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.

BASIC motel, no amenities like Kleenex’s, coffee pot, pillows are size of bag of marshmallows. The room was fine, bathroom needs some LOVE. Nice tv and comfy beds, except for pillows, clean and accessible. On our way to Lincoln, received call telling me I needed a $200.00 cash deposit to stay at facility, if I had not been driving, I would have canceled reservation. However when we arrived, the young lady at desk said nothing about deposit and neither did I. The caller said since I was from state I needed to pay deposit!
