Hotel Frederick

The wife and I went to a football game in Columbia and were wanting a night away from the kiddos. I found this hotel on google and thought it was just our style/speed. We absolutely loved our stay. I love the blend of historic/old aesthetic and newer amenities (bathroom renovations, etc.). We stayed in room #12. Room #12 would be a great room if we bring the kiddos back some day (as it has an the extra bed). Loved the lounge/bar on main floor, the restaurant, and the bar in the basement. We made us of all three during our stay. The night of our stay karaoke night was being hosted the the basement bar. It was a fun way to end the evening. Really loved our stay. I imagine we will be returning someday. My camera does not do the hotel justice (phone camera lens is cracked). If you are used to $500/night stays at a Ritzy hotel, this might not be the place for you. However, if you like things that are more unique and have character I recommend giving this hotel a try. Really loved the small town experience.

What a great step back in time, but with all the modern conveniences. Quiet, comfy bed, good service. The bathroom was tiny, (just pretend you're in Europe). There is also a bar and restaurant which I didn't go to. Loved the ambiance. Light breakfast was offered but i would recommend skipping it unless you are in a hurry. Don't pass this place up and spend time in Boonville checking out the historic buildings!

Great historical building to be able to stay in. The staff is one of the most friendliest staffs I’ve ever experienced while staying in a hotel. Nora and John are the absolute best! We ate in the restaurant and the hamburgers are AMAZING. They have a bar in the basement called Brickroom with live bands and a fun atmosphere. Don’t be surprised if you even see the owner serving you some cocktails.

I stayed for a single night mid-week while on a multi-day car trip. The Hotel Frederick is a nice change from the bland experience offered by chain hotels. It's an older building, built in a grand style, and you'll be greeted with an opulent lobby, all dark woodwork and stone. My room was on the third floor, accessible via a staircase or the elevator. My room was pleasantly quirky. The windows open, so I was able to enjoy the early summer air and turn off the a/c for the night. The bathroom was equipped with a rain-style shower head and was very comfortable for a tall person like me. The bed was comfortable, if a little low to the ground. The staff members I talked to were friendly and gracious. The person behind the desk the morning I checked out went out of his way to make sure I had everything I needed. I enjoyed the complementary continental breakfast while seated in the old leather chairs out in the lobby. Boonville is a charming, visually appealing town. If you're coming from the interstate, you'll get a chance to see it in detail, as the speed limits are very low (20 mph on Main Street). One of the advantages of a downtown hotel is usually a nice collection of restaurants to choose from. During my mid-week stay, nearly all of the downtown eateries were closed, including those in the hotel itself.
