Travel tips
Since the hotel is just off Highway 77 and close to Highway 160, it's an easy and convenient stop for anyone driving through the region rather than flying in, as the nearest airport (Wichita Dwight D.

Guests without a car will still find several restaurants within a short walk, including Wing Street just 213 meters away and Bleus Family Dining under a kilometer out. Plan for a simple continental breakfast in the morning and take advantage of free afternoon tea and coffee in the lobby rather than expecting an extensive on-site restaurant.
