TRAVELING STUDENTS

We have moved to a new hotel Starting Tuesday May 30, 2023

Due to security reasons, we have decided to move our hotel location. Please note effective immediately we will now be staying at:

Best Western Plus Wichita West Airport Inn

They are conveniently located near food locations and great access by highway. Other than the location of the hotel, nothing else will change for you. This change will begin May 30, 2023. We wanted you to be aware in advance so that there is no confusion on your part.
Cordially,
