Rooms at The Woodward The Woodward Inns on Filmore are all equipped with Wireless Internet for guest convenience. The Library The Library is a replica of The King Henry VII Library in London and the Sir Walter Scott Library at Abbotsford, Scotland. It is supported by hand hewn timbers imported from England. It features stained glass windows floor-to-ceiling on the front and back walls with library shelves made of imported old English Brown Oak on all other walls. A safe sits tucked into the back corner where Chester Woodward would keep his beloved rare books and prized possessions. A small circular stairway enabled Mr. Woodward to access his gallery above. A five-foot fireplace with a remote control switch allows the guests to be cozy and warm. The Library also features a large TV with VCR/DVD with great surround sound. The Chester Woodward Library was one of only four private prominent libraries in Kansas in its day. It held a 6,000-book collection. Today The Library can serve as a Chapel for up to 100 people seated plus 60 more standing in the Gallery above. For a sit down meal, The Library is full and comfortable up to 72 guests. For a reception and dance, the house with activities focused around The Library is full at 250 in poor weather or inside/outside 500. The Library is often used as well for a resort-style conference location either in conference style up to about 45, casual style (up to about 60), or theatre style (up to about 75). When the home is used more relaxed in style for Quiet Bed Breakfast, The Library becomes a wonderful room in which to enjoy a roaring fire, a movie with theatre surround sound or just quiet, intimately lit massage/spa services. The Dining Room The Dining Room features the original oak table made for the room and the two original buffet tables which were built for, but not built into, the Dining Room. Additional leaded glass windows open onto the front patio's fountain area. The original plaster ceiling is greatly detailed in its multi-level design. Today the Dining Room is used as seating for the evening dessert served to sleeping guest and for morning breakfast. For parties, the Dining Room is used for the main buffet table for meals or hors'douerve service. French doors with leaded glass lead from the Dining Room onto what is now Elizabeth's office but was once a screened in sun porch. The Living Room The main feature of the home's original Living Room is the massive front door in solid Olde English Brown Oak. It has black iron hammered hardware. The chandeliers in the Living Room are also original and quite unique with one having posed sculpted men adorning the top edges and the tudor rose symbol of King Henry VIII along the lower curvature. Large stones were imported from England for molding into the bay windows and leaded glass encompasses the functional crank-style window opening. Today, the Living Room also features the joyous sound of the player baby grand piano and more of the cobalt blue glass collection. Comfort in the Living Room includes a scrunchy red velvet oversized sofa and matching red leather high-back swivel studded chairs. The Chester Suite - with Private Roof-top Hottub Deck The Chester is The Woodward;s premier King sized room and is decorated in rich Ralph Lauren hues of olive, taupe, burgundy and navy with walls lined in political memorabilia left over from my days as the owner of the first woman-owned lobbying firm which I started in 1980.

The Sisters The Sisters is known for its king-sized iron bed painted in dark teal with lion's heads, half-canopied overhead. It has colors of teal, white and pink. The Sisters is very popular because of the custom designed pink and white champagne (jetted) slipper tub in the bedroom between the fireplace and the bed. While the tub is big enough for two, some would consider it a large one-person tub. The Sisters is named for my sister, Mary Kai. Her picture adorns the room along with other sibling pictures. Other furnishings in The Sisters include an electric fireplace, an overstuffed pink satin chair and an ottoman. The Sisters features a custom-made two-person jetted slipper tub with claw feet in the bedroom.
