I'm in it right now. It sucks. I'm only here cause its late and they take pets. The free wifi is good, but that's standard these days. There's dead bugs everywhere and it's just a dump. Side note...Kansas sucks. read more

As per the previous reviews, the bugs have gone into "stealth mode," choosing to die unnoticed behind the bedside table. Two miles past this hideous place and I'm just getting rid of the heebie-jeebies. We arrived yesterday afternoon. It was 92 degrees outside and probably 89 inside the room. The over-worked housekeeper was vacuuming as quickly as she could under such brutal conditions: she was forced to clean without the AC on, "to save money." Small wonder she missed the bugs. This place features a hot tub and outdoor pool. I walked into the hot tub room and it was absolutely stifling. I glanced into the tub and was horrified to see the water was completely murky and obviously hadn't been cleaned in a long time. No way was I getting into THAT fetid mess. Hubby, on the other hand, wanted to give the pool a try. He came back to the room not 5 minutes later to say he was taking a shower. The pool was no better than the hot tub: Murky, smelly and slimy on the bottom. The owner is a self-important and delusional old man who fancies himself to be a song writer, author and yes, presidential candidate! He passed out laminated business cards with his political platform typed on the back. I guess a President doesn't have to be much of a stickler for details; there were multiple misspelled words. But hey, he managed to copy and paste the Presidential seal onto the card. I guess that makes him legit. After a fitful night, hubs decided to check out the breakfast bar. Located in the hotel lobby, it consisted of paper plate under a glass dome with crumbs of muffins past. A small fridge contained a bottom full of milk in a plastic jug, and a half-full Orange juice container. Cereal, bread, bagels and muffins were portioned into zip-loc bags. Well, not even real zip-loc bags: that'd be too spendy! 5 forlorn looking people spooned cereal from styrofoam bowls and plastic spoons while our esteemed Presidential Candidate/author/song-writer stared them down from his easy chair conspicuously placed for optimal viewing. I suppose as to assure no miscreant might dare to eat more than his one Wal-Mart zipper bag of Tasty-O's. (Cheerios are too expensive.) This hotel, er, hovel is just a single tick above sleeping in one's car. Only because now I know how to defeat ISIS. eliminate the IRS, repeal ObamaCare....... No wonder the bugs hide behind the furniture. read more

The other reviewer mentioned that dead bugs were all over the place, and I'd like to disagree. I only found dead bugs in the bathroom. Most positive thing about the place: the wifi was great because nobody else was staying there and so I had all the bandwidth to myself. read more

Got out of the shower in the morning. Roach belly up on the bathroom floor. Management said they knew and refused to tell us their name. Never again am I staying at a Travellodge. read more

This place is pretty good for the price. I've read the other reviews about this place, and while I haven't seen any bugs other than ants, the pool, and hot tub comments are true. The gym is also a joke. It's non existing. However I came here to sleep and not live. With That being said, it is comfy, clean,and the room and hallway smelled very clean. The breakfast is small pickings but it is breakfast none the less. We've stayed the motels surrounding this one and let me tell you, they are more expensive and offer much less! I am quite satisfied with our stay we were here for 3 days. The motel hostess is very nice and polite, as well as the housekeeper. Yes they could do a lot better but for the price you pay, it could be a lot worse!!!! I would definitely stay here again. read more

If I could give this place a minus 5 I would. My daughter and I stopped here after being tired driving. We checked in but then left to go somewhere and eat dinner. Then we went and got some things at the store and came back to the room. When my daughter got in her bed there was glitter on the fitted sheet. Weren't they washed? I looked around the room and it wasn't very clean. As mentioned in a previous review, the bugs were in stealth mode and were behind the bedside table and in the corners. As tired as we were we decided to leave in our pajamas. I went to the office and complained and said I didn't want charged for that mess and the woman told me no since we were there more than two hours. In actuality we were really only in the room 20 minutes or so since as mentioned earlier we went out to eat, etc. It was after midnight when we left in our PhD and drove another 70 miles east to Columbia where we were lucky enough to get the last room available in town due to a college football game the next day. I was still charged for the room but was glad to get as far away from there as possible. If you are tired driving and thinking of staying here, find somewhere else. You've been warned. read more

I'd like to think that I am a patient person when it comes to interacting with people working in a service position. I'm usually very courteous and understanding. But what I experienced tonight has no possibility of being justified and is beyond the realm of understanding. My Family and I traveled from Crossville TN, on our way home to Kansas City. We got passed St. Louis and were traveling on I-70W when we hit a torrential downpour and drove through it for over 100 miles. Parts were worse than others but I thought it wouldl let up. I was mistaken. The rain got so bad that visibility was practically zero and I was hydroplaning constantly. I couldn't drive more than 45 mph most of the time. We got as far as Concordia MO, and decided we had better pull off and find a place to stay. We figured it was as good a place as any. Even though we were less than 70 miles from home, the weather was so bad that we couldn't risk going any farther. I pulled into the Days Inn and went into the office to see if they had a room but they were full. Next-door was a Travelodge, so I tried there. When I went in there was no one at the counter so I rang the bell. Several minutes past but no one came even though I could hear voices of people speaking in the back office. I hollered back, "hello" as politely as I could though sounding a little confused. And still no one came. So I ring the bell again and said "hello". Finally, A little girl showed up wearing pajamas and holding an Xbox controller. She could not have been more than eight years old. She said to me, "She's busy she'll be here in a minute. I'm not supposed to come out here looking like this but she told me to. " I smiled at her and said thank you, but thought to myself how inappropriate it was for a young child to be answering a counter in a hotel at 12:30 AM. Several minutes past again and still no one came to the counter so I went outside to voice my irritation to my Husband who was sitting in the car. Mind you this is a torrential downpour in the middle of the night during a thunderstorm. I hear somebody yelling through to glass doors and turn around to see the woman at the counter making very aggravated gestures at me so I turned around and went back inside. When I went in she did not say I'm sorry for the wait instead she said in a very rude tone, "If you can't handle somebody going to the bathroom then you just need to take your ass on down the road!" My mistake was to attempt to have a conversation with this woman. I attempted to tell her we have just driven over 600 miles and spent the last 100 miles in hazardous driving conditions and we need a safe place to stay. Instead she defended her position of having to go to the bathroom and insisted that I was unreasonable. She again told me where I could go so I left. The point to all of this is that Travelodge, in Concordia Missouri will turn away traveling families in the middle of the night during a severe weather, because they have to pee and offer no apology for it. My family was turned away from lodging as a paying customer in the middle of the night during a torrential downpour after suffering hazardous driving conditions by Travelodge. We went down the road, as was suggested by Linda at Travelodge, to a bug infested, smelly Budget Inn. But at least they would take us in for the night. I have spent a lot of time trying to contact a representative at Travelodge to complain about what we experienced. I was hung up on three times by their call center representatives and then left on hold for 25 minutes waiting for a supervisor to take my call. I am beyond exasperated. Travelers beware. read more

Wow, this is horrible! I chose this place to stay for one night. I should have known something was up when he handed me a wooden key for my room. When I get into the room the smoke alarms battery was low so it was chirping, the room smelt like mildew, and dirty. I couldn't even sit on the bed. When I told the manager about the room, I already made my mind up to go to a different hotel and he insisted I look at the "newly renovated" room. Well it smelt like smoke and looked just like the first room. I told him I was leaving he refused and hid from the front desk. The next day I called back to kindly ask for a refund and the owner was so rude and hung up on me. I drove up there and the owner was just as rude. Don't waste your time and go to the days inn. Worst experience ever, as well as worest customer service I've ever experienced. This place should close down. I do not understand how it is still in business. read more
