10 Top-Rated Bed and Breakfast Inns in Kansas

April 18, 2023 Yuk Petri

See a buffalo up close, live like a cowboy for a day on a working cattle ranch or visit a stagecoach stop on the Sante Fe Trail are just a few of the many vacation experiences possible in this state in America’s heartland. You’ll love the wide-open spaces and the opportunities to engage in a variety of one-of-a-kind experiences in this marvelous state, which has the largest segment of true tallgrass prairie remaining in the U.S. Regardless of where you visit: a major metropolitan area like Kansas City, a college town like Manhattan or Lawrence or engaging places like Wichita, Dodge City and Salina, there are a wide array of attractions and sights nearby. If you want to familiarize yourself with cowboy culture, visit the Boot Hills Museum in Dodge City, dine on all-you-can-eat barbeque and hear songs of the American Cowboy at Diamond W Chuckwagon Supper in Wichita or explore the Dickinson County Heritage Center in Abilene, which has dance halls, gaming rooms and 32 saloons. For outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy hiking, biking, fishing, bird watching and other activities, three of the state’s most popular parks are: Cheney State Park near Wichita; Scott State Park near Scott City and Tuttle Creek State Park near Manhattan.

We have stayed twice at this hotel in the last year and both times it was excellent!! Yes it’s a bit dated on furniture but the mattress is top notch and the room is spotless. There is no coffee in the room but a Keurig in the office makes fresh coffee. They have organic and decaf coffee pods, creamer, sugar and lidded cups. They also have a few items like soda and cup a noodle for sale. Ice machine on-site room 19. They do provide a packet of shampoo, soap…it’s in the washcloth flower in the bathroom. Good size fridge and microwave also. The room was quiet and comfortable! The owners are friendly and extremely helpful.

This has to be done worst dump I have ever seen ! It was the only motel in the town, so we had to stay. See the pictures below as they definitely tell the story! The guy that checked us in was also in charge of cleaning the rooms. All he did was change the sheets , no cleaning, no vacuuming!! I told him he had not clean the bathroom, His reply was ‘oh S - - -‘ . I actually had some bath cleaner in the car from a shopping trip and I scrubbed the sink counter and toilet. The bathtub was beyond saving. Needless to say, we took sponge baths at the sink ! The young man’s language was beyond filthy. He dropped the F bomb constantly. He thought he would tell us a funny joke and the filth that came out of his mouth was unreal. I am not a prude but his behavior was uncalled for. Believe me, if we had another option for spending the night, we would’ve not stayed. This place needs to be avoided like the plague!

Being coming here for the last 3/4 years and always find the place very comforting after 2.5 years of drive from Kansas City. Staff is very friendly. Rooms are clean, linen feels good. The breakfast is simple but filling. Walmart, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell and Subway is literally 2/3 minutes walking distance. The Pony Museum is 10 minutes drive. Very recommendable if you want couple of nights for your business travel

Impressive customer service

Reviewed By letsgobulls_24

I frequently travel for work and prefer motels bc of the quick access to my vehicle. The decor and bedspread in my room were probably the best I've seen at a motel, period. The room felt very homey. It had newer a/c, television, microwave and fridge/freezer. An ice maker was just a few doors away. Let me get to the main reason I am writing this: when I arrived, I was on a job and thus pre-payed for the entire weekend. Before the day was even over, I regrettably got cut loose from the job and was free to make my way back home. Being 4th of July weekend and several hours away from Illinois, I decided I'd ask for a refund on the remaining nights I had payed for. The owner was nice enough to honor my request and refund the other nights I did not need to stay. He and his wife were friendly, polite people. I would definitely stay here again if I'm in the area.

Anderson Bed & Breakfast

Anderson Bed and Breakfast is located 2 blocks south of K-State and 3 blocks west of Aggieville and City Park. We have the best lodging reviews in Manhattan, Kansas due to our warm welcome, charming porches, chickens in the backyard (yes, fresh eggs for breakfast) and a lovely garden that is a bird watcher’s paradise. In the fall, sitting on the front porch overlooking the tree-lined, brick street in an old university neighborhood, you may enjoy listening to the KSU marching band practice and watching students walk to class or Aggieville. Our music room has great acoustics and a well-tuned grand piano. We pamper our guests with plush bedding and bath robes, en suite bathrooms, walk-in closets, vaulted ceilings, high-speed wi-fi, and HD flat screen TVs with cable. Breakfast is generous and delicious. Cook Phil specializes in quiche Lorraine, Dutch pancakes, firehouse frittata and the homemade blueberry muffins that won his wife, Dawn’s, heart and stomach 22 years ago. We tend to cater to a university clientele: K-State alumni, prospective students, parents, visiting faculty, guest speakers/artists and faculty candidates, but we are also military-friendly and LGBT-friendly. Guests interested in architecture will appreciate our 1910 Arts and Crafts-Style limestone house which was fully renovated into a modern bed & breakfast with three guest rooms in 2013. Your hosts, Dawn and Phil Anderson, are ready to welcome you to Manhattan!

Great stay!

Great concept but no follow through

Reviewed By GusOKC

We walked into our room and liked the streamlined minimalistic setup. However, there was an unused condom next to the ironing board and very obvious to anyone entering. My wife doubted anyone had cleaned the room so I went to the front desk to request getting another room. The person I spoke confirmed the room was logged as being cleaned and had no comment on the condom issue, just stared at me and seemed dumbfounded that we'd want another room. But she found one, same price, much smaller, pillow out on bed which made us question the cleaning again, torn sweep on door and cuts down to the cushion pads on the one chair, but we were tired and up in Hays for a loss in the family so decided to stay. Hotel is only 10 months old so getting worn quickly. The upside was the breakfast was good and the price very reasonable. I'm only posting this on TA since I would like IHG to at least acknowledge my complaint which I made to alert them to an issue so they can improve. Instead nothing at the hotel and nothing via their website.
