We stop in Hays when driving from Oklahoma City to Denver. This was by far the worst hotel we have stayed at.
I made the mistake of using Priceline for this area and this is what we got - at a higher rate than we could have gotten through AAA.

When we checked in, they initially put us in 2 rooms, half a building apart. When we got into the room I had to kill a few bugs and usher moths out of the room.

The air conditioner is so loud you would think it was a refrigerator with a compressor that was going out.

We stayed at this Baymont Inn on our way to Denver...wow were we surprised by the customer service!! It is hard to find great customer service anywhere anymore and I found it on this trip!! Very friendly and very helpful. This was from the desk clerk to the housekeeping staff! Kuddo's to the management and to the owners!

Booked hotel on priceline. After my bid was "accepted", I saw it was Baymont Inn. I have had another issue with a bad Baymont Inn in Tulsa (yeah, exciting cities I get to go see) and was nervous about this one. I knew the hotel from previous travels to Hays and knew it wasn't the best hotel and priceline has this as a 2 star. Well...it isn't. I even called priceline the day I had my bid accepted and said their assessment of Baymont Inn as a 2 star is way off. So with priceline's fabulous customer service, they said stick it. Checked in today and noted the exterior entryways (ugh) and the musty smell to the lobby. The pc and printer setup in the lobby is their "Business Center". I opened the fridge in my room and the concierge service here was kind enough to leave a half eaten container of Weight Watchers Yogurt for me. How did they know??? This is an old hotel and needs drastic cleaning. I pulled back the bed to access the plug in by the bed and saw an old remote and tons of dirt, dust and hair on the bed skirt under the mattress. I will upload pics and you will see what I saw. There was a black jelly bean on the floor by the nightstand which any chamber maid should be able to see.

Our room smelled musty, the service was poor. Our sheets had a stain on them, and when we placed our card on them (indicating that we wanted the sheets changed), they did not change them. Instead, they just remade the bed with the dirty/soiled sheets.
Breakfast was OK, but no fruit and the gravy came from gallon cans (the storeroom door was left open while we ate).
Overpriced, rundown, poor service. While checking in, the young lady istated that the man on tv being charged for murder should "be burned." I'll never stay here again ever, and I am from this part of Kansas. We'll stay across the street at the Super 8 any day, and for half the price.
