The room was clean, and there was plenty of hot water. That said, this little motel is really sad and in desperate need of some updating. The staff were friendly, but barely spoke English. The area is really quiet and peaceful. Except for Casey's, which does open till 7 am, there isn't much in the way of restaurants. Fortunately, Saline is only a twenty-minute drive.

We stayed here because there were severe storm warnings in our original destination. It's a family owned hotel, older building, very vintage, nothing fancy but the rooms and sheets were clean and comfy and that is truly all we needed. All necessary amenities provided. The price was excellent. Minneapolis, KS felt like a quiet small farm town community and very safe.

Not fancy. Clean enough: no bugs noted; shower seemed clean; decent mattress. Way too large pillows - bring your own.

Nothing really good to say, maintenance was questionable at best, old non running vehicles on property, the older ladies at the front desk should realize that in a public business, the '70's aren't here anymore and that a bra should be worn when checking in clientele. Using concrete mortar caulking is not the proper material to be used sealing vanity tops and tubs to walls. No dead bolt or security chain on the door for added security. No apparent curfew, had customers in room next to mine grilling outside and playing loud music well past midnight.

Needs to be completely updated, carpets are stained and dirty. Beds show to be old with depressions from over use. Rooms where dark, lighting was old. They did come in and clean every other day, change out towels. Old school locks with regular metal keys. Asked about an ice maker I was pointed to the fridge there personal one. It didnt produce much ice. Great water pressure warter stayed hot. Unfortunately I will not be going back.

We were double booked on their website by two different booking agencies. I thought I was talking directly to the hotel (number was provided on hotel website) instead it was another booking agency and they double booked me. Hotel refuses to refund my money. Big scam!Watch out!

The lock on the door worked fine. The coffee maker work3d fine. The bed held us up no matter how hard we worked it over. She enjoyed the extra pillow under her. The bed is just the right height to stand beside. The walls must have great insulation as we got no noise complaints.

We ended up leaving and losing all our money as the hotel would not refund us. There were dead bugs all over the room, the sheets were thread bare and looked extremely old and unsanitary. The wallpaper was peeling off the walls, the ceiling had prior water damage and was cracked and peeling as well. The carpet was stained… overall the building was in extreme disrepair. None of us felt comfortable laying down on the beds or setting our belonging on the floor.

I reserved this property for our employees to stay in while working in Minneapolis. My employees went to check in and the lady(owner) wouldn’t let them check in because she said the rate that Expedia charged me wasn’t correct and she refuses to give rooms to me for that price. She was screaming at me. I asked her if I could pay the difference as there are no other properties in the town and she said no that she didn’t have any rooms. She hung up on me twice, very rude and wouldn’t even let me talk. I had to end up calling Expedia to get refund and booking rooms in Salina for my employees. Will never even attempt to stay at this property again.

A good handyman for repairs and proper touchups would make a large difference. The room was clean although the repairs needed gave a different feeling.

Marginal Value

It was a good price and reasonably clean. The room was hot when I arrived. The A/C was noisy and was not cooling the room. I talked with the manager. She said I did not set it correctly. She said to set it to 61 to get it to cool to 75. It still did not cool properly. The A/C outside drain was plugged, so the air inside was musty. Also, the light over the bed was not working. I did leave a message with the tip for the cleaning person.

The next afternoon the manager accused me of being dishonest because we used both beds in the room she gave us. She wanted me to pay more money for using both beds. I
