Dog friendly motel with parking at door of room. It was inexpensive so wasn’t expecting much. TV wasn’t working, had to lift up on the door to lock the deadbolt, light fixture in bathroom missing a bulb. Just a bit neglected.

The communication between the property and Travelocity was terrible. Travelocity charged my credit card but showed at check-in that I had not paid. It took over 1/2 hour to resolved by canceling your reservation and paying the property with a different card. Inexusable!

Exactly $112.86 wasted! Horrible staff, witnessed two other people treated horribly, the bathroom floor Mat was so disgusting I gave my toddler a bath in the sink. Was already 10:38 at night so moving was optional, towels were dirty sheets had not been washed, I’m now horribly sick, was asked to check out at 10:30 even though check out was 11:30, out door didn’t even lock I had to put a chair against it. DON’T GET A ROOM HERE EVER.

Cheap, clean, and easy.

Set your expectations. This is pretty much a classic roadside motel. My room was clean and appeared to be fairly recently renovated, but it's still an old facility. I'm pretty sure the man at the desk lives there because he checked me in at 1am, and was there when I dropped my key at 9:30am. Love being able to park by my door for a quick overnight stop. Didn't hear other guests coming or going, so nice and quiet. When I sat on the bed, I wasn't expecting much, but I slept like a baby and woke up well rested. Wifi worked. Premium channels. The only thing I would caution is the connecting doors between rooms have a peephole. Or at least mine did. So, I would recommend the property get rid of those or cover them up. Otherwise, I would stay here again any day when traveling I-80.

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
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.

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.

Best deal, safe and clean

Clean room, especially the bathroom. Furniture was not newest, but was everything we needed for an overnight, all in good repair, and frankly we could appreciate that pieces didn't all match for sale or environment and economic factors. Breakfast was small and cold, but filling and fresh. Heat/AC worked great. Frankly this was the best we have gotten for such a rate. Oh, and the beds had clean linens, variety of pillow types, and medium firmness, for those that need to know.
