The nice man at the front desk upgraded us to a jacuzzi room. It's not a pool but it was the next best thing. The room was huge and the jacuzzi was a lot of fun for my son. The place is a bit outdated and there is wear and tear, but it's not an expensive hotel and the customer service was spot on. Breakfast was ready at 5am which was perfect for us as we needed to leave around that time. It was surprisingly good and not just packages food. There was a make your own waffle station and the biscuits and gravy were really good. We left well rested and full. I slept on the pull out couch which was pretty much as expected but comfortable enough if you find the right spot. My parents said the king size bed was comfortable. We've been traveling cross country and stayed in higher rated hotels, but this one was my favorite. The friendliness really makes a difference. I'll stay here again for sure if I travel through the area again.

In other…read morewords, it was about lunch time, we were hungry, and fast food chains just weren't doing it for us. We saw the sign for the Sportsman Lodge and followed the road to place (though we did drive by and have to turn around - it's easy to miss)! The parking lot was small but I get the feeling that's appropriate since Bigelow's sign said it had a population of about 38. The restaurant is in an old school house which is totally neat. The restaurant/bar is on the first second floor. There are some pretty neat pictures in there and old articles about the building line the stairways. The upstairs (which we peeked around in) had a poker table and a pool table and felt a bit more like a bar. My dining companion ate something which dared him to eat it off the menu. It was called The Field and was brisket with fries and slaw on the bun. He devoured it, juices and all dripping down his arms. He was quite the satisfied "sportsman." I chose The Haystack. It advertises itself as a grilled steak with cheese. And that's what it was. A steak (not sliced or anything) topped with cheese on a bun. It was pretty good, though the steak was a little tough which made it hard to eat in sandwich form. The staff was welcoming and friendly to people quite clearly passing through. I imagine if you were a hunter or visiting the nearby wildlife refuge, this place would be awesome. If we were passing through, I'm sure we'd eat here again.

A very quaint farmhouse that has been updated with all the modern conveniences yet the peace of days past. The owner, Aunt Martha, is very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are very comfortable and clean. And breakfast was really yummy. We will definitely stay there again when we need to be in the area and recommend it highly. It's a delight to stay there and soooo much better than the other choices of very old motels nearby.

This hotel is only a 2-star? It's a premium 3 star experience if you ask me…read more There is a heated pool and low cost laundry service available. Seating near the pool is great for those not looking to swim. There is even an small outdoor area. The complimentary breakfast offered by this hotel is great. I could tell it was very well managed and staff enjoyed talking to guests. Honestly, it's so good that it makes the breakfast options at even more expensive Kansas City hotels look very poor. The rooms were clean and while not needed, it was great to see the accessibility options the hotel has in tub shower (even non-handicap rooms). The complimentary fridge, safe, and closet were nice amenities. My wife booked this stay and I'll admit, at first I thought I had some better options in town -- but this stay was a very pleasant surprise. I plan to stay here from now on when I visit. It was a great stay with kids.

Bagels, English muffin, different kinds of bread available. There is a pancake machine but I didn't like that as much. Warm cinnamon rolls, eggs, bacon and sausage also available. Milk, juice, coffee and water for drinks. All for free. Staff is attentive to make sure nothing runs out. Lots of places to sit and enjoy breakfast. Rooms are clean. TV is a good size and uses Direct TV so lots of channel options, including HBO. Bed and pillows are comfortable. Pillows are king size with firm and soft options. Fitness center is really small and usually quite warm but it does the job. I found a nice country road to run, just past the Kawasaki plant, which I prefer instead.

Traveling here on business, this is a wonderful alternative to the several local hotels. With a motto of "Come here as a guest, and leave as family." -- it's more than true after my 3-day stay. Super comfy bed, and very quiet -- I slept just great! Lots of extra blankets and pillows if needed. Each room has the comforts of your own TV with cable, but I felt more than welcome to be downstairs in the main room with the big-screen TV, a large fireplace, and lots of seating/recliner choices. Free wifi/internet is provided. For breakfast, Carol and Ron both chip-in and provide an excellent breakfast. There are 4 or more choices to choose from, and the night before - just place your order and time - and it'll be ready. I recommend Carol's special scrambled eggs (bacon, cheese, peppers, onions) - awesome! Because of the time of year, it didn't happened to have many other guests. The one downside - it has a shared bathroom. There are several bathrooms within the lodge, so I guess it wouldn't be too much of a problem. The highlight of the time spent here was getting to know the very sweet people of Ron and Carol. They are warm, open, kind, and generous people who are in the right business of serving others and sharing their home.
