Good place to just lay head and caught some ZZZZ's

It appears that they are updating the property with new flooring in the hallway & our bathroom. The room was clean, smoke detector was missing in our room, our reservation was for Queen size bed there was 2 full size beds. Breakfast: banana, box of donuts, cereal we choose to go across the street to Mc Dee for breakfast.

Repairs need to be made. Shower head was loose from the wall and you couldn't adjust the temperature of the water. Warped hallway floor making walking treacherous. Smoke alarm removed from the room. No breakfast, not even coffee. A continental breakfast was listed online. Staff was very helpful when I asked for an extra towel.

Struggled with choice for a night in Kansas while doing R66 so this was the only option on the road . Well situated for R66. Would I return -no . No tea/coffee facility . Did get ice though . Room was just about ok - clean and bed comfy . Struggled to turn on shower as tap was loose . Curtains hanging off the track . Best bit was pizza and a beer in Bricks and Brews a few minutes drive away . Great live music night .

Staff was friendly and attentive. Room was large. 1) I have never used such thin towels 2) Some of the fixtures were not great - the faucet handle came off in my hand, bureau was missing a drawer tront, sheets were stained 3) i chose this hotel because it offered breakfast. I had a choice of corn flakes, a banana or coffee.
