My wife and I stayed at Castle Rock Inn & Suites while traveling from St Louis MO to Colorado Springs CO. There aren't many choices other than Hays KS (which is substantially larger and offers many more restaurant/lodging options than Quinter KS), Wakeeney, or Quinter if you don't want to drive the entire 12 hours from St Louis to CO Springs. Hays is nice, but it's an hour further drive than Quinter - thus the decision to stay in Quinter. Castle Rock Inn provides an AARP rate for $81 - great deal. Taxes brought total for King-bed room to $93. Check-in was efficient with a team member sitting in a room behind the front desk quickly acknowledging us and getting our room keys ready quickly. We stayed in room 207 which faces I70 = there was a fair amount of interstate highway noise, but we travel with a 'noise machine' that provides white noise, therefore the close proximity to the interstate didn't impact our sleeping. The king bed was comfortable. The room looked like the photos of rooms on the hotel's website (something that is not always the case). The hotel WiFi is not password protected, but I always use a VPN anyway when on a public network, so I didn't feel 'exposed' using the good quality network. The bathroom was clean, toilet flushed well/fully, and shower had ample hot water and water pressure. The continental breakfast was adequate with yogurt, waffle mix available, cold cereal, a buffet-like serving container with hot scrambled eggs and sausage links, assorted pastries, and typical juices/coffees. Is it a glamorous breakfast? No - but again, $81 for a room, if you want a luxurious hot breakfast, stay at a B&B. We arrived into Quinter at 6:30 pm. I had researched meal opportunities before planning the trip and identified Center Pivot brewpub for dinner. There are only two or three restaurants in town, so do your research and if arriving later in the evening or if you want more than 'bar' food, stay in Hays instead of Quinter. I would stay at Castle Rock Inn again. We did our research and the town and hotel both met our expectations. Some of the 2 and 3-star reviews others have written about Castle Rock Inn reflect more on their poor planning than it does poor offering by Castle Rock Inn or Quinter. Some people apparently believe all hotels are Embassy Suites or Hyatt Regencies- not the case. For $81 on a Monday night, Castle Rock provides a clean, safe, and comfortable stay.
