Top Optimist Playground Hotel Reviews

Econo Lodge Hays I-70

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel and staff were perfect. The problem was the sign out front was not lit making it almost impossible to find at night in a town with 5, yes 5, double lined round abouts. We went by 3 times!"

Days Inn by Wyndham Ellis

8/10 Good

"Dirt in ac vents, but everything else was fine"

Best Western Plus Butterfield Inn

8/10 Good

"No ice buckets available, ac rattled had to turn off to sleep, compressor in utility room next door cycled off and on every 30 minutes loud enough to be a disturbance (staff indicated worked on frequently). Floor laminate in room was buckled. Wouldn’t stay again"

AmericInn by Wyndham Hays

8/10 Good

"This property is being remodeled so when we drove into the parking lot and noticed the blacktop was patched and worn we were concerned about the room. We were pleasantly surprised as our room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The reception area appeared to have gone through the remodel as well as the breakfast area. The price was a bargain because of reason of being renovated. I expect once it’s completed the price will increase. It ideally fit our road trip budget."
