The Bissing has character to spare, and is perfectly located to find dining downtown. The rooms and breakfast were top notch. We were crossing the country on a road trip and the Bissing and Hays are absolutely worth planning a stopover around.

The place to be to catch the spirit of Hays. A surprisingly cool town with a rich history. Management absolutely top-notch, friendly, and proud of their city. Clean, charming accommodations near the old town center.

Our room was decorated with furniture from the appropriate era, however the chair was broken and the lights would flicker due to old wiring. The floor squeeked loudly when walking on it which could wake people up. On the positive side, the staff was friendly, the breakfast was outstanding and the home was pretty cool. Street parking is available.

Our second time here and it was as good as ever! The staff are very friendly and attentive (even after their family tragedy) and we appreciate that so much! We walked to a nearby sushi restaurant for dinner and it was also surprisingly good.

Great stay

Great alternative to a hotel on a long drive across country. Fresh made breakfast works great unless you want to hit the road early. Close to good food and beer

So much charm and comfort

This was a stopover on a longer trip and we wanted to get back on the road so missed eating a nice breakfast. Unfortunately breakfast is served at 8:30 or 10:00 - very vice for a leisurely weekend away.

The Bissing House was a DELIGHT. I didn't set out looking for a place like this, but feel VERY fortunate that I found it. Warm and inviting, the place is full of charm. Hays, KS is a really lovely city, and this place exemplifies that. Of special note, the breakfast (with a lovely couple that was traveling a similar path as me, Missouri to Colorado) was exceptional. We all talked about what a better experience this was than a hotel -- and more affordable! Thank you, Bissing house! I'll stop again whenever I'm in the area!

Beautifully restored and updated Victorian in the heart of Hays. Wonderful staff and service with delicious made-to-order breakfast. Lots of amenities including a binder detailing historic profiles of the namesake of each room. Glad we found this gem through Orbitz. Already made reservations to stay there again on our return trip.
