Stay was mostly goid

The room was nice. Bed was comfortable. Fairly quiet most of the time. Only issue we had was someone came in the room (while the do not disturb sign was on the door and we were gone) and messed with items in the shower and took a bottle of prescription meds.

Would stay here again!

Great location with easy access to Omaha. None of the USB ports worked in the room, however there were ports built into the microwave (??) that worked. Very strange place for USB ports but at lease we had a charging place!

We really liked the place. The staff was really excellent. The 2 that checked us in wrote down directions for us to get to places. The TV wasn't working so one of them came down. She couldn't get it so she called the maintence man and he told her how to fix it. They were awesome. Your breakfast was very good. I would recommend your motel to anyone.
