Have done the search and want opinions from those in the know. looking at ramada or Travellodge. Good or bad experiences? Both are welcomed as is any info. this is the first night of our 2 week trip.

Pick another town! Stayed there 17 years ago and have never forgotten it! Dreary doesn't quite suffice.

I can't speak to those two, but I stayed at the Best Western Mid-America Inn in September and don't recomend it. It isn't very well maintained.

BTW: If you happen to like hamburgers, try a a sack of hamburgers from the Cozy Inn at 108 N 7th. The tiny burgers (about 30 to the pound) are prepared on a 80 year old grill that is only used to cook these burgers. The little restaurant is open 24 hours. It has 5 seats at the old counter and permanently smells like hamburger with onions. No cheese is allowed and it is a major error for someone to request it.

Dear Clark,
Salina is the stop along the way to bigger and better things ie Rushmore! We just need a bed for the night.

Keith, thanks for the tip.

Candlewood Suites & Holidayinn Express are decent choices. Comfort Inn has a discount for 50yrs&older.

Bottom rung, Super 8 is a bed and a deadbolt, a step up from Ramada and Travelodge

I travel across Kansas fairly often and I recommend just stopping when you are ready and get a Super8, Econolodge, Travelodge. It is a bed, cheap and you leave the next day.

Thanx again, I also need a pool, we will arrive sleep eat and travel on. We will spend the next night in Cheyenne WY.
