I travel a LOT for both work and pleasure, and usually I'm in fairly nice national chain hotels, but there's something special about getting off the main road, and staying at the small, local, traditional motel - the "motor hotel" of the mid 20th century. While some may be iffy (I've stayed in some awful ones, but also awful chains), many are nice and quaint. I read that this was the best (probably only) motel in Sharon Springs, with nice reviews, and booked a room. When i got here, there was a sign on the door that they were out, but to call a number, got a prompt and polite answer, the gentleman said he had all my info, told me which room I was in, what the door code was - simplest check in I've done in years.

They were very friendly and kind to us (not always the reaction you get when you show up somewhere with five children). Room was in great shape, very clean, and a welcome hiding spot from the constant strong winds that blew through town. We even got a bright red sunset as we unloaded the car (all the dust in the air made for a good one!). Would be very happy to stay here again the next time we find ourselves in...
