Love It !

10.0

We just love this Place and the Staff. This was our 6th Stay over the last several years and a must visit if in Boonville. We make two to three trips a year for visits to Warm Springs Ranch(Budweiser Clydesdale Breeding Facility) traveling from Kentucky. We feel like we are part of "the Fred" family. Have never been disappointed in any way. Holly and Staff always take great care of us and we love every little detail that's been put into the Hotel, Bar, Restaurant, and Speakeasy in the basement. Just a perfect mix of History and updates. They continue to develop and fine tune the amenities, the Live music on the weekends in the beautiful Brick Room Rathskeller Bar, the coffee bar for Breakfast, the new antique and boutique off the lobby. The Restaurant has a nice offering and menu, and our favorite place to spend our time is the small, intimate bar off the lobby, "The Fred", great craft cocktails and offerings, the best Martini West of the Mississippi, Thanks "Gracie". Look forward to our next visit and we thank everyone for their hospitality.

A HIDDEN GEM FOR MIZZOU PARENTS: Hotel Frederick

10.0

If you're a Mizzou parent struggling to find reasonably priced accommodations in Columbia during football weekends, consider staying at The Fred in nearby Boonville. I recently stayed there for Dad’s Weekend and couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience. On our first night, my son joined us for dinner at the hotel’s excellent restaurant. Afterward, we drove back to Columbia for the evening’s activities. Upon returning, I made sure to check out the speakeasy in the basement—an absolute highlight with its cozy vibe and live music. The next morning, my wife and I strolled along Main Street, enjoying the charm of locally owned shops. We even had the pleasure of meeting Holly, the owner of Hotel Frederick. She previously managed the hotel for years before purchasing it to run as a family business. Her passion for the property is evident in every detail. The rooms are uniquely styled with 1920s flair, thoughtfully updated with modern touches. If you're expecting the luxury of the Waldorf Astoria or the Broadmoor, this may not be the place for you. But if you’re looking for a memorable, character-filled stay with: * A great restaurant and bar on the main floor * A speakeasy with live music on weekends * An antique store right inside the hotel * A classic town diner next door * And the friendliest staff around …then The Fred is your spot. Hotel Frederick is now my go-to place when visiting my son at M-I-Z-Z-O-U! Caveat - If you need perfect conditions for sleep, please bring ear plugs and a sleep mask. Personally, I need some low level noise to sleep, and I am up before the sun. If you are the opposite, the single pain windows and wood blinds do not create silent black out conditions.

Disgustingly dirty room

4.0

The biggest issue: our room was disgustingly dirty. Have a look at the photo from the shower. The whole shower was like that with a thick layer of slime mold in each corner. Had not been scrubbed properly for weeks, maybe months. Made the mistake of trying to open a window. As I moved the blinds, which were broken and did not open properly, dust and dirt flew up everywhere from the windowsill and the blinds. The people at the front desk are dressed very casually. The man who checked us in was helpful but the woman who checked us out couldn't have cared less if we lived or died. No one asked how our stay was or I would have talked to them about the cleanliness of the room. Since they didn't bother (and did not follow up with an email request, either) I decided to post this review. The room was large and comfortable although it could have used a couple of more tables (only one bedside table was present). The dinner we had in the restaurant was very good (although the cleanliness of the room made me worry about the sanitation in the kitchen). Would not stay again.

Loved the character of the building, antiques, and proximity to shops. The A/C was working well on a very hot day. But the water pressure was really low at sink and for the shower.

Great bike trip stop over

It was awesome to have a locked and secure room for our bikes.
