    The pool is super small and there were so many kids in it that my little kids were hurt multiple times, we finally left after 30 minutes because it wasn’t safe. Also, the breakfast that was offered in the morning was terrible. The only cereal was Raisin Bran (my kids won’t eat that), the pre-made jimmy deans sandwiches were so hard you couldn’t bite into them, they didn’t have any fruit to offer but pears, again that is an issue with small children.

    Location was great.

    Staff don’t like 3rd party bookings, so we have issues every time we use Booking. Didn’t fully check us in because they said you hadn’t paid them yet. Staff came into our room with their own card while I was sleeping. Then they called my cell phone just before midnight and woke me up to say they didn’t have a room for us. I said we were already there. They had no idea! EVERY.SINGLE.TIME we stay there, our room cards only work one night. They ALWAYS have to redo them the second night. Breakfast wasn’t fully stocked the first day, and it wasn’t ready at all the second day (warm foods).

    No carpet. Comfy beds.

    Do not stay here - manager refuses to correct their mistakes

    • Stayed 1 night

    We paid through Booking.com, but the hotel also charged us inappropriately but the manager refused to credit the amount back to our card. So we called corporate and our credit card company to refuse payment of that incorrect charge. The very MEAN, HORRIBLE, and a few other bad names manager told me to call Booking.com. I tried, could not get through but she should have taken care of it since it was their mistake, not bookings, but she refused and then she hung up on me instead of correcting their mistake. When we checked in, whoever as at the desk confirmed we had already paid so it should not have been an issue but the HORRIBLE manager refused to provide proper customer service and take care of their mistake.

    The manager and crew were not the friendliest. A little customer service would be an added plus. We were there for a afternoon family wedding and there was a $30 charge to get in before 3pm. Seemed excessive for a Friday afternoon, as I doubt they were full the night before. The breakfast amounted to grab and go cereal bars, fruit, yogurt and a less than desirable Jimmy Dean breakfast biscuit.

    It was new and clean with few extras.

    Our only complaint is there was no whole wheat bread for toast but we realize you have to limit things somewhere or your expense will be more.

    We liked the lack of carpeting in the rooms, minimalistic approach to furnishings but everything we needed and everything was comfortable and quiet. The breakfast had nice choices.

    there was only 2 entrances and they were essentially next to eachother anyways.

    i enjoyed the layout of the halls and rooms, it seemed to help keep the halls quiet and I appreciated that. i also appreciate that they allowed cats as I think they may be the only one in Hays, and cats are family too. can’t leave them behind with the move :)

    Nothing that I could think of for us.

    The AVID Hotels are what I would consider a no frills hotel with all the basics that most travelers need to be comfortable. The rooms are extremely clean with comfortable beds and pillows. Nice TVs, plenty of USB outlets, clean bathrooms. Eco friendly with minimal waste and most things recyclable. Friendly staff, nice buffet breakfast with several choices.

    A couple things. -We have to do work on our trips in the morning & the music in the lobby was so OBNOXIOUS & news on TVs we couldn’t stand it. Choose chill music! -We didn’t sleep well because the mini fridge popped & cracked loudly all night & we tried turning on the fan or ac & that was even louder like an airplane taking off. -Hand soap & conditioner not refilled in bedroom bathroom. -blood on sheet I would have rated this hotel a 10 if it wasn’t these couple things.

    It was up to date, clean, visually appealing, organized.

    VERY loud hotel. The rooms were like being in an echo chamber. Even if we whispered, the sound reverberated. The fan in the bathroom roared like an outboard motor. We could hear every sound made in the room upstairs.

    Staff was very accommodating. Breakfast was above average.
