Hotel is in need of a serious cleaning. Doors propped open everywhere, glass hasn’t been touched with windex in years, the room was so musty we could hardly stand it, the curtains were dripping!! We were thankful it was just overnight….would not have stayed here a second night.

Never again
The staff were pleasant but otherwise this hotel needs a serious overhaul. Very dirty. Bedspreads stained. Our room was in a separate building, motel style, with a door that didn't seal.

Not worth it
Breakfast choices was bare minimum, only fresh fruit available was bananas 2 cereal choices no yogurt worst OJ I ever tasted. Never seen oatmeal pies on a breakfast bar, I guess that was supposed to be a breakfast dessert

When we first checked into our room there was a really bad odor that was all over the room. And when we got back from our concert into bed we noticed a bed bug and they weren’t going to refund us. The man at the counter just said “We can give you a room a couple doors down”. We didn’t feel like driving 2 hours home at 1 am so we took the other room and it had that same odor but worse. This was the worst hotel i’ve ever stayed at and will not be coming back.

The Photos DO NOT tell the story
The hotel was unkempt, dusty and in some cases very dirty. The room had a sour odor and was not generally clean. My Sisters room had a drain back up in the bathroom that was not addressed until the second day of stay and there was no offer from the hotel to change their room. The front desk clerk was working a three day straight shift and was sleeping on the lobby couch. Overall it was not a good stay and I would not recommend that anyone one stay there.

Nice for the two night stay
The room was as we wanted, clean no odor, clean towels, beds where comfortable and clean as well, breakfast was good but needs unflavered creamer for coffee, may I suggest half & half , the one complaint would be the pool, there was no filter system and water seemed cloudy and unclean so we choose not to get in...

Clean, basic hotel not far from KU
It was a clean, basic hotel. Room service is available if requested. Nothing fancy, but it was clean. The hot tub was not working, but they do allow pets ,and they do serve a basic breakfast.

The worst motel I have ever stayed at in my life.
Arrived at 2am, tweakers hanging out in front of our room going door to door knocking on doors. Smoke alarm next door beeping like it needed a new battery, 3 different lights had bulbs burned out, toilet seat and bathroom floor sticky and smelled of urine. I went to take a shower and drain was stopped up so bathtub filled up above my ankles. Rated Good on Hotels.com but should have been rated terrible.
