We loved how clean everything was, actually we were very surprised by it. We booked as a last min stay on your trip through the state to get some sleep, and we were not expecting on how nice it was, not expecting to see breakfast in the morning, and the staff was extremely nice and helpful. I will 100% add this place on my route and stay here when I travel though NE again hands down.

I thought it was really nice. I think my favorite part was the size of the bathroom (the tub was not right on top of the toilet). I would recommend it to anyone, and I would stay there again. However, one staff member could have gotten his facts straight before trying to "reprimand" me. I would have liked to know if there was an option to make the mattresses more comfortable.

The hotel is very easy to find. It was clean, hotel receptionist very pleasant, & low road noise. The reason I didn't give it 4 stars is due to the breakfast. It closes down at 9 sharp & more like a continental breakfast than full breakfast. Food selections were mainly carbs! I would stay again.
