Memory Lanes is a really reasonably priced place to go bowling. The parking lot is very spacious…read more The inside features multiple lanes, bar-styled seating to eat and watch bowlers, a concession stand, and a small arcade. Memory Lanes also has a party room which is big enough for a child's birthday party. I think the best part about Memory Lanes are their prices. It's really affordable to bowl and the food isn't that expensive and it's actually pretty good. On Wednesdays, they host a plethora of mentally handicapped bowlers. I think it's a great place because they support the community and they even have specials for kid's bowling. The reason why I'm giving Memory Lanes four stars s because the lanes become stuck sometimes. The second time it got stuck, it took almost 30 minutes to fix. Memory Lanes is clean, but not completely clean. Some of the arcade machines were a bit dusty and some areas looked like they needed to be vacuumed. Overall, it's a good place to go for a little fun. It's inexpensive and the food isn't that expensive.

Blue Bell Farm was absolutely amazing for our wedding. Jamie went above and beyond throughout our…read moreentire wedding experience. From our first meeting through the several that followed Jamie was there to give advice, recommendations, and support. She recommended and even reached and coordinated some of our vendors for us when things fell through. The property is stunning and provided everything we needed for our day in one place. It's close to accommodations for guests while still being secluded for the actual ceremony and reception. I really cannot recommend Jamie and her team any more & I cannot imagine getting married anywhere else!

I recently went to Alpine Park & Garden for a family wedding. The location is outside of Columbia,…read moreso, it is a bit of a drive. We pulled into an outdoor oasis!!! The property if covered in forestry, large trees and walking paths everywhere. They have a small pond with Koi fish that you can feed, a swing set for the kiddos, and lots of room to wander and explore. The ceremony is held outdoors on a beautiful area of the property with custom benches for the guests to sit on. They have an indoor/outdoor pavilion for the reception with a full bar area, dance floor, and a designated area for the DJ. We had a great time at Alpine Park and Garden, as I think the whole wedding party did!

Barry at Alpine Park and Gardens did an incredible job on our wedding on Oct 22, 2017. We live in…read moreColorado, so planning our wedding from afar was a big challenge. We were drawn to Alpine for the beautiful scenery and the all-inclusive nature of Barry's package. He enticed us with his promise of good down-home cooking and gorgeous jade plants, and he was willing to work with us to put together exactly what we were wanting. As a type-A person, I have to admit that Barry's laid-back attitude made me a little nervous, but he is a true professional and pulled it together seamlessly on the big day. He made it all appear effortless, but I know that the end product was the result of his 25 years of experience with weddings. The day was great from beginning to end. The bridal room was beautiful and included a lighted makeup station, private bar, and a giant mirror that was great for pictures. My bridesmaids all commented on how cute it was. Barry was flexible on setup, and by the time I arrived on site, the tables were dressed and everything looked beautiful. Barry's price per head on food was significantly lower than any Columbia caterer, and the brisket, turkey, and sides were seriously the best wedding food I have ever eaten. It actually rained on our wedding day, but we were able to find a window for the outdoor ceremony, and Barry kept everyone comfortable with space heaters and curtains in the pavilion. He put out a lovely coffee/hot chocolate bar and even soup and grilled cheese for a snack to keep everyone feeling toasty. We never even asked him to put out the soup -- he just did it. We had a couple of older family members at our wedding who can't sit for long periods of time in folding chairs, and Barry set out a recliner and rocking chair from his own home with blankets to keep them comfortable before and during the reception. The kids at our wedding had a blast running around the venue, and even the adults enjoyed feeding the fish in the koi pond. Everybody kept saying how unique and beautiful the park was. Justin, the DJ, was fun and easy, and it was a relief to have him take charge of the reception schedule so we could just enjoy. All in all, I can't even imagine how the day could have been better. I'm just so happy that we decided to have our wedding in the most beautiful place in Missouri.

My husband and I ate here Friday while we were in Moberly…read more Wnen we went in, the cafe was empty- I mentioned this fact and the waitress said she had been very busy and all the chicken was gone. So I asked "no chicken" she said she had to make some more up . So I ordered the Chicken Croissant sandwich and two glass of water. She delivered my chicken croissant sandwich which was suppose to have shredded chicken, which it did, celery, red grapes, sliced almonds and mayonnaise served on a croissant. FIRST: The sandwich had a good flavor - except it was just shredded chicken- there was only maybe 3 grapes (cut in half), No celery and No almonds and No mayo. I asked the waitress why there were no celery or almonds. or mayo. She went back into the kitchen and took out the container of shredded chicken put a glove on - thank you - and started digging down into the bottom of the container. I could see this from where I was sitting. I asked her where the celery was and she said it was under the chicken in the bottom of the container, well she didn't dump it into a bowl and mix it up like she should have she dumped mayo into the container and mixed it up in there AFTER I got my sandwich. Plus the pickle was wrapped in foil, pickles are acidic and they will deteriorate the foil and it will absorbed into the pickle, I didn't eat it. SECOND: My husband decided to eat after the fact so ordered the Bacon Tomato Grilled Cheese. Which was suppose to be: on sourdough bread (which it was two thin pieces) bacon, tomato, mayo, cheddar cheese, provolone, pepper jack and swiss. What is was, was sourdough bread grilled (it had strips on the bread) and Velveeta cheese, NO cheddar, NO provolone, NO pepper jack NO swiss and NO bacon, NO tomatoes. We were charged $9.85 for a skinny flat sandwich with VELVEETA cheese, (what happened to the $8.00 sandwiches??? - (maybe tax was $1.85 you can't tell because you can't get a recipe from Square) I think that was a little high but I could have lived with it if it had been made right. THIRD: I was over charged for my sandwich also, if the glasses of WATER were $2 each, the board said $8.00 for wraps and sandwiches, I was charged $14.36 for my sandwich plus two glasses of water. There was NO notice that you charged for water, it was NOT on the menu board! A glass of water $2.00 - WHAT!!! I would have brought my own water in from my car, or walked out if I would have seen it on your menu board. FOURTH: I had to ask the waitress twice for a receipt she finally ran in the back and came out with a handwritten one for $16.36 + $9.85. I questioned her about the prices and she got very defensive with me, raising her voice and telling me I was being disrespectful to her. I have been a waitress and I would NEVER be mean or nasty to a waitress, I know what they go through. So she was over reacting and should not be dealing with the public. I told her all I wanted was for her to explain the charge she charged me. She got so frustrated she said fine, I'll give you your money back for the water. She should have given us a nice discount because we didn't get the sandwiches we ordered. I kept asking her to explain, I said "there is no place on the board stating that you charge for water. I thought she charged me for fruit infused water - maybe I would have accepted that, but not plain water. She finally just got so out of control and said "fine I'll be the bigger person and walk away," still not explaining but she did in the fit of fury say that the drive thru was $8.00 and the inside price for a sandwich was $9.00 - there again, not being open and above board with anything. So that was $26.21 whatever the price was I gave her a 15% tip on top of it, but that is another problem with Square, you tip before you get the service, never again being charged for two wrong sandwiches, and two glasses of water. It was just a horrible experience. Needless to say we won't ever go back to your cafe again.

Stayed 1 night while relocating cross country…read more Pros: * Beautifully clean rooms. * Incredibly comfy bed with tons of pillows. * Lovely front desk staff. * I wasn't prepared (& frankly too tired after a very long day of driving in the rain), but they have an indoor pool & fitness center. Nice to see that some guests used them. * In-shower shampoo/conditioner & body lotion on wall next to sink. * M/W, fridge (although mine wasn't very cool & might need service), small coffee pot with a couple of coffees. * Breakfast from 6:30-9:30am on the weekend. It was very good... sausage links, egg patty, biscuits & gravy. Some cereal, waffle iron & a few carbs... bread, bagels. No fruit. Unsure if they had coffee... I didn't see drinks, but I carry my own espresso maker, so I don't usually imbibe. * Lots of TV channels including HBO & sports. Unfortunately, not many news channels or a weather channel. * Fast elevator. Yes, it matters if you travel as much as me. Cons: * Same as with any hotel since Covid, price... $175. That's a lot. * Not really a con but there's not much here... a KFC & Casey's. * Wifi's a bit tricky to connect to. Solid 4.5-5* out of 5. You won't regret it if you stay.

Not well managed…read more First I recognize there are few options in the area but this hotel is being run into the ground. I'll try not to comment on the clientele because that isn't under the complete control of the hotel, but let's just say it was rowdy and loud. Due to availability we needed to stay in 2 rooms. One room was on the first floor. The entire ground floor smells like they must had had a flood and it is now mildewy and moldy. The conference room even had floor fans going so I'd say that's a good guess. The workout room is itty bitty which is fine, but the treadmill wouldn't turn on and maybe I'm glad because the mildew smell and humidity in there was probably not good for breathing. The next room was better smelling albeit still slightly damp and smelly. But we had fewer towels than people and they couldn't provide any more towels to us because they didn't have any. They did offer to wash the two towels that we had and we'd get them back in over an hour. Seriously? That's just unacceptable and poor management of a hotel.
