A great bang for ones buck considering it's an older huge establishment. Beds are comfy and clean. Pool/ hot tub nice. Staff friendly(Harlen 5*). Location convenient and surprisingly quiet. Included breakfast was wonderful. Grand Island has every store ya could ever need. Highly recommend this Quality Inn. Would stay again.

Amazing place to stay. Beautiful & Clean rooms and friendly staff. Hot tub and pool on site. I was traveling with my grandfather who is 90 and the staff went above and beyond to assist in any way possible 10/10 would stay again!

It is quite funny that all the hotels (even 4 star) I’ve stayed at during my road trip to the west coast couldn’t compare to this small one. Everywhere you turn the area smells clean. Our room and bathroom were cleaner than the 5-6 hotels mentioned. Most hotels feel eerie, but I felt warmth here. Staff are exceptional at their jobs. The chef that prepared breakfast was friendly and welcoming. I am thankful to have been able to stay at this small hotel where the housekeeping staff worked hard to maintain. I have huge respect and appreciation for what they do, as their work made a difference for me. I hope to stay here again when I pass by in the future.

Wifi doesn't work well. The washing machines don't work. The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. The hallways smell stinky but I think that was just someone needing to wash their butt, idk. Review is subject to change depending on how breakfast is tomorrow morning Breakfast was amazing

Good basic hotel to spend the night while traveling. Nothing fancy at a decent price. Staff, friendly and pleasant at check-in Lobby, as well as room were clean, if not a bit dated. Appears to be well maintained. No complaints. Not generally a fan of most Quality Inn properties. This one was the exception. Good job to the management and staff here.

Great hotel off I-80. We stayed on the way to visit family in Colorado and liked it so much we stayed again on our return home. We initially picked this hotel because of their dog policy and reviews. Incredible value for what is offered. The room was a little dated but quite spacious and clean, the bed was comfortable. We didn’t spend time in the pool, but loved relaxing in the hot tub after driving all day. Breakfast was better than what I’ve found is typically offered at hotels. We will definitely bookmark this hotel next time we pass through.

I was very satisfied with my stay here. The room was spacious, and I appreciated having a patio door since I was traveling with my dog- bathroom trips were much easier! The bed was comfortable, the TV package was good, and the breakfast was terrific. The property is definitely aging, but well done renovations give the impression of a newer building than it is. I definitely feel like this hotel represents an excellent value for what you get. The only things I’d criticize (and this is being very nit-picky) would be the lack of USB outlets in rooms, and my shower head had only two settings, and one of them didn’t work very well. I like to roadtrip 1-2x per year. I will definitely keep you guys in mind when I head west.
