Tiny town with a living history museum I was able to wander in the evening, but was unable to check out during open hours. A neat looking store/coffee shop down the street that I believe is closed Sundays. Of course, the day we were there. The hotel itself had a nice outdoor seating area, library, lobby and café. Food was great Off the beaten path, but worth the drive! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f4613b6c-5a06-49bc-921e-464521826caa-1760626556515.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d29b7b39-b43a-4fb0-a4c1-dfb4c8c554e8-1760626554925.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a9680de3-daaa-485c-8d59-f7b17f08b43d-1760626554160.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/810d3880-07df-44fe-89d8-c4010a5163bf-1760626554176.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Alicia Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danelle Jul 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities It was a beautiful little hotel.

The downtown, and the Balch Hotel are surrounded by Wheat fields. The best part is the outstanding hospitality of the staff... and of the community generally. ##### Jerald Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raymond Jul 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Stumbled on this place following a long drive.

The entry and library and outdoor patio were so nice to sit and relax and read a book. Note that many of the bathrooms are shared-luckily the hotel wasn’t full when we were there so no one to share with. They could do a lot better with decorating-getting some time-period/era art on the walls, instead of the tacky amateur art for sale. So much potential they are on a good start ##### Lawrence Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Jun 3, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Special and unique Hotel.
