The room smelled like somebody had just finished smoking a pack of cigarettes. The television would not get any service. The walls were so paper thin the people in the room next to me woke me up in the morning just by talking. Then to make the experience all that much more frustrating, I went down at around 9:30 a.m. to take a quick soak in the hot tub before hitting the road, and there was a sign taped to the door saying be pool and hot tub would not be open until 10:00 a.m. For the nightly rate I paid, I was rather disappointed with the overall experience

Great location for exploring the Tri-State area of Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma. The pool and hot tub were amazing in the afternoon after traveling. The breakfast was delicious. Plus you are at a very large truck stop with lots of souvenirs to choose from. I even got a haircut there. Plus I watched the sunset both days from there and the view westward of I-44 was incredible. Will definitely stay here again.

There was mini m&m under the desk on the floor, the room smelled like weed and the hallway like nasty dog, the room was nauseating and they said they couldn’t move us. We got febreze from the front desk, spray the room heavily, turn the fan on full blast and had to leave for a good while. The place has potential though, staff was nice enough, the bed was comfortable. If the room had actually been cleaned and actually been “smoke free” it would have been very nice.

This is in the middle of a truck stop. The room was on the ground floor with the back window facing the truck parking yard. The room was musty and smelt like a wet dog. The bathroom was ridiculously dated, stained carpet and small bathroom (shower and toilet in one small area) with the face basin being on the outside next to the bed with carpeting under it (I think this contributed to the musty smell). I booked for two nights and ended up changing to one night. Alex at the front desk was verrrry helpful as he gave us a discount based on the issues with the room and tried to change it (however they were fully booked so that was not possible). We had arrived late in the night so changing the hotel was not an option for us so we stayed the night and hoped that the state of the room would not make us sick based on our allergies. The breakfast was decent with a waffle maker, eggs and sausages etc.

The place was fine for a nights stay traveling through the area. I really like a fridge at least in the room. There was none. That’s my biggest issue. This was our first time ever staying at a sleep inn. If I had too would stay again but but not top of my list.

The chairs and room was kind of worn out. The shower is at 5 feet making it difficult to take head shower, the toilet was cramped and sliding door makes it very difficult. The walls are so thin that you can hear anyone whispering in next room. We had a rough sleep with kids Nextdoor and they were awake until 1:00 am and kept hearing the parents screaming with the kids. The lady at front desk was super nice and so does the lady serving the breakfast.

Clean room, nothing fancy but super comfortable. We were given a discount card for the Iron Skillet next door and had an awesome home cooked meal! We had a great breakfast of waffles, eggs & sausage, there was yogurt, cereal and pastries. Solid selection. This place was a bargain and we highly recommend!

We had reserved an accessible room for my husband who uses a wheelchair. We were going to a wedding and wanted to be able to change at the hotel. We called ahead and asked if we could check in just 30 minutes early as it takes us a little while longer to get in and out. They went out of their way to get the room ready for us. It made a big difference. The giy at the desk that evening was very kind as well.

I left some clothing items in the room on accident, and they shipped them to me for free. Overall, it was a great experience. Also very clean, comfy, hot tub, pool, absolutely no complaints! I highly recommend this establishment.

When we mapped this property enroute and followed the navigation guidance it kept taking us on a freeway loop because the hotels address is an intersection of a freeway and a highway of which the northbound highway road is at exit 6 and the southbound highway road is at exit 4. Navigation then maps it on the freeway halfway between the exits. Very frustrating to find . Recommend adding an actual strret address to your hotel.
