I would never stay here again. The water that came out of the bath when I turned it on was dirty and rusted colored, I did not take a shower that night which pissed me off and the room felt like it could use a deep clean, and maybe a coat of paint, the bed was decent,the pillows sucked, and the sheets were questionable.

The owner tried to swindle me out of another $46.17. He was a cheat and a scoundrel. Do not use your credit cards there he will likely scam you on your cards. He accused me of smoking in a non- smoking room which is clearly false because I’ve been a non smoker for over 10 years. I called and filed a complaint with Expedia and called the Kearney Nebraska non-emergency phone hotline. Hotel was not worth the headache.

Beds went downhill toward headboard. Furniture banged up. Not many outlets. Tv box hanging down from tv. Walk from car to doorstep was slick and snow covered. Front desk person was overly nosey. Pillows thin.

Manager woke me at 7AM to move my truck so he could feed Pigeons. Rowdy visitor to a woman's room woke me at 2AM with loud truck and LOUD music. Clean room. Will not stay again. For a few dollars more, I will go somewhere else.

Don’t stay
The management was terrible. We reserved 3 rooms. My family reserved 2 and I reserved 1. They could not find my reservation but my family had 3 rooms on theirs instead of 2. They ended up paying for the room but I had prepaid (non-refundable), so I think they got both payments for 1 room. They didn’t speak enough English that we will probably never get the money back.

I would not recommend this place not because of the service or the property itself but because they advertised a pool which they did not have

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.
