Wasn't expecting much for the price. However, when you say you have a continental breakfast available on your site, offer one. At least have coffee. Also advertised free wi-fi which was correct for the first hour. After that you had to pay. Again, wasn't expecting a lot for the price but at least provide what you say you are going provide. Seemed like a real shady operation.

I wanted to stay at a motel on route 66 and decided on Baxter Inn somewhat based on the photo submitted. When I pulled in, I saw the other sides of the building with part of the paneling falling off, etc. When I went inside and had to dial a phone number to get the front desk, it seemed odd. When I went into the room, I knew I had made a mistake. The musty smell was bad. I’m glad I had a can of spray, but that didn’t help much. I used probably a quarter of the can on the drapes, the floor, the bedding and the bathroom and left for three hours to come back and find it still smelled musty. I sprayed again and went to sleep to find it still smelled musty when I woke up.

The room and hallway were very musty stunk quite a lot. Room and bed were dirty, old furniture, bathroom had the ceiling cover off, ceiling tiles were extremely water stained and sink/mirror were bad as well. Would NOT recommend staying there.

So this is a Mom and Pop Hotel, but since Route 66 in Kansas is only a short drive, we really don't know how long it has existed. It is clean and comfy, but it is a young couple with a young family running the place, which may be a little much to handle. They were trying to host a small breakfast bar from 6 to 9, but at 6:45 no one had set it up so we went across the street and grabbed coffee at McDonald's and went on our way. There is good news, though, we tend to look for truckers staying at a place to know what is safe and clean and plenty of truckers stayed there.

Baxter inn was a good “just for the night” hotel idk if i would stay here for longer. It had a strange smell. Almost like this place has been kept in a bottle type of smell. The sheets did have some stains on them. The shower was nice! I enjoyed the shower. Parking was easy and it was easy to find. The staff was very friendly

Terrible hotel

this hotel is so uncomfortable, in room there is only 1 electric outlet so when I complain they provide 1 extension cord, also there isn't hair dryer, the bathing towel is insufficient, the blanket is plastic so doesn't soft, there isn't sugar for coffee, only there are artificial sugar, in brief this is the worst hotel I have been stayed

Loved the room with 3 beds (and a bonus pullout in the couch we hadn't expected!) - were just there for a quick stopover on a road trip, but it was great for our needs
