We've stayed at the Gothenburg HoJo's before and will continue to stay there whenever visiting central Nebraska. Over the years the staff is always friendly and courteous, and the rooms nicely furnished and very clean. There is never a question as to as to where we'll hang our hats overnight when in the Cozad, Gothenburg, Brady or Maxwell area.
