I'm puzzled as to the "two-star hotel" rating on here. The room I'm staying in is FAR nicer than any of the other hotels I've stayed at locally and they are all "three stars" or more.
About the Manor: The rooms are beautiful - clean and spacious and comfortable The Manor is also beautiful, inside and out The owners are incredibly invested in their guests having a great experience and have gone out of their way to make every one of my stays pleasant and convenient.
I haven't tried the breakfast (not a breakfast eater) but I've not heard any complaints from other guests.
The overall experience is one of lived-in comfort and elegance. Instead of staying in a bland, cookie-cutter hotel room, I get the opportunity to relax in a stately, well-cared for historic mansion (something I'll never be able to afford to purchase). There is a beautiful porch on both the first and second floors, where one an sit and enjoy the sunset or the view of the capitol or, in cold-weather, you can relax in front of a fire in the parlor.
I'm so glad I found Cliff Manor Inn and I look forward to staying there every time i...
Read moreOur recent stay at Victoria's Place was exceptional.||||It was a great home. We lodged in the suites and really enjoyed the temporary luxury after putting on a lot of miles on the Katy Trail. The view of the river is fantastic.||||And the meals were out of this world. My recollection is that my wife said "best breakfast ever" after downing a NOLA-inspired spread.||||More striking was Victoria's generosity. We had hastily arranged the Katy Trail trip on Thanksgiving week and it just so happened that we landed in Jefferson City on Thanksgiving Day. I had relayed to Victoria my slight anxiety at finding some food when everything was likely closed up. Thinking she may know a local place or two that may be open. But she had celebrated Thanksgiving earlier in the week and was eager to share a meal with us and a few of her friends. It was a great evening with amazing food and conversation.||||We...
Read moreDecided to give Victoria's Place by the River a try when the thought of another night in a motel sent my spirits falling. Easy to find. Right by the river. Very clean and bright -- it was the smartest thing I've done in a while. I was welcomed at the door and the welcome never stopped. I had a room with the shared bath, which worked fine for me, but the suites also looked marvelous too. Each night I could walk into town for a good meal and each morning started the day with a great breakfast prepared to meet my schedule. Warm hostess. A brandy (or wine) to end the day. The richness of knowing you are in an historic home. I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else in Jefferson City. ||I didn't do the Katy Trail, but think it would be ideal for those making that trip. ||I can't say...
