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.

Friendly front desk staff. Quiet. No workout room/pool. Small TV. Bedding was old. Pillows flat. Since we were their only non-worker guest, they asked if we needed breakfast. It was an okay place for getting off the road for 1 night of our trip. Don't recommend and would not stay there again.

I would definitely come back.
I went to Kearney for a wrestling tournament. I brought my 57 and nine-year-old children with me. I paid for the room in advance and when I got there, they were extremely nice and courteous to me. The morning breakfast is very simple, but the coffee was excellent. The room was clean perhaps a little outdated, but it was an excellent day for the price that I paid. I would definitely come back.

Owner was rude and poor customer service and insinuating you will not be able to pay even after you pay online he makes the $100 deposit sound like an additional fee you will be charged until you make him clarify. Stained sheets and cigarette matks throughout the room, oh and poor water pressure that barely flushed the toilet.

The property is fine it better than camping. Room looks clean, but towels looked dated. No power outlets for near desk area. Overall, it needs to update.

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.
