A very old fashioned hotel. Howard Johnson is a legendary brand. This hotels infrastructure is somewhat dated, but the rooms were 5Star Clean, and the beds were super comfortable and well made. AC was cold, shower had great pressure and very hot, soft clean towels! Absolute steal and I will stay here anytime I am heading to Gothenburg.

Only down side is that the Hotels.com listing says there is a pool, there is no pool at this location.
Great location, restaurants within a 5 minute walk.

Great spot for an overnight stop. Very comfortable beds and pet friendly. Super nice staff. We had the oatmeal, cereal, muffins and yogurt for breakfast before getting on the road.

It is understandable that the place appears run down the building has been around since the first Bush administration. with that said, I think the staff has done a great job with the canvas they have been given to paint on. they were very helpful. the room itself had a funky smell to it immediately that I never got used to and the shades are old and do not block out the sun early in the morning from an eastern facing room.

We've stayed at the Gothenburg HoJo's before and will continue to stay there whenever visiting central Nebraska. Over the years the staff is always friendly and courteous, and the rooms nicely furnished and very clean. There is never a question as to as to where we'll hang our hats overnight when in the Cozad, Gothenburg, Brady or Maxwell area.

Nice, clean, and comfortable. Those are the big 3, eight? Nothing too fancy, but a nice hot breakfast in the morning. Showed up late and the staff was friendly and efficient. I'd stay there again

Clean, comfortable mattress, nice amenities except for the bar of soap at the sink. Helpful staff and an adequate breakfast. The main negative was that the toilet definitely needs to be replaced in room 115. Permanent stains that need a pumice stone with scrubbing or simply replace it! Besides that, we have stayed here before and will probably stay again.

The room was not bad, but the staff, hallway, and breakfast were not good at all. I walked by the front office only to see the room filled with vape smoke, and breakfast for the two days was beyond terrible. I had to ask if anyone was tending to breakfast as it was advertised to be open from 6 to 9 AM, and we were in the breakfast area at about 7:45.

I had booked my room through Expedia, and I still received a message from the hotel that I could check in online by uploading my license, putting in my car make model and license plate, and even my credit card number for incidentals - which I did. When I arrived at the hotel, they required me to do this yet again even though the text message that I received explained that now all I had to do was pick up my keys.

When I was checking out, I asked for a receipt, and the receptionist stated that since I booked online that there was not a receipt from the hotel…but when I checked my credit card statement, three days later, I saw that they had double charged my credit card in addition to what Expedia had charged me. I am currently attempting to get this charge refunded.

Plenty of parking but we saw lots of glass on the parking lot which looked like car window breakage. The worst breakfast ever we had in hotel, wish I can share pictures. Gravy and biscuits, the gravy was in crock pot probably several days old, 1 molded orange, about 2-3 yogurts in warm fridge with warm milk in it as well. This was out second time to stay in Howard Johnson, the first one was not nice as well so we thought give them one more chance but never again.

My bathroom needed a serious deep clean. Upon checking the window to see the weather outside, I discovered the window track was BLACK with mold. Im only guessing the rest of the AC hadnt been cleaned in a long time. The pool has also long been abandoned and I can only imagine what the curtains are hiding in there. Not a good hotel at all. Needs a serious deep clean by a cleaning crew.

Not sure about this one

The hotel is old and in need of updating and a deep clean wouldn't hurt. There are a lot of Band-Aids to make things work.

If you are expecting breakfast you better be there well before 8:00 as there was no food left. Only a few pieces of white bread and sugar cereals.

On the positive side, the staff was nice (they can't do anything about the condition or amount of food provided).

Our room was fairly clean but the bathroom is very old and you just can't get it clean.

Best Deal in town

I was pressed to find a room. I’m gonna get the spelling wrong but the precious young lady at the desk (Joscelyn) was SO kind and friendly. Went above and beyond. She helped me book through my app in order to get points. First thing walking in I noted how clean and fresh smelling the lobby was. Could believe how nice this room was. You won’t find a better deal along I-80.

Thumbs Up

Our stay overall was pretty good. We did the digital check in but still had to sign/initial paperwork and provide my ID (done in the digital check in). The staff was nice and friendly enough. The room was clean and cool so that was nice. I don’t like that the light to the bathroom was outside (would wake my family when going to the bathroom. The toilet was a little lower than expected so that took a second to adjust. The water in our shower would pool up until the shower was off then it went down. The breakfast was satisfactory, I was expecting more than what they had though. Some eggs and sausage/bacon would have been nice in addition to the various cereals, biscuits and gravy (gravy was in a crockpot to stay warm), waffle machine and yogurts. There were also bagels, toast, etc. For the 1 night we stayed, it was good.

Couldn’t get the heat to work in our room, asked the front desk about it. Was told that it was probably too cold outside for it to work and just leave the heat on low it will eventually warm up. Well it didn’t. The first night we froze! We ended up unplugging the unit. The next night we plugged it back in and had heat. We also didn’t like that they didn’t touch up our room during our three nights. I finally took the used towels to the front desk to get clean ones. Also the pool is closed and doesn’t look like it’s ever going to open again. We love the tea machine in the lobby and breakfast was okay. We were happy that the handicap room provided a shower seat.

I checked in. Room 227 was filthy. The bathroom was disgusting. There was poop on the toilet seat and urine all over it and the floor. The bed undoubtedly had not been changed from previous occupant. They moved me to room 217. Bathroom was as filthy as 227. 3rd room - marginal but slightly better. I spend about 50-60 nights a year in hotels. I don’t ever give bad reviews. This place is disgusting. If you don’t mind sitting in someone else’s feces on the toilet seat it might be your place thoughvv

A dated facility. Upon checkin we learn there has been a “boil water” alert due to problems in Gothenburg which has been in effect for a couple of weeks. Tap water was not safe due to Ecoli and bottled water had to be used which the motel had none to offer us. We had to go buy bottled water. Neither Expedia nor the hotel informed us of the health threat before arriving at the motel. We would have stayed in another city had we known of the conditions.

We did not have an animal but we were put in a pet friendly room that stunk of dog. The carpet was filthy. There was a stain on bottom of bed that smelled of animal urine. The bathroom light/fan was falling out of ceiling and making god awful noise. Pictures werent hung on walls, just sitting on floor. Pictures from interent did not match what it really looked like inside. It stunk of stale cigarette smoke everywhere in hotel. So disappointing for the price. Front desk clerks did not even look up and acknowledge anyone walking in and out. Very impersonal. I was on the road for 12 hours that day and just wanted shower and sleep but felt dirtier and more tired when i left there. I have left a complaint on main website and of course no response. Ridiculous for that price!
