I wanted to sit down and write this review, and give credit due where it's due. This is the first time that I have stayed here at the travelers inn in Oakley Kansas. I feel that this is a decent Mom and Pop Managed Motel where you can lay your head and relax. The middle age couple that manages the place are decent nice good hearted folks who treat their guests decent and make sure that your ok. The rooms are more than adequate, and clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this place to all Travelers coming through the Oakley area, including all farm workers and other long term work crews. The rooms are very adequate in space and more than affordable and reasonable rates. Let's support Our American run Local Mom and pop Motels and the folks who own and manage them. THUMBS UP to the Travelers Inn in Oakley Kansas and let's give them some business all we can.????????????????????????
