I selected this hotel to enjoy an outdoor swimming pool. Upon arrival the water was green, water level down and closed off. I understand issues arise, therefore this should always be noted during the reservation process. Dissapointed

The hotel itself was okay, but there is NO elevator! We arrived late, completely exhausted from our travels, just me and three kids, and had to heft all the heavy luggage up the stairs! It was awful. It needs to be better communicated on the website that there is no elevator. For some people, this could have been an even worse situation than it was for me.

The hotel was super clean and smelled wonderful! The room was very clean and comfortable. We had the three beds room and there was plenty of room for four of us and a baby. The breakfast room and lobby was also super clean and there was quite a few hot options on the breakfast bar. The only complaint I have is the outdoor pool was a putrid green so we weren’t able to utilize the pool, very disappointing as this was the main reason we chose this particular hotel.

Front desk personnel was extremely rude and unfriendly when I first arrived. We were charged a different pet fee than what is stated in the book once we went to our room. I had asked for a room close to the pool as my daughter wanted to swim. When we were getting ready for the pool we realized the pool is pad locked and water if covered in green algae. Upon confronting front desk about our concerns (pet fee discrepancies and pool closed) clerk said the pool has been closed for a week-( but algae growth and water level is showing different) She also mentioned they had raised the pet fee 6months ago and nothing she could do and continued with a call, completely cutting us off. Its frustrating that both expedia and their website state a pool as an amenities however we are unable to use. The front clerk needs better customer service and manners.

This was a gem for the price. Very clean and quiet. We asked for a pet free room, even though they are pet friendly it seemed my very allergic husband did not have trouble. The breakfast was standard hotel breakfast with sausage and biscuits and a fun pancake machine. Some aspects were a bit dated and painted over but as an over night on our drive across country this was a great find. Everyone from check in and check out and info over the phone was very friendly.

The housekeeping group were great. We've used this hotel on more than one occasion over the years and it appears the room(s) are getting worse. May use your services in the future but not for this hotel.

If this is what they call remodeled, I wanted to see pictures from before the remodel. Needs a good cleaning and a painting. Room was not clean, candy left on dresser, old food on floor by bathroom door, dust and hair on the ledge of shower. My husband had to kneel to take a shower because the shower head was so low. I am 5'8" and I had a hard time getting my head under it. Ceiling above shower had a big water spot and falling plaster from the ceiling. Outlet covers broke and glued together. I have NEVER stayed in a hotel that had power strips in the room with at least 4 things plugged into it for the room, light, humidifier ( not sure why it was there), TV and other things. There was a power strip under the bed with thibgs plugged in to it! I got about 4 hours of sleep because it was so NOISY! Heard traffic from highway or street, doors slamming shut, people stomping around. Sheets did not fit bed, small pillows, not enough trash cans. Will not stay here again! I took pictures but i could not upload them!

Check in was a nightmare. The staff wasn’t helpful at all. Said one of our rooms that we booked online ahead of time wasn’t available after we already paid for it. Then made us pay for a 3 room. Got an email confirmation before arriving that our rooms were ready so after showing up and hearing that our reservation wasn’t available was just frustrating.

Check in and check out were the two worst experiences I've ever had in any hotel. I've used Hotels.com for years and have never had any trouble at all. Check in took entirely too long... Check out was a fiasco. I felt like I was being held hostage over $1.50 of my bill that for some reason wasn't covered through my Hotels.com booking. The lady at the desk was very rude and nearly refusing to tell me what the issue was as she tried to work through it. She told me no less than 3 times to "sit down while she figured it out" without telling me what the issue even was. When I pressed she said it was something to do with taxes and $1.50 of my bill was not paid. This entire process was about 30 minutes, I even tried to pay her cash for the $1.50, however she was unwilling to do so.... Finally, I told her I was on a schedule and had to leave. She took my # to call me if there was an issue over the $1.50... I could not believe all of this concern, waiting, and rudeness was over $1.50!

Everything was great until the morning of checkout. The checkout time was stated to be 11am. Starting at 9:30am we were harassed by staff (woken up several times). They knocked on the door to see if we were gone. Then called the room well before 11am asking if we were planning to extend our stay. If they expect people to leave before 11am they need to change the check out time to reflect that. After driving 8 hours and having a 10 hour drive ahead of us it was not appreciated to be harassed during rest time.

The check-in process was oddly cumbersome. I've stayed at a lot of hotels, and they had a pretty tedious process of agreements, signatures, both digital and paper. There was actually a really long line as a result! Great value and nice updates, especially given the price. I appreciated the black-out window coverings, as I am not a morning person! On that note, I wish their breakfast was offered later, especially on weekends. 6:00am-9:00am every day of the week. I'm used to hotels having different hours on the weekend. 7:00-10:00 would be nice! Just a personal preference. Everything I'd expect from an affordable accommodation. Large TV, fridge and microwave in rooms, snacks and beverages available at the front desk. Would stay again!

Close enough to highway to be convenient but far enough away (or good insulation) to not hear traffic noise. Walkable restaurant options so you don't have to get in car after already being in a car all day. Reasonably priced, very clean, comfortable bed and a working AC during a 105F day. Far enough north of KC to be out of traffic zone and hit the northbound road next morning without a rush hour.

Disappointed because the pool was closed. One big reason I chose this hotel was because they had a pool. I was looking forward to a relaxing swim after a long drive. The second thing that really disappointed us was the breakfast. No eggs. Sausage was cold in the middle. Sausage gravy was lukewarm. It also had a rancid taste. Only one banana out for fruit. Very little options and low on quantity. We've had better stays with a working pool for less than what we paid for the night. The staff was friendly and the room was clean and comfortable. I still don't think it was worth the $101 that I paid.
