For several months, my mother was in a nursing home close to this hotel, so I ended up staying there several times, usually for several days at a time. Throughout this period of time, George and his staff were beyond friendly, helpful, and considerate to my situation. When she passed away recently, they were all as conciliatory as they could be, doing their best to make my stay as comfortable as possible and to make my feel welcome. I cannot say enough about the kindness and professionalism of this establishment.

Kansas plains, this was a pretty uneventful trip, The hotel was good and people were very nice, got to love the Midwest, in NYC all u get is attitude and in Kansas all we got was smiles. Work trip went well and well rested at the hotel, very easy to get to and fitness room was nice for my morning run.

I really liked my overnight stay at this property. It has a nice curb appeal as you drive up. Inside the lobby, hallways and room are nicely maintained. I did not see any tell-tell signs of worn tired product. Either it's been renovated recently, or major kudos to the maintenance team. This property was so nice, convenient and reasonably priced that I gave it four stars in spite of the staff. Their friendly score would be a 1 for me. I would like to assume the staff shortage nationwide is the issue because the employees here just do not show any effort to care. I might even say they are rude. I ran into this at the front desk, the clean team on my floor and the attendant working the morning breakfast. FYI breakfast is included in the price of admission, but it's average at best. The vast majority of the food is high calorie, carbohydrate filled and/or greasy. There is healthy food available, but you have to search to find their alternative options.

This is or appears to be a family run/managed property. I chose this property based on the price, the location's convenience to where I was working and reviews on this and other websites. I'm absolutely at a loss to understand how this place got the high ranking that it did. The photos shown are extremely well staged and hand picked. I'm not saying it was that bad, but certainly not worthy of the reviews that I saw beforehand. The person I dealt with the most was very friendly and as the length of my business stay was subject to change, she worked with me to add or cancel days as needed. This was and is greatly appreciated. The times I spoke or dealt with other people at the desk, were much less successful. For some, English was not their 1st (and perhaps not 2nd) language, and at other times, the person manning the desk didn't appear to have the authority to make management decisions or understand what I was asking. The property is located on an easily accessible lane near the freeway. It's convenient and quiet in terms of traffic. You can hear the highway traffic, but it didn't bother me. The hotel itself appears to be old or older and it has a very used and tired look about it. It stood in very stark contrast to the Holiday Inn Express, just across the street, but at or near twice the price. The Days Inn is close to a grocery store and any number of restaurants and fast food places. The bed was nice and the A/C was cold, which was the majority of what I needed for the purposes of my stay. There was a refrigerator, which functioned, but the freezer part was completely filled up and unusable with frost from never (I assume) having been defrosted. The bathtub while old, poorly caulked and in need of updating or replacement was serviceable. While I didn't time it exactly, it took upwards of 5 whole minutes to run through tepid water to get to hot water in the shower/tub. When it did come it was the temperature hot water should be. I was working 12 hour night shifts and sleeping days, so I worked out with the manager that I would let them know when I'd be out of my room early so they could clean my room at a time reasonable both for me and their cleaning schedule. I stayed there almost 2 weeks and had them clean my room 1 time, this revealed that there is a distinct insect problem, at least in the bathroom. They (not sure what they were, but not roaches) collected on the bathroom (not carpeted) floor between cleanings. Regarding the ”breakfast” served. At the front desk there is a list of the 10 or so items available so if you read it there shouldn't be any surprises. I didn't read it/see it until several days in. The only hot item was something they called an omelet. While I didn't try it, it appeared to be a from frozen item. The remaining items consisted of apples, instant oatmeal, bread and a toaster with jams, jellies, and peanut butter, dry cereal (2 kinds), milk, and orange juice. 1 man's o

Very clean, staff friendly and great breakfast .

Pleasantly surprised. Not really sure what you'll get with a Best Western, but, this one was nice, and the breakfast area was clean and food was good too. The room was clean, and all of the items worked. The room had a jacuzzi, but, I did not use it. Overall, a nice room, at a great price ! I got in late, and left early, so, I really didn't get to see a lot of the hotel, but, it is easy on / off the interstate there.

The stay was fine. Clean affordable room but it took me over an hour to check in because I came after 8pm. Staff was great but using the courtesy phone should not be so inconvenient.
