For a reasonably priced hotel this place is fairly nice. I've stayed there 9 times under three ownerships and these people are the best of them. I could have used another bar of soap, but other than that the towels were fresh and the bed was nicely made every day (5 night stay). This was my second stay under this ownership.

It was fine for an inexpensive overnight stay. The "free breakfast" was a bag with water bottle, banana and cereal bar. We booked two rooms that were adjacent but not connected but that worked out well in a shared recess. Bed was not super comfortable but that was more my body's fault, not the bed. The staff recommendation of "Shoemakers Restaurant" was a good one

The room was clean and comfortable. The shower was fantastic, nice hot water, excellent pressure. Easy room access, not so easy street access. Office didnt open until, i think it was 3 pm, though, which was slightly inconvenient for my stay that particular day.

For a quick overnight, it was really easy. However, we were in Nebraska during the 90+ temperatures, and the room was hot (maybe 80) when we got there at 11pm. It never cooled down, despite the A/C on all night (it was on when we got there, but I'm guessing not for long, as it wasn't cool). That made for a poor night's sleep...and we had a long drive the next day! The breakfast was a sack-lunch affair with only a few items (which we kind of expected, but my gluten-free spouse couldn't eat hardly any of it). Good for a night, and the bed was nice! Just wish it was cooler.

The free breakfast consisted of a pre-bagged breakfast, we were not given a choice of what foods. Due to allergies & other health issue, I was not able to eat any of it. The bedding was so thin as to be non-existence. This motel is located in Lincoln, Nebraska and it was winter, so the bedding didn't provide any warmth. As this is the case for every motel I've stayed in for the last few years, this seems to be the normal. I have started taking an electric blanket in order to be warm while sleeping.
