We stayed at Ken's in Aurora to be able to visit our daughter. Room was clean and spacious. Loved that we had a full size refrigerator in room. Internet was slow but we were not needing it so it didn't matter. Great value for a family weekend! More

Expect just the basics but a clean, neat and quiet place to stay. Just as good or better than the basic Super 8's we have stayed at. More

I have no idea what Ken's Motel the Conroys stayed at - but it certainly was a much different experience for me! I have traveled for business my entire adult life and have stayed in hundreds of hotels across the midwest. All I can say is - I wish there was a Ken's Budget Host in every town I travel... More

Upon calling to reserve a room we were told that we could use our corporate rate, however upon check in the desk clerk was very rude and informed us there was only one rate and if we did not like it we could stay somewhere else. We were given a key to a room that did not work, after attempting... More

Clean, good-sized room, with full-size refrigerator, no-smoking room (big plus), across the street from a nice town park. I hope we find more like this on our trip. More

What a fantastic motel this is. It is a family run motel where they have the utmost pride in maintaining spotless rooms. The room was extremely clean and comfortable, internet available in lobby. The room itself was definitely above average and remodelled to a very good quality. Only thing to mention was that I found the motel a bit hard... More

The motel grounds appeared to be clean and neat. The room looked like it was recently re-furbished with good carpet, wall paper, lamp shades, and bedspreads. There was a flat screen tv and a large home sized refrigerator. We did think the matresses were a bit firm, but that is a matter of preference. Really, the only fault was a... More

I've been to Ken's motel many times and had many friends stay there as well. Ken was a community pillar in this small town of Aurora and his daughter Jane continues their tradition of providing full sized fridges in most rooms! This isn't a sexy hotel, but it is a great midwest value" (ps, I think the people with the... More

After reading the other reviews we were expecting a nice motel, but were very disappointed!! When we 1st walked into the room we were impressed, but after we got to looking around we found that the floors had not been vacuumed. There was paper, sunflower seeds, cat food, & a pile of cat litter on the floor. There was blood... More
