Would not stay again
The room was just ok. I questioned the cleanliness of the beds. It’s very outdated and needs some TLC. I wouldn’t stay there again.

Good value and location
I chose this hotel for the cost (low) and location. It was a good value and centrally located. The family that runs the place was kind and accommodating. The room was certainly old but felt clean and had a nice view out the back.

The motel is a bit old and some things are outdated, but my room was very clean and the guy working at the front desk was polite and helpful. Overall I can't complain for $66 per night.

Comfortable place near Lincoln
The property is in a quieter spot of town away from the congestion in the center. It's also an easy drive to get to downtown Lincoln.

A delightful bit of nostalgia
I had a 2 bedroom cottage and it was delightful. The staff was friendly and helped. A basic accommodation that may not be for everyone, but I enjoyed my stay.

Adorable motel with recently renovated cabins. New bed and bedding, bathroom was recently painted and had a new toilet. Cabins are older but the owners have taken the time to keep them fresh. An excellent location for hikers, such as myself, wanting a warm bed for a good nights rest and be near trailhead but not have to pay an arm and a leg. Will definitely be back.

Nice self contained unit with a microwave, fridge and coffee maker. Although obviously an older unit it’s equally obvious that it is well looked after and I thought a great value for the area.
