We stayed in Kearney for the state speech contest held at UNK and had booked rooms at a Marriott-franchised property. On the Friday before our contest, that hotel called and cancelled our rooms since we were a school group. We found rooms at the Econo Lodge on a last-minute basis and we are very glad we did. The rate was... More

I feel like I should send a thank you note to the hotel who cancelled your rooms and gave us a chance. I am very proud of the team that we have in place, whether it is those that are making sure rooms are clean and everything is ready during the day, those welcoming guests to our hotel in the... More

Reasonable rates for clean comfortable room. Queen size beds for extra comfort. Dog friendly. Nice breakfast. Parking lot very well lit up. Food venues steps away. Close to expressway exit. Would stop again when passing thru. the Nitas from Chicago.

This was a nice hotel that was very clean. The beds were great. The one thing we missed was the flat panel T.V. The breakfast was average, did have waffles. The front desk staff took care of the breakfast area, and were very friendly. Will be back.

Our family stayed at this property driving in from Missour to attend a funeral of a family member. My parents had stayed at this hotel before but I had not. I was very apprehensive at first. Then as we pulled up to the hotel I saw all the awards this hotel had received. My experience at the hotel could not... More

I can't say enough about the quality of this Motel. It was clean, neat, i felt safe alone, and the price was very low. I didn't smell any smoke until I walked through the doors dividing the 2 sections of the motel so I assumed that one section was 'smoking'. The cleaning staff in the morning informed me that the...

I really appreciate your comments, although, I do apologize for the smoke smell. We really work at maintaining a smoke free environment for our guests, but as you know, not all guests share the same respect for other travelers. As you were able to observe and share, our staff, both housekeeping and guest services, enjoy providing award winning hospitality to... More

I stayed in this hotel last winter during a snow storm. The rooms are very nice and extremly clean! The desk staff was very polite and even upgraded me to the suite free of charge! For the price, you would be hard pressed to find a better deal in Kearney. I will definitly stay in this location again.

Yes, our rooms and breakfast area are what you would call in-expansive or, rather inexpensive. Sorry for the pun... No, thank you for sharing your comments and I'm glad that you found our accommodations "well worth the money". Also, I'm glad that you found our rooms clean and quiet.

I've stayed here twice. All rooms have pillow top queens. Pet friendly. Most important is that management takes pride in their property. Super clean! If you book it through yelp you get to talk to the front desk. And you will save $10.00

It was clean, affordable, wonderful staff. Donna was very helpful on the phone at 3am and in person at 4:30am. It was late and we needed somewhere to stop that was pet friendly. Highly recommend. Price was good. Beds were very comfortable. Coffee pot in the room made a excellent single cup of coffee.
