Shawnee hotels range from dependable interstate stops to a full-blown casino resort with a spacious upstairs lounge. You can book a room at the Grand for slot machines and on-site dining, or you could grab a clean, quiet room at the Days Inn for the best value in town, just a short drive from the Pottawatomie County courthouse.
I have slept in most of these beds myself, checking in late and out early. One thing is clear: skip the American Inn entirely.
The list below sorts the rest, from places with oversized bathtubs to three-week work stays.
