Stayed 1 night

The office door was secured around the clock, which is quite convenient. The staff were exceptionally friendly, making the check-in process a breeze. However, the parking lot was in poor condition. Our room key was malfunctioning, and we needed assistance from the staff to get it open. I even cut my finger on the inside door handle, so exercise caution. The room itself was relatively clean and had a tolerable smell. Unfortunately, the air conditioner was extremely noisy and didn't function very well. The shower was unstable and appeared as though it could collapse at any moment. The beds were old and sagging spring mattresses, leading to an uncomfortable night's sleep. You truly get what you pay for.

This place was THE WORST PLACE I HAVE EVER STAYED IN. Never again. The web page and pictures are very misleading. I felt like I was sleeping in a trap house. Very disappointing. When I contacted Hotels.com there wasn't anything they could help with, and yes I booked through Hotels.com. $308.For the worst 2 nights ever. I'm not even joking, when credit is due I will definitely give it. This place definitely doesn't deserve it. I booked for 4 people and only 2 bath towels and they were even stained with who knows what. Like I said definitely would not recommend this place at ALL.

For a quick overnight, it was really easy. However, we were in Nebraska during the 90+ temperatures, and the room was hot (maybe 80) when we got there at 11pm. It never cooled down, despite the A/C on all night (it was on when we got there, but I'm guessing not for long, as it wasn't cool). That made for a poor night's sleep...and we had a long drive the next day! The breakfast was a sack-lunch affair with only a few items (which we kind of expected, but my gluten-free spouse couldn't eat hardly any of it). Good for a night, and the bed was nice! Just wish it was cooler.

It was fine for an inexpensive overnight stay. The "free breakfast" was a bag with water bottle, banana and cereal bar. We booked two rooms that were adjacent but not connected but that worked out well in a shared recess. Bed was not super comfortable but that was more my body's fault, not the bed. The staff recommendation of "Shoemakers Restaurant" was a good one

Well, you get what you pay for - unfortunately I paid for a cheap hotel that had breakfast included - at least as posted on Hotels.com and there was nothing for breakfast except coffee and tea. The water pressure and hot water was good in the shower, so that was decent. Nothing special, a place to sleep.

I didn't expect a whole lot for the price but when it says breakfast included with pictures of a nice breakfast bar and you get a white paper sack with a bottle of water, a warm cup of fruit and a tiny granola bar I'm highly disappointed! Completely inaccurate and honestly false advertising!

The free breakfast consisted of a pre-bagged breakfast, we were not given a choice of what foods. Due to allergies & other health issue, I was not able to eat any of it. The bedding was so thin as to be non-existence. This motel is located in Lincoln, Nebraska and it was winter, so the bedding didn't provide any warmth. As this is the case for every motel I've stayed in for the last few years, this seems to be the normal. I have started taking an electric blanket in order to be warm while sleeping.
