Top Sternberg Museum of Natural History Hotel Reviews

AmericInn by Wyndham Hays

8/10 Good

"The staff were friendly and the room clean. The location was convenient for an overnight stay. The only downside was I was placed near the elevator and I was traveling with my 2 dachshunds who were on high alert all night because of the foot traffic and people talking that we could hear. Didn’t make for the best night of sleep."

avid hotel Hays by IHG

8/10 Good

"Staff were friendly, room was clean. Biggest issue were water leaks on property in windows and sandbur (sticker grass) all around property. Had no place to walk my pups that they didn’t get it stuck in their paws. They need to better maintain the area that is supposed to be pet friendly."
