I stayed here a few years ago and it was decent, so I decided to stay again. It has been remodeled and it has improved drastically. The front desk clerk was very nice and helped in every way that he could. Everything else was average, I mean, I did pay 45 dollars, so it would be foolish of me to... More

All around a terrible establishment. There's no way around it, this place just isn't good. Either find a nicer hotel, or keep driving. Unfortunately, I "settled" too early. There's way better around the corner (near the highway). More

Nothing fancy here, just a well priced pet-friendly motel. Room was clean and quiet. Wifi was good. Breakfast included eggs as well as the usual carbos, so that was a plus. More

My wife and I stayed here to cut a long drive in half, so the purpose of the stay was to get some sleep. Unfortunately, we had a more eventful night than we had hoped. However, what happened was probably a complete fluke, so I can't *really* blame the hotel. At midnight, I noticed the chirp of a smoke alarm... More

I believe this hotel is now called the EconoLodge rather than Knights Inn. The hotel is older but clean. The decor is a little tired but ok. The beds were queen sized and comfortable. The shower was hot and seemed to have enough pressure for me. Breakfast was good- Cook yourself waffles (with good syrup!), cereal, pastries, juice, breads/toast and... More

Hays is an expensive motel town. We got a good rate for a quick stayover on our way to ski CO. This was described as a 2 star hotel on the web site I used. NO WAY. Two stars are fine, and we didn't expect much, but the place was filthy, noisy, seedy, smelly, disgusting and I think we were... More

Motel 6 across the street was the same rate for fewer perks. Room had a king size bed, very clean, nice bath and staff was very helpful. Remote for TV did not work, but was replaced immediately by front desk. Micro and fridge in room and internet connection was awesome. Nice little chair and ottoman in room. We have stayed... More

This hotel isn't much cheaper than the other hotels in town, but it should be considering how dirty it is. I wish I had paid 5$ more and stayed somewhere decent., In case you really want to save $5, here is what you can expect: dirty hallways, off-smelling room, poor wireless, small and poor-quality breakfast, junky shower with lame pressure,...

We stayed at the Econo Lodge in Hayes Kansas on our way to Copper Mountain to ski for Christmas this year. NO HOT WATER AND WE HAD TO CHANGE OUR OWN SHEETS AFTER DISCOVERING SOMEONE ELSES BODY PRINT ON THE BED. I asked to speak to a manager when checking out - no luck. I have called 3 times since... More
