“A wonderful place to relax”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 November 2011

Eldon and James are wonderful people though it can be stressful, as i have seen.
They treat you as if your family no matter what. If you ask for it, you will most likely recieve it. If they don't have what you are asking for they will either point you in the right direction or get it for you.
I have seen customers for no reason act hateful and disrespectful towards them on a few stays, I'm sure some of the horrible reviews that i have read are because people don't even think to ask if something is missing. Eldon and James run the whole B&B of 16 rooms by themselves. I have had the chance to run a couple businesses and some people are just plain ignorant or like to scam an owner out of money even though they sign contracts. If they don't like something and can't get there money back due to contractual obligations that they sign, they will be hateful on review sites. Its just wrong.
Eldon and James correct anything that may have been looked over and the places are much cleaner since there last cleaning person seemed not to want to do much or even help much if you asked for it.
As a Navy Vet. I give a salute to both of them for running such a large B&B, just with some small bumbs and pot-holes from time to time.

Room Tip: The best room in the whole of the RBI is the Dessert Rose. Its as if you are in a gypsy tent.

“Unsurpassed hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2011

As a trainer for my company, I travel to many different areas of the U.S. Hotel after hotel, regardless of the name outside, there all the same, a hotel. Fortunately, when it came time to do a training in Cape Girardeau, there was a big convention in town and there wasn't hotel that had a meeting room available. Fortuntately, our event coordinator found The Rose Bed Inn.

This isn't your typical B & B. They have a wonderful meeting hall and the food that James prepared was second to none! I admit that I'm a bit of a foodie (food snob). OMGoodness! I only wish they were closer to me in Texas, because I would love to have my family reunions here. They even picked me up from the airport and get this, took me back to the airport at 5 a.m., without any extra charge! The world is changing and customer service isn't what it used to be. I'm here to tell you, it's alive and well at The Rose Bed Inn.
Anytime I'm ever in or around Cape Girardeau, whether for business or pleasure, you better believe I'll be staying at the Rose Bed Inn. Hotels are fine, but when I stay at The Rose Bed Inn, it's like I'm with family, because Eldon and James treat you as if they've known you for years.

Room Tip: The Medallion in the main house is awesome, but The Gypsy Rose house is also incredible.

“Not worth the money. We agree with earlier "disappointed" review post”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 April 2011

Proprietors were friendly. Breakfast consisted of yoghurt, muffins, cereal, custom omelets, sausage and toast. Out door garden looked inviting, but the weather was too cold to enjoy. Nice extras, such as packaged toothbrushes and razors that went beyond the norm but other things not complete, such as lack of creamer for coffee. Room was dirty; particles on the carpet, paint chips on the bath floor and stove inspection tag on floor. Some things were in disrepair, such as unpainted base board sections, poorly installed shower tile. Curtains had small rips. Window treatments did not keep street lighting from interfering with sleep. No place to put suitcases or to hang clothing. Outside walkways were not swept. Lots of potential in this little place, but not worth the monies we paid for what we got.

Eldon Nattier, Public Relations Manager at Rose Bed Inn Bed & Breakfast, responded to this review
27 April 2011
I am constantly amazed at verbal POSITIVE comments made by guests, then writing negative reviews on TripAdvisor. Each room has a luggage rack, and hanging space. Perhaps guests have short-term memory or hope to receive full refunds after their stay. If you will note the washcloth, it certainly looks as if someone in the room either oped up a spill or cleaned their shoes. There is a blanket in EACH room, and had the guest opened the drawers in the chest, it would have been found clean, and folded ready for their use. True, guests cannot control the temperature in this room, similar to many Bed and Breakfasts. If additional cream packets OR ANYTHING was needed, a simple call from the room phone to the Innkeeper would have resulted in an IMMEDIATE response to fill their needs. I feel sorry for ANYWHERE these "guests" stay because poor reviews seem to be their nature after verbalizing positive things over breakfast. We are also so very sorry that we are not able to 'control' the weather to please such guests....after all, we are human, not God.

" The Rose Bed Inn was absolutely Stunning", The Decor and detail of each individual Room had such amazing detail with such art and beauty. The hospitality of the owner's of the Rose Bed In Eldon and James was out of this world and made you feel as if you were at home. The Rose Bed Inn is a home away from home and will continue to stay every chance I get at this establishment
