Did what we needed it to do which was be able to sleep, but definitely not worth the money we paid.
Pros:

The beds were comfortable. The front desk person was very nice each time we went to the desk.

Cons:

The breakfast area is to crowded. There is not enough room to navigate through several people. Not a huge variety on breakfast. The door to our room was missing a chunk by the lock…being in a handicap room, I realize the shower is a little difficult to clean, however, it was in rough shape.

Avid made my stay in Hays as nice as I could be.
Pros:

I did not have the breakfast this time but in the past I have stayed there before and the breakfast was excellent.

Cons:

The door to 207 seemed to need to be pushed hard or slammed to latch correctly.

Wont stay here again - had Super 8s in better condition
Pros:

Breakfast was fine. It was quiet and close to the highway and food. Otherwise, not much more to like.

Cons:

Blinds were torn and would not go up. Air system would not blow cool air, only hot. Also made a horrible sound. Did not complain because I was leaving at 3am for work anyway, but I probably wont stay at this location again.

Filthy Experience
Pros:

After an eight hour day on the road I checked into what I anticipated would be a modern, comfortable hotel. The lobby and guest services were lovely, but I quickly discovered a filthy environment. My room showed signs of wear and tear, and dirt. There were stains in the shower, on the laminate floor, and the bedding.

The common area was unkempt too. At this point I decided to just try to sleep and leave as soon as I could. I departed at 2:30 a.m. Thank goodness it was quiet.

Neither IHG, or the hotel, would honor a request for a refund. Buyer beware. Photos attached. The value of this Hay, KS hotel is awful
