I have stayed at Gateway Motel multiple times and every time my experience is great! The rooms are clean and the staff are friendly and helpful. Sheila always goes out of her way to make sure everything is good. Also good SRONG coffee! I go out of my way to stay here and I work all over Nebraska!
Everything was very good. They even have gas grills placed out front of your rooms for use. The only bad thing I can say is the wifi is weak. But all in all a very good motel.
The rooms aren't fancy but they're fairly modern and most importantly clean. You can't beat the price and the owners might be the friendliest most helpful people I've ever met. Its the only place I'll stay when im in town for work.
Very nice room, clean, and they even provided a "Rag" for whatever you need, i.e. wash your boots, wipe your care window, that way you don't use their white towels as rags. Pretty ingenious
Not to bad. Very nice front desk lady. Simple room, fridge, microwave, bed, not sure you could ask for more!
This place is awesome! Don't listen to trip advisor. Rooms are super clean. Staff is super friendly and helpful!
Room was clean the guy running the place was very friendly and helpful nice older motel motel
Basic motel excels at everything. Reasonably priced. Very clean, recently updated rooms and bathrooms. Everything worked, AC efficient, very fast WiFi, full cable TV with all basic channels. Park in front of your room. Ample parking for big trucks, motorhomes, etc. Friendly management is eager to please.

Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in City. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
