Nice hotel, great value
Pros:

We were looking for inexpensive hotel on a cross-country trip. This hotel was a little more expensive than some of the cheaper ones in nearby Omaha, but it had much higher ratings. We went with it, and the choice was good. The hotel communicated clearly through Booking.com. The lobby, breakfast area, and rooms were clean and cheery. The staff were very friendly, and they were welcoming of our dog (especially one staff member, who loves dogs). The mattresses were really comfortable. Breakfast selection was great (waffles, bread, cereal, eggs, sausage, gravy, etc.). If you're passing through town, it's nice to be close to the gas station across the street so you can fill up before you head out in the morning, and it's close to the interstates (I-29 and I-80).

Cons:

Everything was fine for us, but just know the hotel is not really in a walkable area.

Nice staff, poor cleanliness, and hostile customers
Pros:

The staff were super friendly and helped us get our cars parked when we arrived around 12 AM.

Cons:

The room was really dirty. The mattress had stains on it, the sheets had holes in them, and there was some dust/dirt on the tables and counters when we arrived. Also, as she was checking in, a group of guys catcalled my fiancée. I know this is a budget hotel, but stained beds/furniture and getting catcalled are things I wouldn’t even tolerate at a hostel.

Great low price amazing jacuzzi suites
Pros:

The suite with the French Doors that separate the kitchen and the living room from the bedroom and bathroom. The jacuzzi tub was wonderful.

Cons:

The jacuzzi tub tiles were broken in areas, one of the spots on the tub had pink nail polish dried on it. The curtains didn't close and cover the side of the window that people could see the bed and who was sleeping in it. We had to place the ironing board leaning on the wall to get the curtains to block the window on the left side where the bed was.

Do not recommend
Pros:

The location was good.

Cons:

There is no elevator! Our room was filthy: entire floor was sticky, the shower had not been cleaned (hair that was not ours in shower and on floor), tile floor in bathroom was really dirty. Shampoo/conditioner/ hand lotion samples on the counter were not new and had been used by previous guest because they were. open. Property is really old and dated. We had a 3 inch hole in a wall. To top it off it was horribly expensive $265.

Decent Enough
Pros:

Hotel is outdated and could use some improvements. Clean enough for one or two nights and close enough to Omaha. There is never any traffic into town. It is fine for a solo traveler just passing through. Lots of people there for youth baseball tournaments and the College World Series. Typical just OK Best Western
