    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.

    No one is here 24 hours a day. Bugs in the bed!! Will not refund your money even though there are…read morebugs in the bed!! Would only offer to move me to another room and a free night if I stay an extra night!! I will never come here again. Also, it's known as the Tioga hotel!!

    If you ever find yourself in Parsons, KS, do yourself a favor and stay any where else. Entering…read morethis hotel assaults your senses with an over-sweet odor that you can't put a name to, but it's not very pleasant. The Manager of this place is about as lazy as you can find and all she did was complain. She brought her niece in for a few days, apparently because her mother was ill. All we heard whenever we interacted with her was how long she had to work, how tired she was, and any other inconvenience to her person. At breakfast, she left her ten-year-old niece in charge while she went to the front desk and played on her I-Pad. The other woman who was there, was busy doing something else, but it wasn't clear to anyone there what. I'm not sure it was really legal to have a ten-year-old serving people breakfast, which by the way, was awful, but I doubt the manager felt it was her responsibility to figure that out. The appearance of the front desk was messy, disorganized, and the appearance of the manager and other desk person was totally unprofessional. They looked like they were going to the beach, not running a hotel. Why the young girl was allowed to participate in any of this is beyond me, but I can assure you I will not be staying here again. The manager and her assistant could really use some classes in professionalism and customer service. The only person who was really helpful was the housekeeping staff person, a delightful young woman with bright green hair, who was willing to bring us extra towels, soap, or anything else we needed. I have to say, it was absolutely one of the most disappointing stays at a Best Western I've encountered.

    Came into town for a funeral and stayed here. We usually stay at the Quality Inn, but…read moreunfortunately it was completely booked this time. Arrived late after driving 10 hours and went to our room that smelled musty when we opened the door. We turned the AC on and hoped it would help with the smell. Next day we noticed black mold all over the ceiling of the room. Staff apologized and moved us to another room that had a smoke alarm chirping every minute due to a dead battery. Made me wonder why they would wait to change out the batteries on the smoke alarms until they are dead. A much better practice would be to change them out periodically before the batteries are completely dead. Anyways, asked for a discount on the first night since we slept in a room with black mold and the clerk told me they don't give discounts and I should have informed them sooner! What a joke! How dare you place the blame on me for something your hotel neglected! He said they were already having the issue remediated. I noticed dehumidifiers in the hallways, so it seems like humidity issues have been a problem here for awhile. I'll never stay here again.
