Although it is right off the highway, in the rooms I stayed at (I've been there twice) you couldn't here the traffic and bustle going on. It's in a great location for me because my family stops halfway in Wichita for our annual spring break Texas trip.
Cons: the hallways are a little "junky"
but the rooms are a lot nicer than the halls.

Over the past few years I've tried at least 6 of the moderate to inexpensive Wichita hotels without finding one I wanted to stay at a second time.

Until I tried the Days in and Suites on South Laura. After 4 stays, I have been happy every time. It has been reasonably priced & clean, and I have had nothing but positive experiences with the staff. Even the wifi works well. I will be returning in a few weeks.

It is nothing fancy, but it does a good job for what it is.

Since I had stayed here in 2006 and was allowed to check in early, I did it again in 2007. TWO desk people agreed that I would check in early and be charged for only one day/night. This location is not very convenient for me to visit the other places I had to go, but I stayed here ONLY because of this agreement.

When I checked out (before the official checkout time), I was charged DOUBLE the agreed-upon rate. After taking another hour for discussion with a desk clerk and assistant manager, the assistant manager refused to change it (she is the wife of the manager). I could see errors and deliberate changes on the original bill and other documents regarding dates, times, and agreed-upon rates, and saw her make changes even while I was watching.

I reported all this to corporate headquarters, and even though they investigated, they had to go by what the manager told and sent them.

I will stay at other Days Inns in the future, but NEVER at this one again. I will recommend that anyone who stays here should get ALL rates, dates, times, etc., in writing before staying, otherwise be prepared for this same kind of problem with being overcharged.

One evening and one night desk clerks were polite, considerate, and tried to be helpful. The others (days) were not.

Ok, to be fair, if you are staying at a Days Inn, you probably know what to expect, but I was here because I failed to book a room on a Wednesday night and could not find another room. My first 2 nights were at the Marriott Courtyard Old Town, which I thought was "nice". This hotel is right next to the Turnpike, and not much more. There must be a truck dock near, I heard the BEEPING of backing up trucks all night. Good thing I had two beds, because the stained linens in the first bed I was getting into were repulsive. I only had one ant craw on me, but that freaked me out the entire night thinking there were more. At about 10:30 pm, what sounded like a parking lot brawl between a lady and a man was clearly moved from the inside hallway to the parking lot by the hotel employee. The only way this hotel is 3 years old is if it was something else for the previous 20. If you are used to staying in a Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, Sheraton, etc...I'd pass on this one big time.
