All I can say is damn I was really surprised at how much better rest stops are nowadays from what I remember as a kid! This one is climate controlled, clean, recently renovated, and felt safe. I mean we were there in the middle of the day, and I'm not sure I'd stop at any rest stop in the middle of the night, but this one was a good one. While I'm still more likely to stop at a gas station most times, if I need a stop and am near this one I wouldn't hesitate to stop here again.

Back then it really was an exemplary stop. Now, the Starbys is gone, there is no replacement, and it really feels aged and lackluster. Does it have decent bathrooms? Yes. Does it have basic necessities? sure. So, it's not a total loss, just kind of sad knowing what it was in the past and the current state of it. Because of this, it's no longer a place we will likely plan on stopping unless we need to in the future.

I like Towanda around rest stops. So what…read more Kansas has some pretty awful rest areas considering what a clean and sparsely populated state it is. This particular one has all kinds of issues. Firstly most of everything closes down at night so you are left with just a convenience store and a gas station. No food and nowhere to sit and no outlets. Which is one of the reasons I was coming here in the first place. Secondly the cops are patrolling all over here, which I suppose is good because it helps you stay safe, but they seemed especially curious about my presence here, and I felt a little creeped out. On the other hand I'm glad that they are keeping people safe while they are sleeping, and I really do like the layout of these rest areas that are in the middle of the highway. They can be a little treacherous for re-entry because you're entering and leaving the fast lane, but I do think it's a great idea to have the plaza be right in the middle and accessible from both sides.

It's nothing…read morefor you to get excited about, it's really supposed to just be a get and go type of situation. With that being said this one really ticked me off because I went to four different pumps before I could find one that actually worked. When there's 40 miles between this rest stop and the next gas station on a major traveled highway, you would think that they would do better in making sure that their pumps are repaired and working because people don't stop here for tourism and they certainly don't stop here because the food is good. They stop here for one reason and one reason only to gas up use the restroom and get back on the road. They should focus more on making sure that the needs of the customers are met then just trying to see how many people they can get to come inside. You were supposed to be a convenience to the public not a hindrance

They appear to be the same. There was a bit of shade and it was nice to walk around after using the restroom before continuing onwards. I did not see any signs prohibiting overnight parking. As a campervan driver, that's something I really care about. Though it was 1pm today and I've got a lot more driving to do before I'm done today. Oh, and there's a free sanitary dump.

Hotel staff - 10 stars! Very helpful and friendly…read more Cleanliness of room- 2 stars, I'm sorry to say it actually felt gross here. Lots of cracked bathroom tiles, stains on the carpet and walls. The ac unit in our room was spewing black dust, fuzz and ash all over the bed every day. It was bad and really needs to be cleaned!! That's kind of the issue with this place, everything needs a deep cleaning. Pool and spa- 8 stars. It was nice and we enjoyed the hot tub! Breakfast was exactly what you would expect for a hotel. The breakfast was nice and the area was clean. Noise level here was terrible and we found it difficult to sleep. I think it's due to the cheep/thin windows. We were kept awake all night by freeway noise. This place is RIGHT NEXT to a major freeway, so it's jake breaks all night long. And then you'll wake up to voices in the hall outside your room because there are gaps in the door frame letting in all the noise from the hallway. The noise level here is the main reason for the 2 star rating.

And this one didn't meet that standard. Beds: 0 I booked a bedroom with 2 queen beds. The beds are NOT queens. My kids sleep in queens beds at home and we know what queen size is. These are full/double beds! It was a VERY restless night!!! Breakfast: 2 Pancakes are good BUT the eggs tastes like cardboard. Hospitality of morning front desk lady: 0 Seriously, I very rarely see racists BUT this one is definitely one. She said good morning to about every other person except me (even though I greeted her first and she just flat stared at me like I'm some buffoon). I'm the only brown woman in the sea of white people. And don't get me wrong, I'm married to a white guy for 12 years and counting! I'm very rarely treated this way. Hospitality of the cleaning lady: 5 Very sweet, respectful, and someone that brings smiles to your face first thing in the morning! Isn't it amazing that as people rise up in ranks, the more of an idiot they become?! In the hospitality business, I think the cleaning lady should be on the front desk and this smug-faced front desk lady should be scrubbing the floors.

This was the best one I've stayed at! Hands down. I'm not exaggerating when I say the room itself was on par with a full service Marriott. Bonus: the parking lot was super well lit! I felt totally safe coming and going to walk my service dog. And the staff were lovely too! While the hotel has the same footprint as every other Fairfield, this one feels so fresh, new, clean, and with a contemporary twist on the classic Fairfield brand standards that we're all used to. Really enjoyed not having to check in and being able to go directly to my room with the mobile key actually functioning for once. Breakfast was same as it is at every other Fairfield.

My favorite hotel in McPherson!…read more Nicely located near the highway but tucked away to avoid all the main drag traffic. This location is about 6 years old but looks and smells new. Rooms are traditional and nothing spectacular but they are clean, well kept and they smell nice. The king suite has an extra seating area with a couch and work station which is nice. Two big tv's if that's matters and a small fridge and plenty of storage and plugs for devices. Near this hotel is a variety of fast food restaurants, Flyjng J gas station, Walmart, Bomgars, Starbucks and a quick five minutes to downtown McPherson. You can still get a room for $94/night on occasion but rarely over $130/night. Breakfast is to avoid because it's all processed but there is a decent gym and a pool which I have never used. There is a small concessions area near the front with a very limited selection of food and sundries. Angel is the manager and she is great to work with groups and deliver great customer service.

Housekeeping told us they were too understaffed to change our sheets or clean the room. I don't even know what we're paying for at this point. If we wanted new towels, we had to bring our used towels to the front desk and swap them out. Like at a HOSTEL. Unless they rehab this whole place and hire competent and professional staff/management/owners who take pride in their property....just go elsewhere. I also want to add that their website is FRAUDULENT. The rooms are absolutely NOT remodeled. They are patched beyond what is acceptable. There are absolutely NO WALK-IN SHOWERS OR RAINFALL SHOWERHEADS and every room does NOT have a fridge and a microwave. How do I know? Because I asked and was told that they don't have enough to go around. Our room had a fridge and we were told a microwave would be put in our room the next day. Did we get one? Nope. The chair that was in our room was stained and questionable enough that I wouldn't sit on it. We did get that switched out. And the pool area is CLOSED indefinitely. ZERO rooms have balconies or prairie views. You are not staying at some charming Bed and Breakfast out of a fairytale. Honestly, this place could be so lovely if the Patels took pride in their property instead of half-assing repairs and lying on their website. Shameful.
