I didn't expect a whole lot for the price but when it says breakfast included with pictures of a nice breakfast bar and you get a white paper sack with a bottle of water, a warm cup of fruit and a tiny granola bar I'm highly disappointed! Completely inaccurate and honestly false advertising!

The free breakfast consisted of a pre-bagged breakfast, we were not given a choice of what foods. Due to allergies & other health issue, I was not able to eat any of it. The bedding was so thin as to be non-existence. This motel is located in Lincoln, Nebraska and it was winter, so the bedding didn't provide any warmth. As this is the case for every motel I've stayed in for the last few years, this seems to be the normal. I have started taking an electric blanket in order to be warm while sleeping.

This is located in an industrial area. I can’t say it was unsafe but it felt a little unsafe. Room was clean and staff very nice. Breakfast was a granola bar, applesauce, and a bottle of water so that was a little disappointing.
