As in most small towns in Kansas, you don't have a large choice of hotels (one, maybe two) to choose from, and that was the case in Sharon Springs. Lot's of first time oddities with this hotel. First thing is that we pull up to the hotel and there is no obvious entry to the hotel. There is no lobby to check in. On our second door we read a sign that we must check in at the dinner located at the front of the hotel. Man was very nice checking us in, and we stayed and ate in the dinner. The same man cooked our hamburgers, which were very good. After dinner we went back to the first door we tried. The outside appearance of the hotel isn't great. A worn out, I guess a refrigerator was laying on its side in the parking lot right by the main entry. Weeds were growing up in along the sidewalks. Truthfully, just looking at it, you would think that the hotel was out of business. We had trouble getting in. This might have been an old person thing, but we tried every which direction on the card with no luck. A second trip to the dinner for a new card and got right in. We got to the room and didn't need a card because the door wasn't locked. The room was actually large. Even though there was some wear and tear, the room was clean. The bed was very comfortable, and we both got a great night of sleep. We checked out to a cheerful woman in the dinner, and again we ate there. Great breakfast. Truthfully, some people would have walked away, but we were okay with it.
