Used a travel coupon which translated to about $60 for 1 person (including taxes) which was a bit on the high side, but cheapest "decent looking motel" room that I could find in town on the given night. Desk clerk was wearing a t-shirt, but was relatively friendly. On site Restaurant was closed - reportedly becoming chinese buffet and there are minimal options in town aside from fast food and diners. Motel's previous "cooked to order" breakfast was no longer offered having been replaced replaced with make your own waffles, instant oatmeal packets, cereal, toast, some variation of juice. Room was relatively clean and was updated with bigger TV. Very noisy plumbing woke me from a sound sleep at about 5:30am when someone down the row flushed a toilet. Manager advised they were aware of the problem and trying to locate and fix.

We were in Goodland the first week of Oct 2005 and my wife insists on staying at BestWestern Hotels.Well this place put an end to that! This was by far the nastiest,most run down property I have ever seen and what they charge is about $55.00 too much. The restaurant is horrible and service is literally non existant. I stayed here back in the early 80s and it was nice then...Dont think anything has been done since the 80s though. Take my advice and that of others on this sight..Find another place in town or keep on driving.

This hotel was SUCH a pit, and paying $68 (before tax) made it seem even worse. It's as plain and ugly on the inside as it is on the outside, so what you see as you pull up is what you'll get.

The first thing we noticed as we came in our room was that it had the musty mildewy smell that older hotels have in terminally damp enviroments, yet Goodland KS is as dry as a bone. The answer came the next morning when we turned on the shower and then got diverted by news about Hurricane Rita on the news. Suddenly we noticed we had our own little natural disaster pouring out of the bathroom- the shower curtain could not contain the stream of the shower and the tiny bathroom had quickly filled with water, which was pouring out into the room and rapidly soaking the carpet! On the other hand, the power of the shower was about the only thing I enjoyed about my stay, we just dumped all the towels on the floor and let the shower pound us. The knob to the cold water immediately came off in my hand as soon as I touched it, but the water wasn't hot enough to really need any cold added.

We turned on the air conditioner, but only a tiny poot of coolish air leaked forth. Luckily we were only there at night.

The complimentary hot breakfast is a joke (on you); what happens is you go to their "restaurant" and show the waitress your coupons, then she asks you if you want white or wheat. That's the entirity of your input. About 2 minutes later you get a plate of microwaved frozen shredded hashbrowns and powered scrambled aigs with unbuttered toast tossed before you. WOO WOO!

However, right next door to the hotel is a fabulous, muy authentico little mexican restaurant run by some people up from Zacatecas, where the food is tasty, cheap and plentiful. That's the only business you'll ever find me doing in that neighborhood of Goodland ever again!

Goodland is a wonderful small town with most everything a traveler could want. If you are looking for a plain room that doesn't cost much, this is the hotel for you. It is a no-frills, low cost hotel that delivers a fair room for a fair price.
