One word for you: "Waterslide". 'nuff said. Ok, just a few more words. My little brother and I stayed here on a x-country trip and instead of leaving early the next morning, left hours later due to the waterslides and a nearby Taco John's. You can't ask for much more in a little town like Kearney.

I am visiting NE on business and I could not find a Starwood preferred hotel to stay in this time. I opted for this. So I booked a king non smoking room through my travel agent and at check in time, I got a double smoking room. No other rooms available even though I made my reservation 3 weeks in advance.
Five years ago, I completely quit smoking, the smell alone in the room drove me to have my first cigarette in over 5 years. I am really disappointed in myself.
The next morning, I left a note on the bed for house keeping to change my sheets. Even though I was in the room when housekeeping came in, she disregarded my note and quickly made the bed with the same sheets.
Later, I was working on my computer and ordered room service before my afternoon meeting. 45 minutes later, the food had not arrived, so I called the restaurant again and they said that because the person who took my order did not write down my room number, they decided not to prepare my meal.
I think it is a safe bet, that if I ever have to come here again, I will not be staying here another night.
It is now a day after I wrote the above review. Just when I thought the laundry list of things that went wrong with my stay here, there is yet another. Initially my reservation was from Tuesday through Friday. Why did I find my folio slipped under my door on Thursday morning?
I made a call to the front desk, Joshua apologize for the mistake and offered his apologies. He later had someone deliver a new set of keys an included in the envelope a coupon for the local restaurant, a free movie pass, a coupon for the gift shop and a coupon for a McDonald's Coffee.
I thought this was a nice gesture until I got to McDonald's and learned that the coupon had expired.
My meetings in NE ended Thursday morning at 8 am. After having to wake up at 4 am and drive an hour north to Ravenna and back, I decided to sleep in from 9 to 1pm. At 1pm I removed the do not disturb sign from the door and went to lunch. House keeping never showed this time around.
Just my luck!
Clean room, comfortable beds, free drink coupon, they put me near the side door so I could sneak my cat in and out - very convenient! I was here for the first annual Nebraska Governor's Conference on Rural Development and it was perfect for the several hunded participants. Eat Local! Go Wind Power!
Those of us who hail from small towns have observed what I like to refer to as Ryan the Angry Midget's first law of small town lodging, which states that the quality of hotels/motels in a given city is inversely proportional to the population of said city. I had a lodging experience in Kearney that can only be described as something out of a George Romero horror film, so I have been pleased with the Holiday Inn to say the least. We have a state convention here once a year, and the staff is very supportive of our celebratory manner, which is to say that they ignore noise complaints from other hotel patrons and help us to hide dead hookers if such a situation arises.
