The room was very clean and comfortable. The gentleman at the front desk as I checked in was very nice and very helpful. I'll definitely stay here again
Older motel but clean, quiet, comfortable and included a microwave and refrigerator in the room. Breakfast was somewhat better than I anticipated. Great value.
Our first room was missing a trash can and we wanted extra pillows and another blanket, so we got upgraded to a king bed with four pillows and an extra blanket!
Reasonably priced, and clean. The king size bed was very comfortable. I recommend this hotel, I drive through Nebraska regularly and will stay there again.
The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming and ensured we were happy and well taken care of. We left happy and look forward to returning the next time we pass through Kearney.
The staff was rude; the shower did'nt work, the chair was too dirty to sit on. the TV didn't work. It was a horrile experience. please remove them optionw.
The hotel is older but updated and in good condition. I enjoyed that it was close to alot of things and easy to check in. Breakfast was reasonable and everything about the place was honest
Room was nicer than expected despite looking like a trashy cheap motel. Room was clean beds were comfy everything was much nicer inside the room than what you could tell from outside. Pet Friendly would stay again price was fair.
Can hear rodents in the walls and ceiling. I asked for a refund. Was told I had to get it through Expedia. I called Expedia and they emailed manager. He then acted like he would refund me, but then denied the refund. Frustrating experience. Dirty place.
