Frontier Motel

What guests think

At Frontier Motel, travelers find a simple budget stop with very clean rooms, friendly staff, and solid value, though the basic property shows its limits with occasional TV and Wi-Fi glitches and sparse amenities in a quiet small town.

Many mention refreshed rooms and bathrooms, convenient parking by the door, and options like pet areas or a small laundry. Critiques include inconsistent heating or cooling, mixed mattress comfort, occasional concerns about door locks, and very limited dining choices in town. Overall, it suits budget-minded road trippers seeking a straightforward overnight rest.

The rooms are very nice. Parking is right outside your door which makes it nice to bring things in. The people are very friendly. They have a awesome coffee machine that I liked. Anything bad that I have to say is I went to the office one time and ring the bell, but nobody came, but other than that, it’s a nice place to stay

Let’s get real. This is a 5-star for inexpensive motels. Very clean room. Fridge, microwave, and A/C. Convenient parking right next to room. All of which I wouldn’t expect for this price that beats the competition by a factor of 2!

Check in was quick and easy, I’ve stayed places like the Sofitel etc in Chicago and I appreciated the clean, nice and cool room. Bathroom was updated, I liked the colors compared to the stale colors most use, parking by your door and the actual ability to open a window for fresh air. We drove for 9 hours and slept well. GREAT value for your money and pet friendly. Cute little town with the general small town staple stores and a really good authentic restaurant. Will definitely be staying on my way to Denver again!

Great little hotel at a great price with parking a few feet from your door. Pet fee only $15 for the stay (not per day) with nice grassy area to take them out. Friendly staff, restaurant on site, easy walking distance to other rooms, nice covered outdoor sitting area with grill, sink, etc...

Its a hidden gem . The laundry was right across from my room which made it very easy. The bed was comfortable , and the room was very clean. It was a refreshing change from some other motels. The owner/manager did everything: checked people, fixed broken equipment and cleaned the rooms. He was always available

As I pulled through the very tight and secluded parking lot to my room, kids on bikes seemed to disappear inside motel room(s). The seclusion of the parking lot made me feel unsafe. When I opened the door to my hotel, a large crack on the door made it evident the door had been broken into before. The door had 3 locks (handle, deadbolt, and chain). The room was stale and hot and synthetic fragrances were overwhelming. The lower parts of the furniture appeared to not ever be cleaned as I wiped off a layer of very old dust with the disinfectant wipes I carry. I never even sat down in the room, as I couldn’t see myself being able to relax and sleep there. I decided to pay for another hotel instead of staying here. I didn’t feel safe here, and the cleanliness wasn’t to my standards.

sehr netter Empfang an der Rezeption. Es war sehr ruhig, nur noch zwei andere Gäste dort. Man sollte Essen und Trinken am besten dabei haben; dort ist kaum bis nichts zu finden. Man kann hinter dem Motel schön durch die Straßen laufen. Das Zimmer war ganz sauber, neu gemacht und für den Preis wirklich ok. Die Klimaanalge war nciht ganz so stark und es war sehr heiß in dem Zimmer und das Bett war zu weich. Aber alles in allem für einen Zwischenstopp wirklich ok.

I've stayed in a lot of hotels and it is usually the little things that make or break it for me. Just to be clear...this was a very clean hotel with a very reasonable price. Now Oberlin, KS is by no means anywhere anyone would go on vacation. It's mostly hunters that stay in this area and it's perfect for what we are looking for. There is little to no dining options in the town. My biggest complaint would be the fact that the rooms had recently been updated....I could tell this from fresh paint, new carpet, tile, and linens. The door had a hole for a dead bolt, which would have been nice, but it was covered up with duct tape instead. Overall a nice place to stay, just don't plan on having ANYTHING to do unless you are a hunter.

Check-in went surprisingly well, considering the desk clerk spoke absolutely no english. However, quickly called someone to translate and it went very efficiently. Room feels recently spruced up but room is dated. I felt i was in a clean, safe, inexpensive motel ans it was much nicer than similar ventage places.

The stay was okay i wouldn't say it was perfect. It was heavily lackinging in amenities like toilet paper and extra blankets and the tv only had one channel so if your going to stay i suggest bringing a roku stick or an apple tv stick to watch shows and also a Hotspot for wifi. And the bed are a little stiff due to it being a spring bed.

Like. I requested some things be fixed and they were tended to promptly. The room was clean and comfortable. I actually spent time sleeping, which doesn't often happen in a strange motel. Bad: The room was icy cold when I got there. It took awhile for it to warm up. The toilet didn't flush when I arrived. See good comments.

Most reviews here make this out to be insanely good for the price. I will say I think they are exaggerated, but this place was about what you’d expect for the price point in the middle of nowhere. It was just fine, it worked well for the cheapest night’s stay possible. But it will not impress you.
