Pros:

The room was clean. All the outlets worked and the shower is nice. There are several nice restaurants in a walkable distance. I'd suggest letting the staff know if you will be arriving past 5pm. Check in and check out was very simple. I did not get to sample the breakfast as I was out before it even started.

Small town feel, felt safe walking around at all times of the day. Was in town for a wedding and the location was perfect. AC worked great and beds were comfortable.

Clean, cozy, comfortable
Pros:

We loved our stay William Watson. The building is steeped in history and our room was very cozy with exposed brick walls and antique furniture. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay but please be aware that there is no elevator. We were on the third floor and had to haul our suitcases up the very narrow staircase. It was not a problem for us but certainly could be for some.

Great for couples & men
Pros:

The front desk was incredibly accommodating, we needed to switch rooms and she helped with my kiddo so I could move parking. The cafe is NOT handicapped accessible and that’s where you check in- if you have a cane you might be alright- a chair forgettaboutit & stop in Hannibal or Jacksonville. I don’t know that I would choose to stay here again, the staff is amazing, but there was little sound proofing to the rooms, as a single mom not having a deadbolt or safety chain made it difficult to not jump awake at every noise. There is not an elevator or luggage cart- so if you’re traveling heavy it can be cumbersome if your room is on the 2nd floor.

Pros:

Air conditioning unit was right over the head of the bed-felt like I was catching a cold every morning when I woke up. Had to leave it on constantly cause humidity was so high and no windows in the room. Bathroom faucet was clogged so it took a long time to drain. It said breakfast on their website, but it amounted to snacks. False advertising. Was not a good visit at all and will never stay there again
