Various Small Hotels & Cottages in Hermann
1 NIGHT
Location: Hermann
Various small hotels & cottages located off the Hermann Spur from the Katy Trail. Each is located in the heart of downtown Hermann, Missouri, within walking distance to shops and restaurants. The rooms are uniquely decorated and contain all the modern conveniences of a hotel room. Since we are using multiple facilities, participants might be housed in small groups sharing one cottage. Every effort will be made to provide one bathroom for each single occupancy and one for each double occupancy. There is no guarantee that the bath will be ensuite. Due to the limited room configurations in Hermann, it is likely that a single will have an ensuite bathroom; however this cannot be guaranteed for this one-night stay.
