This very no-frills place was just what I needed for a business trip. I love that it's a motel so there's parking directly in front of my room; made for perfect loading in and out, especially when I was tired and overheated from a day of being outdoors at an art fair. The room was very clean, bed was comfortable, the ac worked perfectly, and it was super nice that there was a freezer in the in-room refrigerator. The staff was very nice, from the owner who checked me in, and the cleaning lady, who made sure to check in each time she saw me, but wasn't pounding on the door in the morning waking me up, either. The only negative was that the room was heavily fragranced with what seemed to be incense when I checked in; I'm very sensitive to scents, so it gave me some sinus trouble and a headache that first night, but it aired out afterwards. If I get into the same show next year, I would love to stay here again!
Additionally, the whole city of Salina was very welcoming and kind, and it's clear they truly value the arts community there.
