Very nice hotel nice amenities nice rooms good breakfast. Unfortunately, I checked into the room and the room is only partially cleaned. There were dirty towels on the bathroom sink. The trash cans have not been emptied. I was tired enough. I didn’t wanna go down the complain. Just the maid didn’t finish cleaning the room, which is surprising.

If you can drive 15 minutes away from this place to get another room do it!!! This place has very few rooms left for people just needing a place to stay for a night. Other than that it has residence that live there. No breakfast or coffee like the pictures show and it's not because they are remodeling it's because they let people live there so not going to provide anything free. Like I said RUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNNNNN DON'T WALK AWAY FROM HERE

Wasn't expecting much for the price. However, when you say you have a continental breakfast available on your site, offer one. At least have coffee. Also advertised free wi-fi which was correct for the first hour. After that you had to pay. Again, wasn't expecting a lot for the price but at least provide what you say you are going provide. Seemed like a real shady operation.

Repairs need to be made. Shower head was loose from the wall and you couldn't adjust the temperature of the water. Warped hallway floor making walking treacherous. Smoke alarm removed from the room. No breakfast, not even coffee. A continental breakfast was listed online. Staff was very helpful when I asked for an extra towel.

Couldn’t hear through the plexiglass-glass window or understand the man. The lady came out and was great. Hall to room needs repaired. Door key worked fine but door swollen. Hard to open. Room was cool. Air was turned on which was good. Stains on wall, crumbs on floor, hair on pillowcase and bathroom floor. Dirty spot on bedspread and pillow case. Called and they brought new pillows and pillow cases. The telephone that you have to use to call front desk was disgusting. the toilet belongs in a preschool. VERY low to the ground. Hard for the elderly or anyone with knee trouble. NOTHING FOR BREAKFAST AT ALL. Not even coffee or water. I could see the cereal containers with cereal spilled out inside the office with bananas that were too ripe. These were never brought out. There was no one at front desk at 7:30 AM to help. There was a fridge and microwave in the room so bring whatever you want to eat. I did not see any vending machines at all. You have to call them from a phone in the front lobby. This was the only motel in Baxter springs other than a bed and bath type which was much more expensive. We were there for a civil war reenactment.

Good place to just lay head and caught some ZZZZ's

It appears that they are updating the property with new flooring in the hallway & our bathroom. The room was clean, smoke detector was missing in our room, our reservation was for Queen size bed there was 2 full size beds. Breakfast: banana, box of donuts, cereal we choose to go across the street to Mc Dee for breakfast.

Struggled with choice for a night in Kansas while doing R66 so this was the only option on the road . Well situated for R66. Would I return -no . No tea/coffee facility . Did get ice though . Room was just about ok - clean and bed comfy . Struggled to turn on shower as tap was loose . Curtains hanging off the track . Best bit was pizza and a beer in Bricks and Brews a few minutes drive away . Great live music night .

I wanted to stay at a motel on route 66 and decided on Baxter Inn somewhat based on the photo submitted. When I pulled in, I saw the other sides of the building with part of the paneling falling off, etc. When I went inside and had to dial a phone number to get the front desk, it seemed odd. When I went into the room, I knew I had made a mistake. The musty smell was bad. I’m glad I had a can of spray, but that didn’t help much. I used probably a quarter of the can on the drapes, the floor, the bedding and the bathroom and left for three hours to come back and find it still smelled musty. I sprayed again and went to sleep to find it still smelled musty when I woke up.

The room and hallway were very musty stunk quite a lot. Room and bed were dirty, old furniture, bathroom had the ceiling cover off, ceiling tiles were extremely water stained and sink/mirror were bad as well. Would NOT recommend staying there.

So this is a Mom and Pop Hotel, but since Route 66 in Kansas is only a short drive, we really don't know how long it has existed. It is clean and comfy, but it is a young couple with a young family running the place, which may be a little much to handle. They were trying to host a small breakfast bar from 6 to 9, but at 6:45 no one had set it up so we went across the street and grabbed coffee at McDonald's and went on our way. There is good news, though, we tend to look for truckers staying at a place to know what is safe and clean and plenty of truckers stayed there.
