Historic Elgin Hotel

R Mann

Do you ever find yourself, especially in recent years of cutbacks in staff and service, visiting a hotel or inn and looking for problems, assuming that they'll just be there? Good luck searching at the Historic Elgin Hotel. I rarely say this, but, everything is perfect. Beautiful historic building. Great hosts. Seamless booking, entry and follow-up. No bill surprises. Highest quality beds, linens, etc. Shining tub and faucets. Incredible architecture with seating areas on each floor, a wrap-around veranda, kitchen on each floor, libraries ... You get the point. The hotel has a very good and accurate website, so I don't need to go into too much detail. But I implore you to visit rural Kansas, the beautiful Flint Hills, smalls towns, lakes, Emporia, Wichita, and make this hotel your base. I have no connection to this hotel except that I've stayed there twice in the last few months and it is incredible.

Gorgeous historic hotel that has been lovingly restored and maintained. Each room is unique and attention to detail and decor is evident as you tour the hotel. I LOVE that unoccupied rooms are left open so you can tour them! Common areas in each floor such as kitchen, dining, library, ballroom and even a game room (just feet from main hotel) make guest comfort that much more accessible. There is a lovely bar/restaurant on site. We dis not have dinner but the included breakfast was fantastic! We had cocktails in the bar that were well prepared and the bar/restaurant staff were amazing! In fact, ALL the staff here are amazing! The Elgin truly cares that you have a comfortable and quality stay. This was our first visit to Marion, KS and the Elgin and we are already planning for a return visit soon. You will not regret staying at the beautiful historic hotel!

Definitely recommend!! We have booked a lot of historic hotels and this one was the best out of them all! Very clean and beautiful. You will enjoy the peaceful town and the history it offers. Don’t think twice, go ahead and book a room 😃.

We don't have enough "paper" to write all the reasons why the Historic Elgin is amazing. First, we were welcomed by Jeff, who knew every detail of our reservation (we had added on a package). He was very friendly and attentive. We stayed in th Flint Hills Suite with the large jacuzzi tub that had lights that changed colors. That tub was so awesome, all we could talk about was how to redesign our home tub and shower to have the same one! For our package, a chilled bottle of champagne and cheese platter awaited us in addition to snacks and chocolates! Jeff was very attentive by text for any questions or other needs we had. He made us reservations at Parlour 1886 and the drinks and food were too notch! The bartender was great, she is a rare gem! Our servers were all friendly and very prompt. We also had breakfast which was out of this world! Just overall top notch service and attentiveness. My husband wants this to be minimum of an annual trip for us! Jeremy and Tammy have done a great job with this hotel, truly will be letting the word out to the masses!
