Econo Lodge Truman Inn  

Right off the highway in Sedalia, this roadside hotel puts you a quick drive from the Missouri State Fairgrounds, State Fair Community College and the Daum Museum of Contemporary Art. Vermont Park and Trails End Monument are nearby for easy sightseeing.

119 air-conditioned rooms keep things simple and practical with flat-screen TVs, refrigerators, microwaves and coffee makers. Expect in-room basics like hair dryers, irons/ironing boards and free WiFi; select rooms add roomy work desks for business travelers.

Dive into the indoor pool and spa tub, hit the fitness center, or let the arcade entertain the kids — a genuinely family-friendly setup. Onsite laundry, free self-parking and a 24-hour front desk keep mornings and late arrivals effortless.

A business center plus fax and copy services help keep work moving, and phones with free local calls are available for quick contact.

Fuel up with a complimentary hot/cold buffet breakfast each morning. For local flavor, nearby barbecue spots like Kehde's Barbeque, Bandana's Bar-B-Q and Little Big Horn Cattle Co. are crowd favorites.
