Valentine's Day stay? Charming historic hotel?…read more Personal welcome from the owner? We stayed at The Courtland Hotel & Spa in Fort Scott, KS on February 14th, 2026, and from the moment we walked in, Frank made us feel like guests -- not just customers. He greeted us personally and gave us what he called the "nickel tour," walking us through the property and sharing its story. That personal touch set the tone for the entire visit. We stayed in Room 15 (King bed), and the extra space made the stay especially comfortable for the two of us. Clean, cozy, and perfect for a one-night getaway. We didn't get to experience the spa or additional amenities this time, but if the hospitality is any indication, we'd happily return. If you're in Fort Scott and want something with character and genuine service, this is a great choice.

The air didn't work and the room smelled funny but we were exhausted so we stayed. Then 2 days after check out I found an additional $250 charge on my card. When I called to inquire the man that answered could barely speak English and kept saying we smoked in the room and that's why we were charged. However WE DID NOT WHATSOEVER SMOKE IN THE ROOM! I told him this and he called me a liar. This is a total scam. I am disputing the charge with my credit card company but want to earn everyone else about this horrible place and their fraudulent business practices. BEWARE!

The massages we got were also wonderful. Food- 5/5 all of the food was delicious and freshly made. The morning baked goods were my favorite. Room-4/5 the Bali Hai room was comfortable and pretty quiet. The only thing we noticed was a musty mildew smell in the room. Maybe from the air conditioner? Property- 5/5- views are amazing. They have a heated pool, hot tub, sauna, and fire pit as well. Overall we had a lovely time and would return again. It's an easy one hour drive from KC. It would also be fun to rent the entire property for a family reunion or weekend with friends.

I can't say "splurged" because it cost little more than an average hotel room, and the cooked-to-order homemade breakfast was much better than you'd find in a hotel. Sherri and Jeff are incredibly gracious and intuitive hosts: there when you need them, but otherwise, they let you be. The porch alone of this rambling abode is larger than some San Francisco apartments, and every window of my room looked out upon lush greenery. I slept well in the big bed and thoroughly enjoyed the historic feel of the Himmel House. Couples will love this B & B, and business travelers take heed: a place like this is a welcome break from hotel life. You won't regret staying here.

I would only call during normal hours. Even texted her husband after my call. No response. As a regular and frequent guest I was totally offended. New nightly rates are too high and past hunters are finding better and more reasonable alternatives. Very few waterfowl hunters stayed there this year. Lot was almost empty opening week and throughout the 90 day season. Was a great place to have an extended stay for hunting. But no longer. Vrbo and aidbnb are much better options for longer stays.
