Although the Post Rock Motel is rough around the edges, and is by no means a five-star hotel, I am giving it five stars primarily because its owner and administrator went above and beyond the call of duty to accommodate us when my wife(Libertad Green) and I were stranded near Lincoln, Kansas en route to California. Jared Spear owns the towing company and mechanic shop which towed and repaired our six-wheel, two-axle, Chevrolet box van. His assistant, Lisa, helped load our van on the tow truck, and checked us into to the Post Rock Motel, also owned by Jared Spear. This is a disturbing conflict of interest. We wondered why Mr. Spear would ever bother to repair our truck while we were paying him rent at his/the only motel in town. However, he repaired our truck in a reasonable amount of time, and we were able to finish our journey to California and back to Virginia. Meanwhile, without us saying a word, Mr. Spear lent us a vehicle free of charge to get around town. Also, when I asked Lisa for a desk or table to put our laptops on, she had one set up for us by the time we returned for lunch. She gave us her personal cell phone number in case we ever had any other emergency or needed anything else. We have never received better, more attentive service anywhere else. The bathroom was particularly adorable, with a tiny window at the back, with small Venetian blinds and a view of the road behind the hotel, and a café across it. The floor tiles, mostly yellow, were laid in a unique, cheery pattern which seemed to make our confinement significantly more pleasant. Our maids, a Cuban lady and her daughter, were also very attentive and pleasant. The mother told us she felt as if family members were moving away the day we loaded our box and departed. Lisa gave my wife one of the motel’s T-shirts for her birthday, and charged us a reduced, weekly rate. Although I have stayed in many hotels and State rooms of higher caliber than the Post Rock Motel, all around the world, the service at this motel is unprecedented, and, although I may never to return to Lincoln, Kansas, it will always have a dear, special place in our hearts.

Spent a week here while waiting out a fix on some major car trouble. Super kind owners, room was clean and totally decent. Especially for the price! It’s not a five star hotel, so dont expect fancy, but it was tidy, no funky smell, bug free, comfy bed and pillows, tv fridge and micro worked great, air conditioner worked like a charm which was especially nice with the 100+ degree days we were there for. If I’m ever in the area again I would definitely be glad to call it my rustic home away from home again! :) blessings!
