“Don't do it.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 February 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Hays is an expensive motel town. We got a good rate for a quick stayover on our way to ski CO. This was described as a 2 star hotel on the web site I used. NO WAY. Two stars are fine, and we didn't expect much, but the place was filthy, noisy, seedy, smelly, disgusting and I think we were the only people in the place who spoke English. Any amount paid is too much.

“Not Bad For The Price”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 September 2010

Motel 6 across the street was the same rate for fewer perks. Room had a king size bed, very clean, nice bath and staff was very helpful. Remote for TV did not work, but was replaced immediately by front desk. Micro and fridge in room and internet connection was awesome. Nice little chair and ottoman in room. We have stayed at several motels this summer while on vacation and this motel was by far as nice as any we have stayed in for under $60 per night, two adults. Would recommend.

“Dirty and only slightly less expensive - don't stay here”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2010

person found this review helpful

This hotel isn't much cheaper than the other hotels in town, but it should be considering how dirty it is. I wish I had paid 5$ more and stayed somewhere decent.,

In case you really want to save $5, here is what you can expect: dirty hallways, off-smelling room, poor wireless, small and poor-quality breakfast, junky shower with lame pressure, seedy feeling throughout. Yuck.

“It is still the worst place in Hays Kansas to stay!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 December 2009

We stayed at the Econo Lodge in Hayes Kansas on our way to Copper Mountain to ski for Christmas this year. NO HOT WATER AND WE HAD TO CHANGE OUR OWN SHEETS AFTER DISCOVERING SOMEONE ELSES BODY PRINT ON THE BED. I asked to speak to a manager when checking out - no luck. I have called 3 times since and been told that the manager will not be in until Monday the 28th. I vowed to let ev ery person on earth know how sickening this motel is.

“This is the nastiest place we have ever stayed at!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2009
1
person found this review helpful

In the hotel travel book, it said new rooms, coffee in the rooms, etc.etc. New room!!! Where? The chain lock on the door was broke, the bathrrom was nasty!!! The shower, shower curtain, and tub were all moldy and to top all that off there was a roach in the bathroom. There is noway I would recomend this "hole" to anyone. Just keep driving or stay in your car.
