    Older motel and we think we were the only customers on the night we stayed. Parking lot lights were present, but not very well lit. May have been LED(?) comfortable room.

    Our room had been updated at some time. Our room was clean and space to move around(not cramped). Clean room. Friendly staff. Next to a Braum’s..

    The receptionist was friendly and competent. The room was clean and the location was convenient. Price was a bit high but I guess that is normal in todays world.

    When we arrived at dusk/dark, no lights were on outside to luminate the site and location!! The person at the front desk had to be called on a desk phone and he arrived shortly. I asked if the motel was open as the outside lights were not on. He said, Oh, guess I just forgot!" No breakfast was served. There were only two cars in the parking lot - very few travelers stayed at this motel! It is an older motel but our room was okay for the nights we stayed there.

    The room was clean and the linens and towels were clean, white and not stained.

    Nothing, our stay was pleasant.

    We didn't try the breakfast, we enjoyed the coffee and the king sized bed. The location is great because it's a walking distance to Bruam's in which we enjoy going for a late snack.

    Although my visit to Newton was a somber event (funeral), my stay at the Red Coach was very good.

    N/A - The quiet and comfortable is as it always has been. I would love to see visitors begin to swarm back to this hidden treasure in Newton, KS.

    For the past several years, I have stayed at the Red Coach every time I come to Newton. It is centrally located to all of Newton's restaurants, museums, and attractions, and is reasonably priced. It is a beautiful, very old - and to me - contains a lovely touch of Newton history. It used to house an amazing, upscale restaurant, game room, pool, hot tub, and all the extra amenities that you would expect in a "touch of class" hotel. Family reunions, large scale events, and business meetings all used to be conducted there. However, since the era of Covid, it too has been hit with a decrease of visitors. They have since had to discontinue many of their added amenities. My heart almost broke this weekend, seeing how much the decrease in foot traffic has affected this hotel. It is still beautiful, even without all of the extras. The rooms are still clean, and the service is excellent. The manager quite friendly and has a memory that is equal to none. He remembers all of his guests, every single one of them. He has owned the hotel through all of the ups and downs of the economic world. And although, things have slowed down, he maintains a positive attitude. He has loved and cherished this hotel for years. I hope that he is able to maintain it, and that future visitors to Newton will seek it out and bring it back to its flourishing years of the past. If you love history, and love supporting older places, you will love this unique and comfortable place to stay in Newton, KS.

    Really not anything

    The furnishings, carpeting and decor are current and in great shape. The common areas were clean. The room was clean, bed was comfortable. No signs of any issues that are found at other hotel chains, ie bugs drug use cigarette burns and smells. The staff were attentive and friendly. We will stay there again in the future

    Not important- dated furnishings and the pool wasn’t open. But the pros more than made up for it, and it was the best nights sleep I’d had in a week. better lighting of the parking lot away from the office would give some peace of mind too.

    location, cleanliness, friendly staff. quiet, comfortable beds and pillows, great water pressure.

    Huge facility but I seemed to be the only one in the complex, aside from the one-person staff. It was just a little eerie. Also, since the pool is not open, it would be good for that to be known when reserving.

    Very very clean and comfortable.

    The only small thing that could be improved is the water pressure in the shower. This hotel had everything a Comfort Inn, Holiday Inn Express, and Hampton Inn would have in a motel room. We've stayed at all of them.

    My husband and I were pleasantly surprised when we opened the door to our room and were met with the best smell in the world. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and we were overjoyed to see a microwave and a refrigerator in the room. THEY BOTH WORKED!! The TV was great too. The outside might not be the most up-to-date in appearance but the inside more than made up for it! We would definitely stay there again in a heartbeat!!! The price was right too!
