The Bissing House was a DELIGHT. I didn't set out looking for a place like this, but feel VERY fortunate that I found it. Warm and inviting, the place is full of charm. Hays, KS is a really lovely city, and this place exemplifies that. Of special note, the breakfast (with a lovely couple that was traveling a similar path as me, Missouri to Colorado) was exceptional. We all talked about what a better experience this was than a hotel -- and more affordable! Thank you, Bissing house! I'll stop again whenever I'm in the area!

The place to be to catch the spirit of Hays. A surprisingly cool town with a rich history. Management absolutely top-notch, friendly, and proud of their city. Clean, charming accommodations near the old town center.

The Bissing has character to spare, and is perfectly located to find dining downtown. The rooms and breakfast were top notch. We were crossing the country on a road trip and the Bissing and Hays are absolutely worth planning a stopover around.

So much charm and comfort

This was a stopover on a longer trip and we wanted to get back on the road so missed eating a nice breakfast. Unfortunately breakfast is served at 8:30 or 10:00 - very vice for a leisurely weekend away.

Our second time here and it was as good as ever! The staff are very friendly and attentive (even after their family tragedy) and we appreciate that so much! We walked to a nearby sushi restaurant for dinner and it was also surprisingly good.

A Trip Back in Time

The property takes you back in time to the turn of the 19th century. Stairs and floors creak with character, the stairs and banister are a reminder of grandparent's home as I grew up. The breakfast was personally made and it was perfect.

Very nice place!

We stayed one night from trip of Arkansas to Colorado. The breakfast was good, Michele was friendly. Room very quaint and shower great with up to date. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash were a surprise. Knew it might be a challenge for my husband to climb to 2nd floor, and it was since he's had a stroke, but would stay here again.

An OK experience … certainly acceptable. But let’s be honest … this is an old house that needs repair and updating. If you like antiques, then it’s fine. However, be prepared for squeaky floors, squeaky beds, and facilities that are not are not quite up to snuff. There are only 3 rooms, and it can be noisy while neighbors are getting settled. Otherwise definitely quiet and away from the hubbub of I70.
