Pros:

The hotel was very run down. Room smelled. No door locks to get into the building with rooms, very unsecure. There were bugs in the bed. Room very run down and smelled. The hallways smelled. I could not get a refund and ended up leaving and not even staying. Awful!

Travel Inn Emporia Kansas
Pros:

We got in late on Saturday and left on Sunday so not much was open. Parking was safe. It's not much to look at but people were nice, rooms were clean. My truck was safe. I would stay there again and recommend it to others. And to to it all off, it was very affordable.

Pros:

The staff were great, the room and parking was easy to find. However, our room smelt of smoke and the room didn't feel clean. We found an ash tray outside our room on top of our AC unit... Which explains why the room smelt of smoke. Great price for the area...

If you like the off beat
Pros:

The room had so much dog hair in it. The bed was very lumpy. The door was absolutely not secure. Host was nice.Gave us a bottle of water and a snack. Quiet area. The commode was so low was very hard to stoop down for a handicap person. No grab bars and shower was very slippery with no grab bars.

Week Stay
Pros:

Six-night stay for Junior Worlds disc golf. The property is dated: no USB charging outlets and the wall plugs were loose with anything plugged into them. The TV was an older flat screen, at least ten years old. Also could hear some noise between rooms. But it was clean and spacious, the beds were comfortable, and the owners cleaned the rooms every day. Wasn’t much to it, but considering the price it was a good deal with no major complaints.

Good room for a budget price.
Pros:

Its an older hotel but was relatively clean. Several outlets didn't work. Beds were comfortable which was surprising to me. I have a bad back and cant sleep on most hotel mattresses. Decent room for the price.

Pros:

Surprising...the level of cleanliness was abhorrent. Bed slept well, but seemed to be falling apart. Dirt on the floor, pubes everywhere...stains and such running down walls and headboards

Sketch location
Pros:

Was not able to check in there was too much weird activity in the parking lot. We were too incomfortable to even get out of the car.

Pros:

For the price, I was willing to look the other way at the older deep red carpet and mystery stains on poorly patched walls. Finding at least 2 different people's hair on a pillow was only tolerated because we arrived after midnight and needed to sleep before we kept driving the next day.
Staff was friendly enough, but I would tell my friends and family to look for alternatives.

Pros:

Never checked in. Clerk demanded more than half of the price of the room up front in cash. I explained I didnt carry cash and she threw my credit card and drivers license at me and screamed at me to call Expedia.

Pros:

Hotel is older and could use some updating but was relatively clean. We chose the one King bed room, there was a desk and dresser but only one nightstand. The bed was comfortable, linens were clean. The most important thing about this stay was the friendliness of the staff! We pulled up late in the evening, after 10 pm and they came to the door to let us in. Check in was very quick, they gave us a bag with water, juice and some chips. We were pulling a trailer so he walked outside with us to show us where to park. He was the nicest hotel person I’ve dealt with in YEARS!! This was the best price I’ve paid for a hotel room in years as well. It’s certainly not fancy, but if you are driving through and need a decent place to stay that won’t break the bank this is it! We will stay again if ever in the area.
