The condition of our room was terrible. There were holes in the walls, some kind of sludge dripping down them too. In several spots. The mirrors and the fridge had some stuff smeared all over as well. There were brown stuff on the sheets and the towels, random socks under the beds and various drugs (prescription) under the bed.

For making a reservation they were unprepared for us. It was cold and the heat wasn’t on at all and it took all night to warm up the room. It felt like they were not trying to give any service and grow business.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Direct TV was almost worthless. Internet fairly good. A/C unit on the wall was high up and I had to stand in a chair to turn it on I feel that for guests the room should have had it on. Sheets were thin and worn. Refg was not working although plugged in. Had to move coffee and plug it in just to use it. Bathroom was clean. Took forever to get hot water for a shower. Walls needed painting the current paint was old. It was a smoking room, but felt even then it could have been nicer. This Motel has been in Liberial KS for years, we have stayed it many times, however I will not use it again. Nor will I recommend it. This room has not been updated to even look good. Staff needs training on hospitality service. No ironing board in room but I had an iron, no hangers at all. Had the hard ware for hangers, but they were bent. Sad.
