At the Travel Lodge Hotel in Fort Scott, meals are available to the public 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

“Even Christmas, Thanksgiving, the 4th of July,” said Rhonda Walker, general manager of the hotel.

“We have a full menu, all day, every day,” she said. “If you want a hamburger at 3 a.m. you can get it, if you want breakfast at 2 p.m. you can get it. We get some late-nighters.”

 

Penny’s Diner is located in the lobby of the hotel at 2505 S. Main and has been there for six years.

“People can order online and pay there, or can call in an order, or can come in,” Walker said. “Go to http://pennysdiner.com/  and it will bring up the menu.”

“We’ve got some really good cooks,” she said.

 

 

“Our hotel is a BNSF Railroad Hotel, and we also house regular guests,” Walker said. “We have 70 rooms, with nine of them extended stay.”
