Good, clean room in older hotel for the price. Easy on/off of the highway. Slim breakfast, but fine for us. Helpful staff with dinner directions, etc. Window shades fully cover windows now! Would stay there again.

My wife and I travel quite a bit and the older we get, the pickier we seem to become. We seldom give any hotel an excellent rating, but this one actually deserves it. Staff was courteous and very helpful; check-in was quick and painless, and the clerk honored an on-line rate we found that was $15/night cheaper than her standard.... More

I was passing through on my trip to St Louis and stopped here. The place was clean and the staff was very nice. I would definitely stay again. It was very easy to get to off the interstate and lots of good places to eat close by.

Bring a safety pin. The only problem I had with this hotel is that you can’t close the drapes. There are sheers on the windows that can be closed but the drapes are fixed and are only for show. People are walking by the windows and in the evening when the room lights are on, you can see through the... More

We stopped here while traveling on I-70 with our dog. They are pet friendly, with a modest fee, I think it was $15. The bed was extremely comfortable and after a long day of driving the hot bath felt great!

Right on the interstate, this motel is neat as a pin. The rooms are very small, but everything seems to work perfectly and it is clean and well-kept. Dieters beware: There's a Sheridan's Frozen Custard stand sharing the same parking lot! Yum, yum, yum.

Fantastic large room, but dinky, dated bathroom. Exterior corridors for easy dog walks. Arrived late and had to park around mounds of snow. Staff helpful and friendly. Don't know what else to say other than it was snowing when we left and we didn't get very far.

My wife and I reserved the King Bed with sofa. Truman Inn is very easy to get to form the interstate, which was a huge plus as we arrived after 10 hours on the road. The room was clean and comfortable. The receptionist (a blonde lady) was super-helpful. I asked about KC BBQ (as I would NOT leave the area... More
