At $80 a night you can't beat it. My room had a small fridge and microwave. A good clean, quiet and cheap place to stay.

    Although the Post Rock Motel is rough around the edges, and is by no means a five-star hotel, I am…read moregiving it five stars primarily because its owner and administrator went above and beyond the call of duty to accommodate us when my wife (Libertad Green) and I were stranded near Lincoln, Kansas en route to California. Jared Spear owns the towing company and mechanic shop which towed and repaired our six-wheel, two-axle, Chevrolet box van. His assistant, Lisa, helped load our van on the tow truck, and checked us into to the Post Rock Motel, also owned by Jared Spear. This is a disturbing conflict of interest. We wondered why Mr. Spear would ever bother to repair our truck while we were paying him rent at his/the only motel in town. However, he repaired our truck in a reasonable amount of time, and we were able to finish our journey to California and back to Virginia. Meanwhile, without us saying a word, Mr. Spear lent us a vehicle free of charge to get around town. Also, when I asked Lisa for a desk or table to put our laptops on, she had one set up for us by the time we returned for lunch. She gave us her personal cell phone number in case we ever had any other emergency or needed anything else. We have never received better, more attentive service anywhere else. The bathroom was particularly adorable, with a tiny window at the back, with small Venetian blinds and a view of the road behind the hotel, and a cafe across it. The floor tiles, mostly yellow, were laid in a unique, cheery pattern which seemed to make our confinement significantly more pleasant. Our maids, a Cuban lady and her daughter, were also very attentive and pleasant. The mother told us she felt as if family members were moving away the day we loaded our box and departed. Lisa gave my wife one of the motel's T-shirts for her birthday, and charged us a reduced, weekly rate. Although I have stayed in many hotels and State rooms of higher caliber than the Post Rock Motel, all around the world, the service at this motel is unprecedented, and, although I may never to return to Lincoln, Kansas, it will always have a dear, special place in our hearts.

    A good friend of mine and I drove from Texas to Kansas in the early part of January for a guided…read morepredator hunt by Mr Rader. I am by no means an expert predator hunter but have been predator hunting for over 40 years. I thought it would be nice to come to Kansas and be guided. I've always wanted to hunt in Kansas and did not have any contacts so I hired this "guide"service. Mr. Rader does not know much about predator hunting. As most of you know, it's important to be down wind from whatever you're hunting, especially coyotes. This was not an important factor to him whatsoever. And when brought to his attention, in a very diplomatic way (to begin with),he simply ignored me. It is also important to get to your hunting quietly , without using bright lights. This was not a factor for him either as every time we walked into an area to hunt on the first night he had a bright white headlight that he used while walking into the area where we were hunting and to put the call out. That was a bad deal, coupled, with the fact that he had no thermal optic to observe what was going on while attempting to call in coyotes and would have to talk to us the whole time in a loud voice, which was also a dead giveaway. If you decide to use this guide service, don't expect to go to each location with him in a hunting vehicle that he provides. I did not know this and had to take my suburban into some of the worst stuff you can imagine. If I had known, I would have brought my hunting vehicle. The locations that we hunted had been hunted many times And the coyotes "educated". But, after hunting for about five hours the first night we did manage to call in and kill two coyotes when he finally put us on locations with the proper wind direction. On the second night, we followed him to several locations where he allowed us to hunt while he just stayed in the truck. We saw nothing the second night. He has a very nice demeanor, but has no business, holding himself out as a predator hunting guide and taking people's money. This hunt was a rip off. The only reason he gets one star is because that's the lowest review can be given. Review given on 1/14/26 by Bill Morian, Jasper, Texas.

    Went on my first trip with Rader lodge this year and had a great time! we killed plenty of pheasant…read moreand even got into several covey of quail. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to get into some good hunting in Kansas!
