I was on the road from Salt Lake to St Louis and after driving 12 hours I just wanted a clean place to lie down with some heat and quiet. Great price. The manager, probably the owner, upgraded my room. Yes, it's an older building with older facilities and I don't recommend the orange juice, but it's more than enough for a Frugal Traveler.

Clean room, especially the bathroom.

Breakfast was small and cold, but filling and fresh. Heat/AC worked great. Frankly this was the best we have gotten for such a rate. Oh, and the beds had clean linens, variety of pillow types, and medium firmness, for those that need to know.

The owner tried to swindle me out of another $46.17. He was a cheat and a scoundrel. Do not use your credit cards there he will likely scam you on your cards. He accused me of smoking in a non- smoking room which is clearly false because I’ve been a non smoker for over 10 years. I called and filed a complaint with Expedia and called the Kearney Nebraska non-emergency phone hotline. Hotel was not worth the headache.

They ended up paying for the room but I had prepaid (non-refundable), so I think they got both payments for 1 room. They didn’t speak enough English that we will probably never get the money back.

Cheap, clean, and easy.

Set your expectations. This is pretty much a classic roadside motel. My room was clean and appeared to be fairly recently renovated, but it's still an old facility. I'm pretty sure the man at the desk lives there because he checked me in at 1am, and was there when I dropped my key at 9:30am. Love being able to park by my door for a quick overnight stop. Didn't hear other guests coming or going, so nice and quiet. When I sat on the bed, I wasn't expecting much, but I slept like a baby and woke up well rested. Wifi worked. Premium channels. The only thing I would caution is the connecting doors between rooms have a peephole. Or at least mine did. So, I would recommend the property get rid of those or cover them up. Otherwise, I would stay here again any day when traveling I-80.

Last minute booking. I originally looked at this hotel because of price. I noticed laminate floors in the room pictures and all the reviews mentioned clean rooms.
This was an anniversary trip and I noticed an hot tub room was available. The cost was still less than a national chain in the same hotel area.
Owner was nice and offered information about things to do in the area. Room was clean. Floors are lvt. No musty smell in the room. The only reason not getting 5 stars is towels and furniture are a little worn.

Down and dirty in Kearny

Why does Hotels.com do business with substandard places like this? The place reminded me of the dingy, rundown $25 a night motels in Gallup, NM. The grouchy old east Indian owner/clerk was the icing on the cake for this dive of a place where time has stood still. The only thing modern were the TV, refrigerator and microwave. Everything else was dated and looked liked mismatched 60's furniture bought at bulk from an auction. The blankets and towels were paper thin and the mattresses and pillows were old and lumpy. We were accused of bringing a dog into the room when there was none but Mr. grouch had to come see for himself because he claimed his wife saw one on her security camera. Not worth the $100 we paid. We deserve a refund.

Over and over he asked: Are you just one person. Also: Do you have any animals. I indicated that I did not. He asked again. He asked if I had a dog. On and on as if he didn't believe me. All in a gruff voice.

2) The room was nice and very clean but the bed looked like a 5 year old had made it. I half expected the sheets to be dirty but they appeared freshly laundered.

Everything in the room worked fine except for the room was not clean the floor were dirty the counters were dirty some of the pillow cases did have weird stains but the bed was very comfortable the hot tub was amazing so I didn't complain too much but when you rent a motel room you at least expect the floor to be clean and it did not feel good stepping out of the hot tub or the shower and stepping on things that had not been swept up Other than that the room was all right for the price I cannot complain
