Welcome to Great Bend and the Heart of Kansas! Our 42-room Americas Best Value Inn is located in the heart of Great Bend on Tenth Street (US Hwy 56) just west of US Hwy 281 between Harrison Street and Lincoln Street.

Our Inn offers comfortably appointed rooms in a two-story building with interior corridors. Our Inn recently received an "A" grade on its most recent Quality Assurance inspection by Americas Best Value Inn, the highest grade awarded by the chain.

Great Bend's name comes from its location on the big bend in the Arkansas River. Numerous Native American tribes were drawn to the area by the river, large herds of bison, and huge marshland rich in wildlife. The first great American trade route, the Santa Fe Trail, ran right through the town's present-day Courthouse Square, making Great Bend a historic crossroads for settlers on the prairie. Over the years, Great Bend became a center for the Kansas oil industry, a training ground for B-29 crews during World War II, and continues to reign as a center of commerce and recreation in central Kansas.
