Maxine's is located near the east end of the trail at 902 Cedar Dr. The Chamber of Commerce has a complete listing of sleeping rooms to rent.

This response is submitted with the concurrence of numerous small businesses in and around Sedalia.

Please be aware that Maxine's Rooms for Rent is not licensed, inspected or insured. She also does not pay the required city, county or state lodging taxes that legitimate hotels and B&B's do. So called sleeping rooms were intended to create more rooms during special events, such as State Fair, after the local lodging establishments were full. However, they were never intended to be allowed to open their doors on a full-time basis to compete against local licensed businesses. The city code enforcement office says that they do not have the time to investigate places such as Maxine's until someone files a complaint. We hope it doesn't reach that point.

You may call the Sedalia Chamber of Commerce and they will no longer recommend Maxine's as a lodging establishment, except during special events when all other hotels and B&B's are full. Sedalia businesses would welcome her and other private residences as competition once they meet the same requirements to obtain an operating license that we must. However, they will find it impossible to continue charging the same low rates.

Finally, we all put customer care and satisfaction number one. However, people operating sleeping rooms provide no immediate protection if something unfortunate does happen to their customers. Those with business insurance have quick coverage for your person and/or equipment if something were to happen while in our care. We appreciate your business.
