Hotel Marceline

We knew this was a renovated motel, so our expectations weren't high as there's only so much that can be done to size/layout of older motel rooms. We stayed in room 14 which had a king-sized bed, small refrigerator, microwave, and television. We never turned on the TV nor used the microwave, but the refrigerator was on and cold when we got there (so many times when you check into a hotel, you have to figure out how to turn the refrigerator on). The A/C is across the room and worked pretty well although it doesn't do anything to remove humidity. We did notice some "damp rid" things around the room to help address that, and we found that leaving the door to the room partially open during the day while we were there not only helped the room feel fresher, it also provided better lighting inside. The bathroom was the real winner for this place. The toilet was "comfort height" and they provide quality toilet paper! They provide ample shampoo, conditioner, and bar soap - none of that Fort-Knox-locked body wash and shampoo dispensers on the shower wall business that so many chains have gone to. The shower head was removable to be hand-held with adjustable shower stream. The towels were plush. And no sign of mildew or anything. Each room has chairs that sit outside the door on the porch which was nice for sitting out in the cool evening. There's no ice machine, but you can get ice from the motel clerk when they are there. If you're a big Disney fan and want to stay somewhere that has some theming, and you want to stay in Marceline, this place would work. It's not really walkable to downtown as there aren't sidewalks, but there is plenty of parking so that's not an issue. There's a gas/convenience store across the street and a DG/Market across the main road.

The service at the hotel was amazing. Mike was quick to answer and very friendly. He was empathetic to my situation and was very reassuring that Hotel Marceline would accommodate my pets as they advertised. Everyone I dealt with at the hotel was friendly and helpful.

Friendly staff thank appreciated my stay.

Good place to stay for the weekend as we had a family event in Marceline. We were happy we got the large Wilderness Room as a gathering place for everyone. The floor in the room could use a deep cleaning, as it was pretty dirty and blackened our socks. And the exterior needs some paint badly on the decks. But all in all, it was a great stay!

This is a nice place to stay for the price. I loved the vintage Disney decor and it has a nice location. It has a microwave and a fridge ( although ours had been unplugged and had water due to freezer dethawing) No coffee in the room but you are close to a gas station to get coffee or snacks.

It is a nice hotel, well kept from the older days and themed with Disney scenes as it is the Boy Hood home of Walt Disney

The room was the issue: the room had a damp smell the permeated all of our belongings. Any items left on the floor overnight were damp in the morning. The door into the room which has direct access from outside has a gaping slit where door seal should be. When checking out in the am no one was in the office to bring these concerns to someone’s attention.

After some trouble due to the owner in New York overbooking the motel, and wanting us to have a room with two twin beds, instead of a king size bed room that we had reserved and paid for. The lady that works at the motel is the clerk and maid is really efficient and friendly. The experience seem to be a negative she made it a positive. We would stay there again.

Returned after last year and am planning to make it a yearly tradition! The hotel changed a bit though. Suites were built but the only access is through the front office. There is a key pad to enter a passcode to enter. While we were sitting outside, we noticed a female that forgot the code and she contacted her party to get in. I can understand a lost key that goes straight to your room or through a secure lobby. But allowing guests to enter through the main office with no staff there is scarey for the front office as well as the other guests. Plus the suites don't have a convenient exit in case of a fire or any other natural event/disaster.

Clean and smelled good. Outdated, but very functional. Had shampoo and conditioner and soap provided. Plastic cups provided and microwave and fridge. Good location and price. Hotel staff were pleasant and helpful with check-in.
