Midland Railroad Hotel & Restaurant

Quaint historic hotel, so rooms are small, but clean. They have all the necessities. We were there for a wedding at Wilson Lake, so did not use the restaurant. Breakfast was offered in a separate area; nice, with lots of sweet rolls, biscuits & gravy, cereal, meat & cheese. There was a sitting room for gathering, games, interesting pictures, & seating for about 8. Staff were friendly & very accommodating. Wilson is an interesting small town.

Small rooms, but very clean and charming! The food and drinks are affordable and very good. The grounds are whimsical and well-kept. Fun to let your imagination go wild, and think about all the ghosts that might live there! We were in town for the roots and blues festival, and had a fabulous time, thank you so much! The whole town is walkable, with so much to see! We will be back! -Molly & Jim Manternach

I stayed here years ago and recently went back for a trip with my own family! Such a unique historic hotel! The staff is great, the breakfast was delicious and they have a top notch instant coffee/espresso machine. The room was a little small but adequate for what we needed (king bed and futon in one room) We ate at The Barn BBQ spot right next to the hotel and it was good! It’s fun that they had chickens in the backyard! We never heard any chickens from the hotel so we were surprised when we saw their pen out back! They have beautiful flower and herb gardens in the backyard and lots of space for outdoor seating! Love this hotel and we will be back!

This hotel was one of the highlights of my recent Midwest trip! Super creepy and absolutely haunted.... but in the best ways! The decor is all antique, and it felt like stepping back in time. They definitely understate the "feel" of the place - meaning they didn't play up the spookiness or make it kitchy - although there was definitely a presence. Gunnar was a superstar! The restaurant was great and. The breakfast buffet was perfect - pronabably the best coffee on this trip. I absolutely recommend and would love to stay here again if I'm ever in Wilson - the Czech Capital of Kansas.

We ate dinner at this business on a Tuesday night while passing through town. We had meatloaf and fish and chips. Everything tasted great and was reasonably priced. We sat on their dog-friendly patio. The only thing I could complain about is the flies that gathered on our food and bit my ankles - eat inside if possible. Otherwise highly recommend.

Follow the scenic byways of Kansas and you will uncover gems like Wilson Kansas and the historic Midland Hotel. Take a step back to the 1890's and walk the streets back in time. Centered in an area with lots to see and experience the hotel is a great stopping point. Great food and cozy dining with friendly people makes the hotel a great experience in rural Kansas.

I love rural places and this was top notch. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced at the Sample Room in the basement. Our room was on the top southeast corner, very comfortable and cozy and resembled it's era well. Although we were close to the elevator, it was very quiet and relaxing.

I went on a road trip to National Parks in the Northwest and stayed in 4 locations. Wilson KS. at the Midland Railroad Hotel, my last stop on my way home was by far the best. The staff almost literally tripped over each other to be of service to us. The Hotel and room was even better than the pictures made it look. The food was amazing and prices were affordable. This is a great old hotel in near mint condition full of interesting history. The types of amenities I had hoped for in the other 3 hotels but didn't get existed in this place. I actually would recommend it to others and will come back someday. My only negative comment would be that I wish the breakfast included went past 9:00 am because my watch was still on mountain time and I was 30 minutes late, so no breakfast.

Very nice old hotel original foundation was from 1899. The 3rd floor corner room was small but we enjoyed it, it was quiet and the decor was cool to see.

Thr restaurant in basement had amazing great food, we had the salmon and Ribeye Steak. They have a nice bar they even has Buffalo Trace Bourbon.

There was breakfast that had Biscuits and Gravy along with fruit, cereal and coffee. We enjoyed our 1 night stay and will go back again just to escape the city life.

The staff was very friendly and helpful.

This is a very unique destination hotel. We saw a 1 star review and had some reservations. But trust all the 5 stars. The ones that know, know. When traveling to historical building you are not at a Marriott.
Bottom line great unique destination hotel to put on your list when traveling through Kansas. Especially if you are interested in the history of immigrants coming to the US in late 1800s and early 1900s.
Shrimp tacos were 9/10. Not 10/10 because dirty rice and beans could have had more moisture and spices.

Some historic hotels in small towns coast on their history even as the place is falling apart. Not here. Midland Hotel offers great service, amenities, even an elevator. It's clear that the owners have put care not only into preserving the place, but also into offering a great and modern experience for patrons. The hotel has only one room with multiple beds, and it's worth the extra expense if you're traveling with friends.

The Wilson Railroad Hotel & Restaurant is a great place to stay. It is one mile south of I70 in a quaint western Kansas town. The hotel dates back to the 1890s in heritage, but is modern in its amenities.

One caution, though. If your stay includes a Monday night, either eat dinner before you arrive or plan on grabbing food at the local grocery store (until 8pm) as the hotel restaurant is closed on Mondays.

This motel knocked it out the park. Very clean, and cute rooms. The restaurant should be 5 star. Mind blowing delicious food. They had a live bluegrass band that set the mood for the whole night on the back patio. Definitely be goin back.

This is an excellent hotel. The staff are friendly, the rooms are comfortable and clean, the food is great, and you will get an interesting experience with it being a historical hotel all for an affordable price. They make you feel like family!

Great food, great service! Loved this place, so much history and its very clean. Rooms were spacious and clean. Highly recommend. Leslie at the front desk was so pleasant and our waiter Hunter was fantastic. Hard to find all these things these days.

Food was sooo good. Staff was awesome. They have collected so much amazing art, and each space offers a different vibe. Definitely coming back to play and stay here next summer!

We absolutely loved our stay in Wilson Kansas. This is a town with a lot of special charm and worthwhile stops. Great antique/vintage shopping. A few great food options, the food at the hotel itself is great.
They have some dog friendly rooms and it was a great place to go with out dogs!!
This hotel is definitely not your typical hotel style as it is a historical building, but if you like hidden gems and unique places to stay, then it's really worth checking This place out

We visited Wilson for the Paper Moon 50th Anniversary celebration and had a fantastic time! While maybe busier than usual, staff was very kind, patient, and accommodating. The downstairs parlor, dining room, and individual rooms are beautiful, very clean, and keep their historic character. The chicken fried steak at the hotel's restaurant was very good! And they had a good spread for continental breakfast in the morning with homemade kolaches. A lovely stay, and we'll definitely be back next time we're in the area!

We love staying here on our cross country treks- it’s full of history, we’ve always had excellent service, and love that it’s both pet and kid friendly.

Great whiskey spread down in the basement bar. Staff are nice and considerate. They know a lot about the local Kansas culture. Melinda the owner is the typical hard working entrepreneur. Attentive and open to ideas. The housekeepers keep the room nice and clean. Thanks Karen! The cooks and bartenders are friendly. I hear it all the time that Kansas has nothing... But it it has a lot... A sense of Community, beautiful sunsets, clear night skys. I'd love to go back and visit.
