Great location right next to Mormon Island. Housekeeping,front desk and everything was good. May not be your home,but it's like a second place to call home. And I have stayed in lots of motels on my travels, it was awesome. This place is good.

This is a really nice motel. The pictures don't lie. My room was clean, well stocked with towels. The bathroom was clean as well. The staff was very friendly and the price was fair. They just need to get flat screen TVs in the rooms. There were (no bugs)in the bed or anywhere in the room. It is a quiet place to stay. I will stay here again.

We were very happy to find this place so close to the interstate, for a great price even traveling on a holiday weekend, as we were traveling late into the night. They are pet friendly which is wonderful traveling with our dog. The room is not modern, with more dated furnishings, but also bigger than many modern expensive hotels that barely have enough room to step around the bed. We appreciated the king sized bed, and there was still plenty of room to relax on the couch or sit at the table, and let the dog stretch his feet. I like that the sink is outside of the shower/toilet area so one can get ready while the other is in the bathroom. While the bedding is not new, it was clean. We felt that it was a good value for the price. The owners were friendly, even when we arrived well after midnight. We aren't breakfast eaters but took a peek and it had your typical waffles, toast, cereal, coffee and juice. Parking lot looks like it would work for larger truck parking too. We are happy to support a small business instead of a large chain.

This place is good and the owners clearly care. The rooms were clean. Dated (90s) but good. I've stayed at 200 to 300 a night and have stayed in worse. The only complaint I have is I'm a non-smoker but my wife isn't and the room smelled like cigarettes. The beds are stiff but fine when you've been on the road for a long time. Bottom line stay and support this hotel so they can remodel and step into 21st century!

Staff is great. Rooms are always clean and location is right next to a large truck stop with a full restaurant, subway, and little Caesars. Best price in the grand island area. The pet surcharge is only 10 dollars. They have smoking and non smoking rooms available and a lot of parking. Area is also safe for parking. Stayed here a long time for work and no issues at all.

Nothing bad about this place at all. We stayed over night in a smoking room. I was surprised how fresh it smelled. Beds were extremely comfortable, crisp, clean sheets, comfy pillows. The place is clean and kept up. Managers were extremely nice and continental breakfast was delicious. Biscuits and gravy baby!!! :) Cheapest around also.

This is an older family owned motel located just off the Interstate (80). My room was spacious, clean and offered a couch to relax upon. My room also offered both an exterior doorway and an interior doorway to the hallway. Such an excellent design and convenience. Check-in was smooth and all staff was friendly and helpful. A continental breakfast was available: including make your own waffles, cinnamon rolls, bread, cereals, biscuits & gravy (very tasty), milk, and coffee. My stay was due to a winter blizzard that closed the Interstate 40 miles ahead. I had an excellent 18 hour stay and appreciate the of this family owned business. This property is located adjacent to a beautiful park. Grand Island Nebraska offers much more to see and do. Truck and bus hard surface parking is also available.
