Several guests praise friendly front-desk service and the value-for-money rates.

Worst stay EVER. Don't go here it is utterly disgusting and the manager is even more disgusting. He claims he cleaned the room himself. Room was filthy with bugs dead and moving everywhere. Stuff smeared on walls. Refrigerator looked like it hadn't been cleaned since it was in the room. Blood like stains on wall. DISGUSTING AND DEFINITELY A COVID RISK

My expectations were low due to the overall price. Smoke detector missing. Many lights switches were not functional. Microwave not functional. Drain plug for shower/tub missing. A/C worked bed was ok so worked for a crash pad while doing the dirty kanza event in emporia so the basics were covered.

We get to the room and it’s 90 degrees in the room. Turn on the ac and 2 hours later it’s still 90 degrees. Call the front desk and the guy said he would call someone. An hour later we go to the front desk and he said he let the person know but doesn’t know when he’ll come. Asked for a new room since we have a small child and he said no. Will not be returning to this hotel

Just the most inexpensive place to stay for a family funeral. In room coffee was ok. Was too late (8:30) for whatever breakfast they had, if they did. Walls were paper thin, listened to my neighbor hack and couch all night. Car doors slamming all night. Heat worked fine. Could have used an extra blanket as mine was paper thin. King room and lots of flat pillows. 2 nice desks but you have to move them to get to power plugs for your devices. Internet was basically unusable, nowhere near todays minimums. You get what you pay for.

It took forever for the guy to come to the counter. I got the room thru Orbitz and rented a king size bed. Was put in the furthest building from the office and when we got to the room in was 2 queen beds. To late and to far to complain. First thing my husband notices is the wires hanging from the ceiling where the smoke alarm was supposed to be. Again it was 2 in the morning and we were exhausted. The floor would have been more comfortable than the sorry excuse was for the beds. The room was so bleak. Said there was a breakfast, when we went to check out there was a basket with a note to put our keys in and a basket with 5 plastic wrapped sorry of an excuse “pastries”. The water had an out of order sign. Again no one around to tell them they got the room wrong and it was missing the smoke alarm. Couldn’t wait to get out of there.

Customer service was excellent. I booked about 15 minutes before I arrived, completely exhaisted from driving all day. I felt welcome, and when I forgot my key card in the room, they gave me a new card, no problem. Later on, I needed a fork, and they happily provided one. I was given a nice, quiet room in the back, and slept like a baby. Would definitely reccomend!
