Landed at the airport at Chanute very late in the evening in early July 2016, having been prevented…read moreby weather from reaching Kansas City, and happy just to be on the ground. A couple of phonecalls later, and it had dawned on us that there was NO transportation to be hired in town. No taxi, no Uber, no city bus. Nothing. So there we were: a family with two young kids stranded in an unfamiliar town well after sunset with no way to get off the deserted airport. If I couldn't find a hotel that would shuttle us in, it would be a long, bleary walk in the dark. The manager of this hotel (Clayton, as I recall), was the friendly voice I needed to hear. As it turned out, none of the local hotels ran any kind of a shuttle, but I explained our situation, swallowed, and asked if there was any way he could arrange a ride for us. Whether out of the generosity of his nature, or a desire for a good Yelp review I can only guess, but this good man left his post at the front desk to drive out in his personal vehicle and rescue us. I really, really hope this review does not get him into trouble. On the way into Chanute, he gave us a late-night mini guided tour of the town, and drove us through McDonald's, which delighted our little girls (who hadn't had a proper meal since 7 AM Arizona time). So even if the hotel itself had been a dive, I would have had to give it a good review. BUT, when we got there, it turned out to be an unexpectedly cool old-time main street hotel, the kind with ornamented parapets and bronze lions standing guard on the curb, and an old hearth big enough to heat the odd-though-charming and comfortable lobby, which I will risk describing as Art Nouveau verging into Deco. Apparently what is now an Extended Stay goes back about a century, having been the town's very first hotel and a source of local pride, though eventually falling on hard times and going into eclipse before renovation leading up to the current ownership. The rooms, as some reviewers have indicated, reflect that long history; our room had a floor plan that would no longer be laid out in new construction, but which arguably compensates with that elusive quality called "character." Our room was actually two fairly small rooms that had been made into a mini suite, which worked very well for two adults and two kids. It was slightly tight, but we found everything to be perfectly clean and very comfortable. Although we were stranded, it all felt like an adventure, and like we were really on vacation and not just stuck somewhere. We sat on one of the beds and ate fast food, then crashed, so I can't say anything about TV. In the morning, we discovered we had a commanding view of the main street, and surrounding businesses. The included DIY breakfast was good: I had a waffle and the kids had cereal and fruit. The weather cleared and Clayton gave us a ride back to the airport (where we met the retired town dentist who flew over the Hump in WWII Indochina). Extremely thankful that this little gem exists in Chanute.
