Holiday Inn Express & Suites Shawnee-Kansas City West by IHG

There isn't a lot to choose from in Lindsborg, so we decided on the Viking Motel. We stayed on a Sunday night. No one was around when we tried to check in. They did come shortly, however. There weren't a lot of people staying so the parking lot provided ample room, right in front of our room as a matter of fact. The room was well apportioned with everything you would need. For us, that is mainly a fridge and microwave. Both worked fine. The window air conditioner ran non-stop and that was to keep the room between 70 and 72. The main reason for this was to keep the smell of mildew away. The soaps, were the old bar style were really small. The bed was soft and lumpy, but was still functional. The key was still the old style like a house key. Never a fan of those as the tags have the room number and hotel written right on it. If lost or stolen, they have free access to your room. Upon checking out in the morning, once again, no one was around and the office was locked up. Needless to say, no continental breakfast for us! So, overall the room was decent, location was good (dala right in front!) and the price was very reasonable. Service, however was suspect, at best. Would we stay again? Maybe if it was an emergency, but we would try other places in town before coming back here.

Nice hotel for the price point! We traveled with our dogs and had a slightly confusing interaction with the front desk clerk — the sign says “no pets,” but online it says pets are allowed. Everything worked out in the end ($20 per pet), but a little clarification would go a long way.

This is not upper scale but you are not paying those prices. For the price you get a safe area, very updated, clean and comfortable room.
