Like the fact that we can park in front of our door. Room seemed fairly clean. They had YouTube TV, which was fun. Beds were clean and comfortable. Asked for more pillows since theirs were pretty flat, but they didn't have any that were clean so I ended up sleeping on a backpack. Bad parts don't sit on the couch. It was filthy totally covered in stains as seen by the pictures that I will be posted. Also when we went to take our showers in the morning, they were totally out of hot water, which after a day on the road, we were kind of looking forward to taking a shower, but had to settle with washcloths. Breakfast biscuits and gravy were good as well as the Egg scramble. Stay away from the hard boiled eggs. I don't know what was up with those but the whites were total mush, and it was pretty gross.

Chuck and Barbra are knowledgeable, and are connected in the fossil world all over. They've lectured across the U.S., and have friends in serious places, like at New York's Museum of Natural History. I mostly enjoyed the conversation, and when Chuck explained some of the fossils and murals, I appreciated them much more than I would have otherwise. If you're a museum type, check this out.

The volunteer staffing the visitor's center was a very pleasant, very informative lady. She were very personable and I had trouble pulling y wife out of the visitor's center. The lady was VERY PROUD of Colby and was a real civic promoter. She recommended a number of sites and activities in and around Colby.

Made it out to Monument Rocks and back successfully and with confidence thanks to the Visitor Center! PS: I speak from experience - don't ever try to visit Kansas Castle Rock or any site on an unpaved road unless road conditions are perfect and you are driving an off-road vehicle. You've been warned! I'm sure the Visitors Center would have helped me decide not to go there!

We arrived after a long day of driving from Denver and were able to snag a room with a Queen bed for $50 flat. I was actually quoted $55 with tax but later received a call that they would bring it down to $50. Sweet! There seemed to be some confusion when getting my info from the call. When we got there, it turns out that a couple from West Virginia took over a few weeks ago and was still working out the kinks of running the motel. The couple is very kind and are clearly making the best of their new situation. They offered us coffee in the morning, and left a thank you note on our windshield in case we left without saying bye. They're friendly and will definitely make you felt taken care of during your stay! The room was very clean, and the bed was comfortable. The decor may be a little outdated, but it's great for a $50 good night's rest. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a spot to spend the night in Western Kansas.

The yellow ceramic tile in the bathroom was awesome as well as the asphalt floor tile. However the first thing I noticed when I opened the door to the room was how clean the carpet was. The rest of the room was clean and comfortable as well, even had that springy mattress that we used to love to jump on as kids. The bed was comfortable as well. The owners are just as nice as can be and will recommend the best place in town to eat. We will stay here again should the the opportunity arise.
