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.

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 The room was clean perhaps a little outdated, but it was an excellent day for the price that I paid.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.
