I’ve stayed at this hotel many times while traveling for work and will continue to do so because I really enjoy it. However, at this stay I had to ask guest services to send someone to my room to clean the floor. It looked like a muddy mess was hastily cleaned up or the mop and bucket used to clean it initially was filthy. Yuck.

We very much enjoyed our visit!! We played hard in the pool area until a storm come. But on the note the staff was very helpful and watching the weather and preparing us that we may have to get out. My husband and I enjoyed the hot tub! It was clean, it was large enough for lots of adults, and it was the perfect temp!

Best place for a family to stay in Kearney

If you have a family, this is the only place to stay in Kearny! For just a few more dollars, you can literally go first class and stay here. Your kids will love it, and so will you. Very easy access off of the interstate, and it's right by all of the major restaurants and activities.
