Very nice and clean

We were in a handicap room and it was very spacious and all the comforts we needed. The sliding door to the bathroom was appreciated for easy entry however it definitely needs a door stop to avoid catching your hand when closing it. It glides so nice and easy but the handle slams against the wall. Minor issue but the finger that was pinched would appreciate it :-) Breakfast options were great as usual and staff was very nice!

Highly recommend this place. Quick check-in, contemporary decor, nice room. Breakfast had everything you'd want - hot eggs, sausage, potatoes, biscuits/gravy, muffins, cinnamon rolls, yogurt, cereal, and more. Friendly staff. Thank you!

I arrived at the hotel on Saturday, January 25th, at 2:40 PM. The teenage girl at reception told me my room was ready, but she would only give it to me if I joined the hotel’s rewards program. I told her I wasn’t interested, but she insisted two more times. On the third attempt, she said that if I didn’t become a member, she could only give me the room by charging an "early check-in" fee—even though it was only 15 minutes before 3 PM. I thought she was joking, but she was serious, so I had to stand at the counter with my 8-year-old son. At 2:55 PM, I asked, "Can you give me the key now?" She checked her watch, said no, and then put up a sign saying she’d be back in 15 minutes. She explained she had to help another customer with a complaint. I asked her to give me my room first, but she said there were still 3 minutes left until 3 PM. Another customer then said, "OK, let’s wait until 3." So we stood there, waiting for the clock to strike 3 PM. The whole situation was so ridiculous, it felt like a joke.

Great place!

I love Holiday Inn, and I always look for one when I travel. The one in Kearney was not only clean, but the staff was welcoming without being overbearing, and the beds were oh-so comfortable!
