Not recommending this place. One of the pillows cases was dirty (has not beed change), dirty bathtub (moldy spots on the bathtub mat), water in the bathtub wasn’t draining (imagine taking a shower and you have to stand in the water), leaky spots on the ceiling. Terrible.

Clean, basic hotel not far from KU

It was a clean, basic hotel. Room service is available if requested. Nothing fancy, but it was clean. The hot tub was not working, but they do allow pets ,and they do serve a basic breakfast.

The worst hotel - inflated prices for moms weekend

One star is generous. I stayed here for Mom’s Weekend, and it was one of the few hotels left—now I know why. I was placed in one of the motel-style buildings across the parking lot and told it’d be $50 more per night to be in the main hotel. The stairwells were full of trash, and I had to drag my luggage up to a second-floor room that smelled like water damage and mildew. The bedding was dirty, pillows smelled like body odor, and the bathroom was tiny with the toilet paper practically behind the door. Towels were threadbare, and the deadbolt didn’t work—I had to prop a chair against the door. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Think twice before booking.

So Gross!!!

We booked the hotel because it offered a hot tub, which there were only a few of them in the area. We checked in and asked about the hot tub. That is when we were told it was being filled with cement. The pool area was not very well maintained. We had booked a suite, which was a decent size room with a pullout couch. The mattress on the pull out was completely stained. No sheets or blankets were given to make up the pull out. There was a hole in the ceiling of the shower and the shampoo & conditioner offered was inadequate. The staff was not friendly and didn’t seem to care what condition the hotel was in. Overall this hotel was gross and I would never recommend it to anyone. I expected more for a $230 a night. I never leave reviews, but I had to on this one.

Nothing like the pictures online. Room given was actually in an annex disconnected from the main hotel, similar to a motel style. Room opened up to outside parking lot, on first floor and when expressed safety concern they couldn’t help or provide a room change. The room was dirty, run-down, things needed fixing that weren’t ever going to be, door handles falling off and un-patched holes in the wall, shower had pink staining in caulking and would not spray out of the main shower-head, old with a faint smell of smoke, but the worst were the sheets stained with body oil and blood. Asked them to change the sheets and provided them why and in what room- they wrote it down, I waited and they never came, apparently they went to the wrong room. Had to leave, provided my info again and they had them changed when I returned. If you need a room and there is nothing else I can see someone staying here but for the price for misleading photos, dirty sheets, and the potentially unsafe room in a disconnected annex motel style you won’t catch me ever going there again. On a positive note the location is near lots of restaurants and right off of a main road and was surprisingly quiet.

The key cards didn’t work (twice!), the shower head didn’t work. They switched me to another room with a ripped comforter, dirty bathroom floor, and multiple stained towels. It’s outdated and dirty all around. The vending machine is completely empty and there’s no room service at all. They refused to print me a receipt as well.

Hotel was clean and the beds were pretty comfortable! The front desk worker was also the breakfast attendant! The breakfast area was still messy at 1:00 pm.
