We arrived after a long day of driving from Denver and were able to snag a room with a Queen bed for $50 flat. I was actually quoted $55 with tax but later received a call that they would bring it down to $50. Sweet! There seemed to be some confusion when getting my info from the call. When we got there, it turns out that a couple from West Virginia took over a few weeks ago and was still working out the kinks of running the motel. The couple is very kind and are clearly making the best of their new situation. They offered us coffee in the morning, and left a thank you note on our windshield in case we left without saying bye. They're friendly and will definitely make you felt taken care of during your stay! The room was very clean, and the bed was comfortable. The decor may be a little outdated, but it's great for a $50 good night's rest. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a spot to spend the night in Western Kansas.

We chose this place because of its MCM design, and we were not disappointed. Although some of the…read morefurnishings were necessarily updated it still had a lot that was period correct as well. The yellow ceramic tile in the bathroom was awesome as well as the asphalt floor tile. However the first thing I noticed when I opened the door to the room was how clean the carpet was. The rest of the room was clean and comfortable as well, even had that springy mattress that we used to love to jump on as kids. The bed was comfortable as well. The owners are just as nice as can be and will recommend the best place in town to eat. We will stay here again should the the opportunity arise.

At first glance this is an older campground that has seen its years, but it's actually quite nice!…read more The sites are a good size, very level and beautiful views of the fields to the west. The washrooms are very spacious, code locked for security reasons and very clean. A great perk is the restaurant just outside with delicious Mexican cuisine. Walking distance to a margarita is very civilized! All in all, I would absolutely recommend this campground.

**Campground Review:**…read more I recently stayed at a campground conveniently located right off the highway, making it an ideal stop for road trippers. The common areas were impeccably clean, providing a welcoming and comfortable environment for all guests. One of the highlights was the delicious pizza available on-site, which was a pleasant surprise and a real treat after a day of travel. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly, always ready to assist with any questions or needs. Overall, this campground exceeded my expectations and made for a delightful stay. Highly recommended! BONUS*** there's a geocache loaded with tons of signatures and tradable.

It looks from the outside a little outdated, but when you come inside the rooms it's a whole different story. Very sizable and clean rooms very well decorated, clean comfortable beds frigerator microwave coffee maker and an excellent Wi-Fi and cable system. I have stayed really expensive motels aren't as nice as this has got a nice little homey warm feel to it that you don't see everyday. Beds are very comfortable. The owners are very nice people good loving warm Christian people that go out of their way to treat people good and help people. If you folks travel on east and west on I-70 going to the town of Oakley Kansas, you should definitely make this your designated stop. Very peaceful and quiet, and totally affordable for The budget-minded traveler. Full service truck stop just a 200 yards up the road Thumbs up to another little Hidden Gem of a motel that is totally American owned and operated. Let's support our mom and pop businesses and motels, is that the American thing to do. Thumbs up to this decent little place please pay at homage and give it all the business it can get.

There are nicer hotels along I-70. There may even be a few cheaper hotels, as well. But none are as…read morememorable as the Free Breakfast Inn. It's the classic "off-ramp inn", with a dirt parking lot, older buildings, a old lady and her dog as your hosts, entrance pillars re-located from Denver's old Villa Italia Mall, plus a giant stuffed animal in your room. Not to mention the vintage 70's furniture, rug and paneling. In short, if you stay here I can almost guarantee you'll be telling friends about it. Whether those stories are good or bad are up to you (mine are "good"). You need to be in a jovial, adventurous mood before checking in. As a cool bonus, the Free Breakfast Inn gives you...well, a Free Breakfast. Across the highway at the Colonial Inn, your voucher entitles you to two pancakes, two eggs and coffee (basically, meat's extra). The Colonial Inn is another classic off-ramp institution (they even had those old IQ tester peg games at their tables!). Heck, both of these establishments are located at the same exit as the infamous "World's Largest Prairie Dog". That should tell you all you need to know! I stayed here my first night away from Denver on a road trip to St. Louis. The other nights I ended up at chain hotels-- all were equally forgettable. But on my way back to Denver, I passed the Oakley exit of the Free Breakfast Inn...and felt like tooting my horn to say "thanks".
