What guests think

At Travelodge by Wyndham Lamoni, many guests highlight friendly, accommodating staff, convenient access off I-35 and Graceland University, and generally good value for an overnight stop, with several noting quiet rooms away from freeway noise.

Rooms are basic and dated, with mixed mattress comfort and ongoing partial renovations; some have newer finishes, while decor and furnishings can feel mismatched. Cleanliness is often praised inside rooms, but recurring issues include musty or smoke odors, occasional bugs, and tired common areas. Facilities and exterior upkeep draw criticism, especially broken or fogged windows and a run-down appearance. Expect a simple budget stay with friendly service and variable upkeep.

The staff was amazing. The hotel itself had broken windows, mold by a window/wall, walking into the back door where parking was it had excessive trash. It was very noisy. Which is not the hotel itself fault, was more of the other guests.

Our room smelled like someone had been smoking in it and musty air was probably shut off for a long period. I complained about the smell asked to spray it or something. answer was no. He just kept saying all rooms are non smoking. They are remolding. water was off until almost 6pm. probably won't stay there again.

The bathroom wasn't fully clean, particularly around the shower. I saw several bugs in the bathroom and around the sink/counter and light fixture. The room itself was fine except for one of the beds had a large indentation on one side of the bed that didn't go away. Check-in was mostly smooth. The worker was new so it was slow but that is fine. Check out was also fine. Breakfast existed, pretty standard for a slow day at a small place. Overall, you are getting what you pay for. Would I stay here again? In a pinch, yes, but I wouldn't seek out this place again.

We stayed the night here for a college tour. The woman at the front desk was so nice. The place was clean but dated. There were a few broken windows along the outside of the building. The beds were double beds which is hard for 2 over 6ft people to share but we made it work. For one night it was a good place to stay.

The building seemed new put together with low grade materials. Most all the exterior room windows were double/triple paned a the gas clearly wasn’t intact. You couldn’t see out the windows. Not that there is anything to see. The furniture all seemed to be what could be picked up at a thrift store. Mismatched damaged pieces. Even though the bed seemed to have clean sheets and pillow cases and was made, the mattress had dips in it on both sides; was not flat. The microwave and refrigerator looked to be from the 70s , with rust along the bottom of the fridge door. They worked tho! We were tired and accepted the cheapest option for the area-Proving you get what you pay for. I believe the carpet was new as was the paint on the walls. Bathroom was clean.

This was a good value for the money. Nothing fancy for sure. The breakfast was simple; cereal, yogurt, pancakes, pre-packaged egg sandwich. The room had a fridge, microwave, and was extremely large, with an old fashioned gliding style rocker chair. Bed was fine and it was quiet. I was surprised to get a phone call from them asking about my expected arrival time. Upon arriving, there was a sign that no one monitors the front desk after midnight, so that explains why they checked on my arrival time.

Room 110 was very clean and it looked like it had been recently renovated. There was new tile and carpeting on the floors which looked very nice. The room had been freshly painted and the vanity was granite. To complete the job they should buy new bedspreads and draperies that compliment the colors on the walls. They could also touch up the old worn wood furniture with a little wood stain then I think the room would look sharp. We slept well in the quiet comfortable room.

We've stayed here many times over the last 4 years while our daughter attended college. The staff has always been very nice and accommodating (early check-in, late check-out, extra pillow), and the rooms are always very clean and ready for us. Breakfast is simple but well-stocked with pancakes, microwavable sausage egg and cheese croissants, and the usual cereal, wrapped muffins, yogurt etc. Stayed at the other hotel once and was not impressed. Save your money and stay here!

When we went back out to our car after checking in at the hotel, there was something going on with the connection to the battery in our car and the car wouldn't start. The employee who I spoke to about the situation was understanding and accomodating and then later when I spoke to the manager about our predicament, he offered to help with a jumpstart or pushing our vehicle if needed. I very much appreciated their understanding and willingness to try to help.

I online Booked a one night stay for 2 adults, 2 double beds, nonsmoking, on upper level. My traveling companion arrived at the inn prior to me approximately 1:15 pm on the booked day & asked the male employee at the front desk if he could view any 1 room representative of the type we woujd be assigned upon our check in at 3 pm for the purpose of possibly requesting an upgrade. My friend provided my personal information & his own personal information upon the employee’s request (email etc). I don’t understand why his information was required. Already had all my credit card information. At this the employee stated he didn’t have time to show what he stated was approximately 20 some rooms. My friend stated that was not at all what he was requesting. Upon the employee’s continued refusal to show a room & overall attitude we decided to seek lodging elsewhere.

The online pictures are very misleading. When we arrived, there was no one at the desk , but there was a sign saying we should call a number to register our visit. The so-called breakfast area had a small refrigerator on the counter with breakfast sandwiches piled on top of each other and a large of opened milk inside. I wouldn’t eat that food unless I was forced to… The rugs were dirty, there was big clumps of dirt on the rug, the mattress was terrible. We did not stay the night there.
