What guests think

Hotel Marceline is an old-school roadside motel with simple, mostly clean rooms and convenient parking, praised by many for friendly service and a quiet, handy location near town conveniences, offering good value for short, no-frills stays.

Rooms are small and dated but functional, with frequent mentions of comfortable beds and in-room fridges/microwaves, alongside drawbacks like limited storage, few outlets by the bed, and occasionally unreliable Wi-Fi. Service is often warm, yet staffing can be inconsistent after hours, leading to waits or unreachable check-in, and several guests noted inaccuracies such as no on-site pool despite listings and limited ice availability. Expect a straightforward, budget-friendly stay that works best if you’re comfortable with motel-style basics and limited on-site amenities.

Nice stay. Twin room should updated a little more. Description says pool, there is NOT a pool.

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.

Beds were nice. The property did not match what we had seen at booking. We thought it was supposed to have laundry facilities, two bathrooms and a pull out bed but those were not provided. Overall it was a nice place to stay and very comfortable.

This is NOT a hotel. It is a motel. The rooms are very dark. No ice machine. You had to get it from the front desk which is NOT open 24/7. No coffeemaker. It does have a microwave and mini-fridge. No closet. Don’t stay here on a Monday. The whole town is closed on Mondays. Only one restaurant was open and it was forgettable. I definitely would NOT stay here again.

Given ive from cubes made in ice trays. Very little ice available. Wanted a larger room none apparently available. Clerk rarely at site. Old car in our parking space & never moved. Very small room. Old key style; motel old & in need of renovation. No water offered & clerk told me I couldn’t use the pool as it as advertised. Learned this was wrong so I missed out on swimming! Pool was public type & open. Won’t stay there again! Not worth $$ charged.

While the hotel is very old school, they are gradually updating it. It’s nice having a fridge and microwave and a flatscreen tv. However, the window shade was a bit old, as is the bathroom, but it was a comfortable room with easy access to the parking.

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.

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 very convenient location, for my purposes. It is very old school motel, but I don’t need more in Marceline. The room was clean and had a fridge/microwave. There’s no closet nor hangers. However, upon opening the door, it was humid inside and smelled of mildew. The room cooling was on the wrong setting, creating the dampness and smell. Once it was changed to “Dry” and a much cooler temp setting, all cleared up. Yes, I would stay here, again.

The deadbolts on the doors don’t work, so you only have a tiny handle lock, so I didn’t feel safe- easy for someone to get into the rooms. The room was sticky and humid, it had a clean look to it but didn’t feel clean.

First of all, the word 'hotel' implies indoor hallways to all rooms. This property is a 'motel' with only outdoor access to rooms. However, it was still nice. The three issues I had, were the slick tub without a bath mat, no floor towel for stepping out of the tub, and thenearest oulet formy CPap machine was across the room from the bed!

Overall stay was great. Did have an issue with the wifi signal in our room they did put in a booster which fixed it but it too them 2 days to do that so we had to go down to the paring lot for 2 days to get a signal on our devices. Other than that the stay was great. Room were quiet and close to everything.

We were going to be late checking in. The lady i talked to was very friendly and did not have a problem with us arriving late. The room was small, but very clean and comfortable. It was reminiscent of the first 'motels' back in the 30's, which was super fun and nostalgic. My husband said the train woke him up, but i slept very soundly.

The first guy that checked us in was great…undertrained but super nice and accomadating. We decided to stay an extra night and booked on hotels.com again so when we went to re-check in the next day the guy at the front desk was HORRIBLE, mean, dirty AND while I was at the gas station went into our room without knocking. My husband was in the bathtub with the door shut and without knocking the man walked into the bathroom. This made my husband uneasy as he felt the man as hoping it was me in there. We spoke with hotels.com reps(who were WONDERFUL and patient) and because of the situations they so kindly moved us to another hotel and paid the difference!

Wasn’t able to stay. The booking lists a 24 hour front desk. When we arrived shortly after 11PM the office was closed but had a sign for a 24h line, which we spent 30 mins calling with no answer. Having been on the road for the previous 20 hours, in the interest of safety drove to a nearby hotel and booked a room. They have still not released a refund for the stay and are avoidant of all communication. Simply unprofessional.

We stayed at Hotel Marceline over a long holiday weekend to celebrate a birthday and our annual trip to honor the legacy of the Disney family and Walt Disney. The hotel provided the perfect base for exploring Marceline, the hometown that inspired so much of Walt’s vision. The town's charm, the Disney history, and the hotel’s location made this trip unforgettable. The room was comfortable, clean, and had a cozy, welcoming feel that matched the spirit of Marceline. The staff was friendly and made sure everything was seamless for our celebration. We also appreciated that it’s just a quick two-hour drive from Kansas City, so we felt like we had a weekend escape that was easy to get to. Highly recommend Hotel Marceline to anyone wanting to explore the roots of Walt Disney or just looking for a quiet, nostalgic getaway.

The hotel reached out to me to ensure they were available during my arrival and the staffer was welcoming and chatty. The room was clean and cozy and the hotel is in a quiet place, but not isolated. I was quite cold in the room, and when I put the heat, it set off the alarm. It is a clean and conveniently-located place.
