.

Very quaint place made us...

Liked: Very responsive staff, especially the owner. Christy took care of everything we asked about. We ate breakfast 2 times and both meals were excellent in quality, fair price, and good service.
Disliked: The strike plate on the door to our room made it almost impossible to lock the door. We reported it to the manager and they made a note to get it repaired.
