This hotel is the best hotel in Kearney. We booked this hotel because we wanted to attend the Kearney car show and also make it a small vacation for the kids. The kids had an absolute amazing time enjoying the hot tub, pool and the slides as well as the arcade. I have been staying at this hotel off and on for about 20 years and the quality is just a good if not better than it was back then.
