I absolutely loved my trip to the Seiberling at Christmas! I found it to be one of my favorite…read moreChristmas experiences so far. Every square inch is decorated. There are 3 floors to this historic mansion to explore for only $10. The architecture is amazing. I got a lot of pictures here. It was worth the hour drive to Kokomo from Indy. Staff and volunteers were friendly and helpful as well.

Kokomo, Indiana's Seiberling Mansion is a rather sublime sight to see during the holiday season…read more Serving as home for the Howard County Historical Society, the Seiberling Mansion was completed in 1891 and owned by Monroe Seiberling. Seiberling was an industrialist and entrepreneur who arrived in Kokomo alongside the late 19th century gas boom. He became wealthy, built several factories in the area, and followed all this up by building a rather remarkable mansion. Subsequent owners included Orange Darby, Rev. William Parr (namesake for Parr Methodist Church), real estate developer Franklin Miller, and George Kingston. Kingston was an inventor who invented the carburetor used in Henry Ford's Model T. When Kingston passed away in 1946, Indiana University bought the home and used it as the home of IU-Kokomo until 1964. For several years, the mansion remained empty. Finally, Howard County began looking for a way to move the county museum out of the courthouse. This ended up being a perfect arrangement and IU signed a long-term agreement to turn over the property for use as a museum. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1972, the Seiberling Mansion has both a Queen Anne and Romanesque Revival style. The house has three stories - eight rooms on the first floor, seven on the second floor, and a grand ballroom on the third floor. Parking is free. The parking lot entrance is behind the museum off West Walnut street. The front door is the main entrance, though the accessible entrance is at the rear of the house. It's important to note that only the first floor is actually accessible (there's no elevator), though there is a virtual video available on the first floor for the second and third floors. There are public restrooms on the first and second floors, though it should also be noted these are not wheelchair accessible. The museum is open Tuesday-Sunday from 1-4pm. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for K-12, and free for under age 5. The museum is a Blue Star Museum - this means active military and family members get in free from Memorial Day to Labor Day. They do have periods when they close - so checking their website is always a good idea just to be sure. The Seiberling Mansion can be rented for a maximum of 25 people. Rental rates on the website. The adjacent Elliott House is also available. While I always lament not having full access to places, with historic locations it's understandable and expected that access isn't going to be perfect. This is beautiful to see, though I'm not sure I can give it a full thumbs up for those with mobility issues since entry is $10 and you really only get to access one of three floors. That said, the virtual tour is pretty cool and the building itself is wonderful.

It used to mean hanging out with people in my family that made me upset or uncomfortable but its definitely evolved for me. My mom got a membership a few years ago and we've been really taking advantage of its convienance. The food here is always presented well and superb. I'm addicted to their greek salad with hot bacon dressing and their sauteed spinach *OMG!!* They are also very helpful for all your event planning needs. They have VERY affordable rates, which most people don't expect I guess, for really nice quaility of services. They have several different sizes of rooms, all of which have a decent level of class that is hard to find at any of the other banquet halls in Kokomo (one perk is that the sewage treatment plant is NOT across the street. LOLLLL). The pool and poolside services are awesome. I usually try to go by the pool and have a margarita and a greek salad as much as possible in the summer. They have a nice locker room to get ready in, as many as you need towels, free sunscreen, and lots of water toys. Very stress free. They also have a baby pool that few use but its great to sunbathe and stay cool...the reflective water also greatly improves you tan. :)

My husband and I stayed in a king-size bedroom on Friday and Saturday night, and the total for that…read morestay was $350. We are from Indy and had to stay in Kokomo for a wedding and thought the price was very high for what there was. When we checked in, they informed us the pool was closed, which was disappointing as we were most excited about that. They said they had a bistro bar every night that is open until 10:00PM, and there was a big poster board of a fancy mixed drink and good looking food to advertise it. We tried to go to that Friday night but realized it's literally just some beer bottles to choose from and they don't even make food or mixed drinks. We thought it would be an actual bar within the hotel, but it was just where you go in the morning for breakfast. In the morning, the "free breakfast" is just a super hard granola bar and a muffin which was also pretty disappointing. They have Starbucks coffee to buy, but the person running it doesn't know how to actually make the coffee and has to look it up. It's also super weird because you have to then walk back over to the check-in desk to pay for it which really slows things down. The room was nothing fancy for the price and all the perks we thought the hotel would have they didn't.

Disclaimer up front; I did not pay for this event…read more This definitely looked like amateur hour operation. A shame, there is so much potential with minimal bling and training to make spectacular events with spectacular results and profit. This business is definitely the low end of the spectrum on performance. Venue. The building looks to be able to accommodate close to 200 in a tight fit. Ant that is some of the set up problem. The ch airs in the event room are narrow and set so close together people are nearly on top of one another... not comfortable and lets face it, the crowd is bound to have a fair number of people that are overweight and wider than the guest's child that attends. Spread the chairs out a little more. Likewise, they crammed too many tables into the dining area. There was no room for guests to get in the back of the tables without having three other guests from the adjacent tables get up and move out of the way.... more on this unfortunate choice when I talk about the waitstaff service Decorations. This is a positive. The company uses inexpensive solutions combining white chiffon cloth draped with a right amount of LED lights behind for a nice effect that is easy to set up or change from event to event without a huge investment. Cash Bar. Cash bars are money makers without adding to the package expense other than the bartender. However this bar under charged and under performed. First the bartender must know the basic drinks but no need for complex cocktails. But serving in plastic dixie cups is a total miss for an formal event. Go to a restaurant warehouse and buy glassware... it is cheap. Then charge 6-7 for your drinks instead. Charging 5 per drink not only shows you failed to price point the bar offerings but also sets up for failure with the bartender tips; most people will pay with a ten or twenty and unless you set up the bar with enough to dole out 5 ones each time, they'll walk off without tipping. Food. Honestly my chefs on the submarines can out cook what was offered by a long shot. The meal was not coordinated in either color or texture. The modest portions were not an issue but the poor quality was. The plate was bland colored and bland in taste. The chicken breast was overcooked. The corn was simply reheated from a can. And the tasteless pasta was a white as a ghost and probably with as soulless a flavor. I could have my team turn out a much better product with no appreciable cost increase. Waitstaff. The waitstaff is under trained. They interrupted events to stack dishes so high and block seats that it became clear the wedding party was an inconvenience to them. For serving, the poor layout left them passing everything to the guests on the inner side of the table and expecting the guests to pass everything around like family style at the Walton's. Big failure for a formal event. Tablesetting. Again, for no more significant investment the delivery could have been much much better. The large 12 person tables had only one set of condiments. Tables that large any respectable caterer knows you need at least two full settings. Likewise, the table was essentially naked aside from table cloths and centerpieces. Tablesetting 101... put out a centering plate and dress the table for a formal event. And put out pitchers of ice water and possible ice tea. Its shabby for a formal event to tell the quests "help yourself to the soda bar in the back alcove". I could go on but I am not going to give you all the solutions how to run a successful event business. Instead, I am seriously considering opening one close by and for no more appreciable cost increase, show you how its done. It really wouldn't take much for an entrepreneur to scarf up all your business with little effort and a lot more polish for formal events than what I saw today. Two stars was far generous for this venue.
