If you are traveling on I-70, this town is your only overnight option in the center of the state. Unfortunately, most of the motels are all clustered in a very bright and noisy end of town. I guess all the properties share this problem.

This property did NOT have a discount available for booking online, as most other Motel 6's do, but there's a 10% discount as a walk-in. (??) It was about 10.00 higher than all the other Motel 6's I stayed in this week, even with the special rate.

PROS: Very friendly check-in. New bed linens. Clean bathroom with nice, clean tub. Table for eating at in addition to the desk and chair. Starbucks and Steak N Shake share the same parking lot--great for dinner and morning coffee.

CONS: Advertised a donut breakfast. No donuts in the AM--just coffee and a crabby front desk person. (Other motels offer free breakfast and their rates are cheaper). VERY NOISY in the morning. Parking outside door, so you could hear cars idling and doors slamming from 5 AM until we left at 8 AM.

If you're traveling with a dog, the area is very busy--lots of cars, asphalt, etc. But there are places to walk the pet. Be sure to keep the dog leashed. It would be easy for a dog to get out the first-floor door and into the very busy parking lot full of activity.
