Repairs need to be made. Shower head was loose from the wall and you couldn't adjust the temperature of the water. Warped hallway floor making walking treacherous. Smoke alarm removed from the room. No breakfast, not even coffee. A continental breakfast was listed online. Staff was very helpful when I asked for an extra towel.

Reception at front desk was very welcoming. Despite the general run down look of the town, the hotel property displayed a positive upkeep. With this in mind, the stay was good value for money

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.

Economy stay

The motel was having their roof replaced, and we didn't have TV for a few hours after checking in. We did check in early, so probably most of the guests had TV by the time they arrived. It was because the roofers had to remove the satellite dish then replace it.

The Wifi was not adequate. The signal got weaker as you walked down the hall. At the distance my room was from the office, the signal could not even be consistently found. The room had an unusual smell

Couldn’t hear through the plexiglass-glass window or understand the man. The lady came out and was great. Hall to room needs repaired. Door key worked fine but door swollen. Hard to open. Room was cool. Air was turned on which was good. Stains on wall, crumbs on floor, hair on pillowcase and bathroom floor. Dirty spot on bedspread and pillow case. Called and they brought new pillows and pillow cases. The telephone that you have to use to call front desk was disgusting. the toilet belongs in a preschool. VERY low to the ground. Hard for the elderly or anyone with knee trouble. NOTHING FOR BREAKFAST AT ALL. Not even coffee or water. I could see the cereal containers with cereal spilled out inside the office with bananas that were too ripe. These were never brought out. There was no one at front desk at 7:30 AM to help. There was a fridge and microwave in the room so bring whatever you want to eat. I did not see any vending machines at all. You have to call them from a phone in the front lobby. This was the only motel in Baxter springs other than a bed and bath type which was much more expensive. We were there for a civil war reenactment.

Struggled with choice for a night in Kansas while doing R66 so this was the only option on the road . Well situated for R66. Would I return -no . No tea/coffee facility . Did get ice though . Room was just about ok - clean and bed comfy . Struggled to turn on shower as tap was loose . Curtains hanging off the track . Best bit was pizza and a beer in Bricks and Brews a few minutes drive away . Great live music night .

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.

Staff was friendly and attentive. Room was large. 1) I have never used such thin towels 2) Some of the fixtures were not great - the faucet handle came off in my hand, bureau was missing a drawer tront, sheets were stained 3) i chose this hotel because it offered breakfast. I had a choice of corn flakes, a banana or coffee.

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
