NYLO May Follow the Yellow Brick Road to Kansas for Its Next Hotel

Where: United States

NYLO Plano at Legacy

Start-up hotel chain NYLO Hotels must have taken Dorothy's words to heart when she said, "There's no place like home." A tipster told us that NYLO is looking to expand into Kansas. The company has its eye on Wichita for its next project.

According to our source, it will be a 125-bed hotel tailored to business travelers and entertainment consumers. The as-yet-unnamed hotel will be part of a mixed-use commercial development set on 33 acres. The hotel rooms will resemble loft apartments, the signature of NYLO's other properties.

Kansas To Stop Safety and Sanitary Inspections for Hotels

Clean, kinda clean or unclean? That's the new guessing game you could playing the next time you're in Kansas.

We almost seem to take for granted the safety and sanitary inspections that frequently take place in hotels and motels but upon hearing that the state of Kansas has halted its inspection program for licensed hotels, we're a little fearful that this could become an awful but necessary trend as governments struggle to balance their budgets.

KansasCity.com reports that the program was stopped after $300,000 cut from the Department of Agriculture (which randomly oversees hotel inspections.)

The inspection program aimed to ensure the cleanliness and safety of guest rooms in the state’s nearly 1,000 licensed hotels. All currently licensed hotels, motels and bed-and-breakfasts have been inspected.

The Department of Agriculture hopes to resume the program when funding becomes available. Thankfully, restaurants will still undergo inspections. In the meantime, if you're traveling to Kansas we say bring your own blacklight.
