I was driving cross country and was only looking for a place to take a shower and get some sleep. I had to maneuver around some indoor construction to get to my room, but otherwise seemed clean enough. Pizza guy delivered directly to my room, shower had good pressure, and I was indeed able to get some Zs. But the most impressive part of this stay was right after I checked out. I went to open my car door and it was locked. All doors were locked and everything was in the locked car (including wallet,keys,phone). I freaked out as I was already behind schedule. Lucky for me, the front desk dude was able to page a couple of guys (who were there on construction) to help me. They were able to break into my car without any damage. Saved me a lot of time, money, and anxiety. They get 5 stars!
A nice place. Pretty clean with comfortable beds. Our room had "kitchenette" with sink, induction stove top, microwave, small fridge and freezer. Staff was friendly. Breakfast was typical, scrambled eggs, sausage links etc... Price wasn't bad either, being only a few minutes from Downtown Omaha, We'd stay here again for sure. Our only complaint, was the TV remote didn't work for the TV, so had to manually turn TV on/off, and remote worked on cable box, so pretty sure it just needs to be re-synced to TV, but wasn't a big issue.
This was a very nice hotel and glad we found it! The staff was awesome especially Kristen at the front desk. She was very helpful and kind which you don't find much anymore these days. The rooms were very clean. The breakfast was complimentary and very good and different options to fill you up. The price of this hotel was perfect as the quality of the hotel all around was 110% well worth it. This is a family ran hotel which makes it even better. We will definitely be staying here again when we come this way. I highly recommend this hotel for your stay!
After a long day of driving, all I wanted was a clean room, a hot shower, and a comfortable bed. I almost settled for a generic motel, but thankfully I found this place for just a few dollars more. I was so glad I did! The room was incredibly clean, with no unpleasant odors the moment I walked in. The staff were also very welcoming and friendly. This hotel was the perfect end to a long day on the road, and I would absolutely stay here again.
Set near casual eateries in a commercial area, this relaxed hotel off I-80 is 6 miles from Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium, and a mile from swimming and hiking in Lake Manawa State Park.
