For the rate this was an excellent hotel. I was delighted to find a king bed and full-sized bathroom. The included breakfast of staples like cereal and biscuits was an added bonus.
The rooms are large and very clean. The staff are very customer friendly and being located right off I70 is ideal for travelers. There is an indoor pool and hot tub.
Every time we come through Salina Ks we try to stay here. The beds are comfortable, rooms are clean, an the staff is always so nice! The manager is absolutely hilarious. Oh an they expect our service animals without a fee. They have a good breakfast too. They have pilot car rates an have room for a couple 18 wheelers to park if done right. Plus they are right next to a truck stop for easy parking too.
Best breakfast on my trip, hot biscuits with sausage gravy. My room was large and clean. There was a recliner, if my husband had been with me, it would have been a real plus.
Rooms were large and comfortable. The staff was awesome. Stayed about 10 days in October and was always greeted with a smile. I'll be back next time I'm in Salina.
Very nice inn. The gentleman at the front desk was such a delight to be around. Very kind. Nice rooms, they are big. Cozy and comfortable. Great place to bring kids. Both my children loved it this economy lodge and they are both under 5!
Been staying here for months when I come out here. Always a good price and the rooms are very updated and nice. Garry the man who works the night shift is literally one of my favorite people of all time.
Easy checkin/out. Awesome rate. Pet friendly. Front desk was clean, no waiting. Friendly, personable staff. Clean room/bathroom. Comfortable beds. Flat screen TV. Microwave/mini fridge.
My husband and I stayed one night here on our way back west! We were greeted by the nicest man that was working the night shift! The rooms seemed recently updated and were clean! Perfect one night stop for only about $50! Our king bed was super comfortable! The continental breakfast the next morning was great! Waffles, biscuits and gravy, fruit, cereal, etc! Perfect stopping point for us when we are coming to Kansas and will stop again!
A kind and helpful lobby hostess at check-in. She gave me a true AAA discount. The room was clean and spacious with a comfortable bed. A good value based room for one night's stay. Thanks!
