WOW!!! What a great stay at the Holiday Inn Express and Suites, Dodge City, Kansas. The hotel is relatively new and the accommodations are very well appointed with the latest fixtures and extremely clean in public areas as well the king room that we stayed in. The breakfast had a variety of both hot and cold choices that would satisfy most any discriminating traveler. While having breakfast we met Charlie Meade, Retired Special Deputy US Marshal of Dodge City, who comes over to the hotel to greet the guests and answer questions that the guests may have about Dodge City. WOW!!! Very cool!!! He is typically there in the morning of Mondays - Saturday and has a wealth of knowledge that goes back many decades. We had a fairly lengthy conversation with him and then we discovered that others were waiting to talk to him!!! We felt it was a very nice gesture by the leadership of the hotel to have Special Deputy Meade come over in the mornings and greet the travelers. We hope to come another time and stay at the Holliday Inn Express and Suites and greet Special Deputy Meade for another session of the "history of Dodge City". As it was it was time to "get out of Dodge" and head back to Colorado. What a pleasant experience.
