Great place in the heart of downtown Hays. James was very accommodating, and the property is beautiful. The yard area was sublime, very well manicured with a great seating area. The loft seemed brand new, with everything we needed.

Excellent Family Road Trip Stopover

We were taking a cross-country road trip, with a family of 4 (2 parents, 2 year old, 9 year old), and this was an excellent stopover on our way. The rooms were excellent, and the location was great for family -- just a few blocks from the nearest playground. Check-in instructions were straightforward and easy to follow, and the rooms were clean and well organized. We really enjoyed our stay in Hays, and would highly recommend!

Super cute place!!

My mom and I thought the place was immediately clean, decorated adorably, and had very comfy beds. They had everything you would possibly need to cook in the cute kitchen. It was quiet and we both got a great night sleep. It was in a very safe neighborhood and across the street from the Fire department. The outside sitting area was a huge plus. We will definitely stay again!

Perfect Halfway meeting spot.

My son lives in Colorado Springs and I live in Kansas City. Hays is a perfect halfway meeting spot for us. We were able to meet for the weekend and stay here. The Condo was very clean, updated and comfortable. The owner was very quick at responding to any questions that I had. Wonderful time!

Hidden Gem in Hays

This beautiful loft exceeded our expectations. We were looking for a place to stay overnight in Hays where my husband, teen son and me could stay comfortably. The loft has 2 bedrooms and was so neat and clean. We walked a quick 8 minutes to the downtown restaurant area. After traveling the entire day, the loft was a great retreat.

Our Loft Stay

Not completely thrilled with the way you have to purchase insurance and cleaning and fees. Makes it more and more expensive to stay. We were in the loft for less than 12 hours. An earlier check in would be appreciated.

Great little loft!!

Super short visit to see our son in college for his birthday. Super clean and accurate listing. Adorable little enclosed private courtyard for guests. Everything you need for an overnight! We had to park in front and take the longer walk through the owners gated area because designated drive way has an immediate steep elevation and our car would bottom out. I’m sure owners would have accommodated us or let us use their area but we didn’t bother bc our stay was so short. Only other suggestion would be higher quality pillows and mattress, but none of the mentioned would keep us from booking again!
