Feature Accommodations -
Our room, the Cattlemen's, came with mounted longhorns above the carved oak bed, with a unique longhorn hide wall decoration, leather chairs, and custom-made table. An old cast iron coal heater served as a night stand. The Cattlemen and Cowboy's Rooms are reported to have had sightings of ghostly women appearing in the rooms. Alas, we saw none (we left the light on the first night just in case...). Floating "orbs" have also been photographed at the hotel, which some say are evidence of ghosts. Each themed room opens to a main parlor area which includes period furniture and seating, with an overhead stained glass skylight, which can accomodate small gatherings and parties. Three bathrooms are available for guests down the hall from their rooms, with two featuring claw foot iron tubs and a third a shower, with pull-chain toilets. Bathrobes are provided during your stay. The rooms are non-smoking, with a balcony available next to the kitchen for smokers to use. Just down the street is the largest honky tonk in the world, Billy Bobs (see our feature coming soon) and the White Elephant Saloon where scenes from Walker Texas Ranger were filmed. Twice daily, you can see Texas longhorns as they are steered towards the original stockyards, along Exchange Avenue right in front of the hotel. Miss
Molly's Bed & Breakfast Hotel is located at 109 1/2 W. Exchange
Avenue on the second floor above the Star Cafe (historic in it's
own right as the area's oldest restaurant) in the Stockyard Historic
District. Be sure to look for the Star Cafe sign on the building,
for the entrance to Miss Molly's.
We
would like to thank the owner, Dawn Street
for helping with our feature.
