I stayed at this hotel May 21 - 22. Bathroom was very odd. Door swung inward and barely cleared the toilet, and when you open the door it completely covers the sink, vanity and mirror. You have to open the door, stand between the toilet and tub, then shut the door to use the sink. What kind of an idiot... More

We stayed at this hotel April 12-13. We find ourselves in Emporia frequently for sports competitions. I booked online a few months in advance and prepaid in order to get the reduced rate. When checking online a few weeks later, the price had even dropped more than what I prepaid. This was disappointing. When checking in, the receptionist was very... More

The hotel was right next to Pizza Ranch, which has the best broasted chicken around. The room was very comfortable, pillows and bed were good. Temperature was easily adjusted. They had some kind of sweet Danish when I checked in. A nice touch, very tasty. The wireless Internet was spotty. I think that just kind of goes with the hotel... More

I want to thank you for the great comments you made about the staff and the hotel. I would also like to apologize about the snow removal. I have spoke to the snow removal company and our maintenance staff about the importance of keeping the sidewalks cleared. Thank You, Kelli Mai More

This hotel is in a convenient location in Emporia, walking distance to several restaurants (IHOP, Pizza Hut, Pizza Ranch, a buffet) and Walmart (which in Emporia is a decent place to shop). The rooms were adequately large, with plenty of bedding. I appreciated the soft, firm and hard pillows (labeled!). They had a crib ready and waiting in the room... More

I have been staying at this hotel since Dec 3. One would expect that I would get some treatment beyond the one night stand traveler (literally). However, this is not the case with some of the desk staff, in particular, Christine, the manager. She is obnoxious and thinks that the customer works for her. Along those lines, one of her... More

What is it about Emporia, Kansas that entitles them to over charge for rooms? I paid an awful rate at this hotel to simply sleep for a few hours. The hotel was nothing special. It's not some place that I will remember next week, let alone the next time I am driving through the area. The room was spacious and... More
