It was a challenge at first to identify the building. The unit was very clean. The kitchen had nice accessories. The bed was uncomfortable. There wasn’t any cream for the coffee. Light switches were confusing. And you could hear the neighbors in other rooms.

The property was very well decorated and appointed with anything you would need. It was clean and had all sorts of toiletries that you might need, which was a nice bonus. I felt safe walking outside at night with my dog as the area was very quiet.

Best place we stayed on our entire trip!

We booked The Mercantile on the Katy Trail as a last minute, on a whim stay during our family road trip. We couldn't believe how amazing the property was when we arrived. Every detail was thought of, and what an amazing place to stay! It was by far the best place we stayed during our multi-state road trip. Highly recommend to anyone!!!

This is an amazing stop for anyone riding the Katy (or anyone visiting Hermann). We found it a perfect stop at the end of the long day of riding. It was right off the trail and they made it easy (so we didn't have to go out that day). The communication was great; the place was lovely. We would absolutely stay here anytime I'm visiting this area.

Rental and suite were very nice. They did a great job renovating the mercantile. Only downside was the area was pretty rundown. It was right on the katy trail so if you bike, it would be awesome. Price was a lot cheaper than in Hermann too.

We stayed in the Vaudeville suite. The room was absolutely gorgeous and we really appreciated how well stocked it was. They had pretty much any toiletry you could need plus a few snacks and drinks. The only downside was that we were woken in the middle of the night by people in another room walking by in the hallway. It would be nice if the rooms had more soundproofing to keep from being disturbed. Other than that it was a great place to stay.

We loved everything about the stay! This is easily the best place we stayed at, especially considering the price. The room was unique and the fact that the building was a historic. The hostess was very responsive to our few requests. They thought of any all the amenities. I guarantee, if you forgot something while traveling, they have it! We will definitely be back to the next time we are through the area!

Ten outta ten!! Olga and Monica were incredible hosts, the property was incredible, and we had the best sleep of our lives. The decor was wonderful and they provided incredible products, robes, and a luxury claw foot tub. Extra bonus is that there is a wonderful local bike rental company, called PEDEGO is located at the same site, ask for Paola!
