Cornhusker fans

Only a one night stay, but hotel room with spacious and clean with all amenities. We happen to be vacationing from Nebraska and proprietor had a daughter living in Omaha. Great talk with him and his family about the Huskers. Couldn’t have been friendlier or more welcoming.

Arthur, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We arrived at a very late hour and Dean and his staff sorted everything before our arrival. They were very helpful

10/10 Exceptional

Check in was quick and smoothly. The lady in the front desk was super friendly and helpful. She greeted us from the streets due to the road work that blocked the access in front of the motel. The room was nice and clean . It was well equipped with all the utilities and it make you feel like staying at your own home, doing your own cooking. That's what I want after a long day travel from Wellington to Nelson with a good shower to relax, a good meal to eat and a good bed to sleep.
Dung, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very friendly and helpful owners! A few of us were staying for a conference nearby and Dean offered to take us to the airport when we checked out. Thank you. The roadworks outside won't be there much longer. Not a problem for normal work hours. Just don't expect a sleep in until they're over.
Michael, 3-night trip

Great location and friendly and professional team.
