“Cousin's Weekend Outing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 June 2011
3
people found this review helpful

My two sisters and two cousins took a weekend trip to Emporia KS and stayed at the White Rose Inn. The 2nd floor suite was a great place for such an outing as it provided much room for sleeping, lounging, visiting, and eating. It was also close to downtown shopping which we enjoyed and provided much reminicsing as we shopped the antique and 2nd-hand shops as well as other quaint shops. We also loved our visit to Amanda's, a great deli shop, and Sweet Granada's, a great candy store, both near the Inn. Our delight came on Saturday morning when Scarlett Lowery, the Inn's innkeeper fixed us a delightful hot breakfast of a Sausage/Egg/Cheese casserole, Baked Oatmeal, fruit, orange juice and coffee. Thanks to the Lowery's for their great hospitality and kindness. --Cousins Five from Central Kansas

“Very relaxing, very clean, very comfortable!”

My first experience at The White Rose Inn. I stayed in the Romantic Suite.
I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the whole property. Breakfast was fresh fruit with yogurt, ham and cheese omelet and strawberry bread.
The bed was comfortable, with down pillows (6!) and comforter. I toured all of the rooms and all were clean and decorated like the past. (with modern conveniences!) Emporia is a quaint, friendly town as is lucky to be the home of this beautiful Bed and Breakfast. Thanks Lisa! We'll be back!

“The best hotel in Emporia”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2004
2
people found this review helpful

It is the best hotel in Emporia Kansas. I grew up visiting my grandmother in Emporia and it is by far the best choice. So if you are going to Emporia for whatever reason that maybe (there is nothing to do there) then you might as well go with the White Rose. Unless you like to stay in old moldy Holiday Inn's or other weird hotels i have never even heard of.

“A refuge of calm”

I stayed at White Rose during my interview for a position at ESU. Academic interviews are long multi-day affairs and the White Rose was a perfect refuge from the rigors of interviewing.
It was a perfect place for a calming break. I would highly recommend White Rose to anyone visiting Emporia.

“An Oasis”

people found this review helpful

I simply love this B&B. Each time I stay here, I discover another wonderful room refreshingly full of character. It is evident that the hosts, Sam and Lisa, have lovingly cared for and furnished this place.
They are so accommodating and never intrusive. Every time I take a trip through Emporia, I plan my driving and route so that I can stay overnight at White Rose Inn again.
