This place should not be standing, let alone operating! My stay at this establishment went from bad to worse in a matter of only an hour. Upon arrival, I was put into a smoking room, complete with an ashtray and the odor of stale smoke. I was told the room was in fact a non-smoking room and having a child with asthma, I still insisted I be moved. The SECOND room was just down a few doors with a door that literally could not be opened. The clerk's 'friend' was sent down with me to 'show me how to open the door'. The instructions were given to me 'slowly turn the handle upright, while pushing hard in the center and up a little'. She tried four times and it worked once. Next. The THIRD room I was accomodated in opened fine, was located on the end of the hotel 'near the construction guys' as the clerk so put it. It was a nicely accomodated room, as far as I could tell. My daughter and I briefly left to go to the store and upon returning, our room was still very warm, despite the AC running for an hour. Its August. In Kansas...come on. Next. The FOURTH and final room was above all, the most horrifying nighttime experience of my life. Very stained carpet and the rubber baseboard was peeling down from the wall, exposing very ugly things. There were many places where the floor met the wall that were large gaping holes, leading to who knows where? Looked like Jerry's home frome Tom & Jerry. Fixures were barely placed on the walls in the bathroom and it was utterly a mess. Finally the last detail is almost too unbearable to type but I will. My daughter and I had visitors all night. Yes, you guessed it. Cockroaches. I cannot tell you how many I killed. We left the lights on all night and sprayed bug spray around our beds and luggage. I got zero sleep - and we both are in a wedding on the following day. Wow. You are really not going to believe the next part: When we went down to cancel our reservation for the next night's stay (duh), the clerk KNEW that room had been infested and treated for roaches!!!! Yes! The night clerks were NOT supposed to book that room out to guests!!! He tried to offer me another room that would 'meet my expectations'.....right! All of the wedding guests that were supposed to stay there cancelled their rooms and booked elsewhere. I cannot tell you how far away you should stay from this place. It shouldn't even be open.
