Cute Little Homestead Motel
Check in was easy and fast followed with a delightful conversation. You can tell mom & pop out their hearts into this little motel. I loved staying. They even upgraded us due to hotels.com not adding my 5 year old to the reservation. It was a lovely stay. Cleaner than any other hotel or motel we have stayed at. This will be our forever stop on our way to visit family in Nevada. Thank you both for the hospitality!

Great place to stay in Sidney
We had a great stay at this motel. We had a late arrival but Karri was kind and friendly upon check-in. We had a peaceful, comfortable rest. The room was clean and adequate and very affordable. The property is conveniently located to I-80.

This motel has a lot of charm and the price is right. But the bedroom and bathroom are small and cramped. AC/fan is noisy but the room gets stuffy if it's not on. Okay for a night on the road -- probably better for a single traveler than a couple. Careful if you have long legs -- at least in our room (14) doing one's morning business was not easy with the wall right in front of the toilet.

Thank you, Richard, this motel was built when people were a bit smaller and the obstacles you mentioned are just part of its unavoidable charm. We work very hard here and have served so very many people on their journeys. We are very grateful for each and every one of you. Safe travels!

It's a "no frills" place, yet the owner had included real china cups and a cloth napkin in my room (king-size bed). The bedding was quite comfortable, and the wi-fi worked well. The price couldn't have been better. Clean & comfortable. I will be back again when I'm in the Sidney area.

This room was a perfect combination of price, comfort and location. The Motel is about two miles from the interstate; the area is very quiet. Dining options are within an easy drive of about a mile. The bed was very comfortable, the AC kept me cool: I had a great nights sleep. I will definitely stay here again when I am through the area.

The outside was clean and the motel was exterior was very cute. When we checked in the lady who owns it was very sweet. They are eco friendly but they obviously had just sprayed for roaches and had not checked our room prior to check in. Roaches dead everywhere in the bathroom and halfway dead. We couldn't take a shower due to the fear that the dead roaches that were stacked in the bathroom light and fan were going to fall on us. My sister and I were so tired that we did not bring anything in the room and I laid my travel blankets on the bed. We slept and quickly left. At least it was cheap. Never will go back, ugh.

This is very interesting as we do not show you as having stayed with us, perhaps under a different name? I intend to verify this with Expedia. To address the issue of the bugs you mentioned, all I can say is we have owned this property for 22 years and have never, ever had any roaches. We do have a country inn with outside entrances and we have seasons of outdoor bugs that can sometimes get in the rooms, depending on how the doors are operated. Box Elder Beetles have recently passed through the area, perhaps this is what you saw? We thoroughly clean our own rooms so surely we would have noticed if the room was as you stated. We thought once there were roaches in a room when we were new owners, we called an exterminator, and had them come to spray. Lo and behold, he said there were no roaches only a couple of water beetles and that our rooms were way too clean to have a roach issue. So. . . back to my original comment, perhaps this was another property that you are confusing us with? Otherwise, I truly do not know what to say. I will follow through as this kind of false review can be very damaging to our integrity.

Staff (husband and wife) were super friendly and helpful. The grounds were charming. Hotel was a bit off the beaten path and a bit difficult to find after dark. Definitely dated - popcorn ceiling, old fixtures, carpet and bedding. Our room was two double beds that were very close together, so it was a bit difficult to move around.

Price is right for a quick overnight stay
Nice little motel in a small Nebraska town. The price was right - we weren't expecting frills. The service was excellent - personal, friendly and quick. The bed was comfortable enough (the pillows were pretty small though). The bathroom was functional and clean. The room was hot when we arrived, but the window mount AC unit was pretty effective. Only two little grievances - one the hotel could probably rectify, the other not so much. The itty bitty tube TV was mounted in the corner above the headboard end of the bed, so you couldn't really watch tv in any kind of comfortable way. And oh my gosh the moths! There were half a dozen large moths flying around the room as soon as we turned the lights on, and we were woken up in the middle of the night by a cricket *in* our room. Those particular bugs are just a product of the environment and not a reflection on the hotel itself, but they definitely added a dose of excitement to our stay.

The owner is very friendly. She has such a welcoming smile. There was also two very friendly outdoor cats that greeted you upon arrival. The room on the other hand...You get for what you pay for, I suppose. I stayed there one night while moving across country. The price was very affordable. Obviously this isn't a fancy hotel, but they could at least keep up with the cleanliness. The edges of the carpet had dead bugs, not to mention underneath my bed. Cobwebs and more dead bugs. The water was either too hot or too cold. You had to move the faucet very gently to get it to a good temperature. There was a bug crawling in my bed, which made me not want to sleep there anymore. There were a few minor details that didn't sit right with me, but it's what I paid for, I just wish the rooms were cleaner.

Hi There, Thank you for your review. After checking into the issues you mentioned, it was found that the bugs were Millers. You happened to arrive during our 2-week blitz with them. We check each room after we clean it, as we do all our own cleaning. These little pests are quick so we make sure the room is clear but once the room is rented, the lights are turned on and a door is opened, they get right in. I do apologize for the trouble but that is the only issue we found. The shower faucet is touchy but as of yet, we have no solution to that matter. We wish you safe travels!

Lovely little place, nice people.
We ended up in a sweet little suite, snuggling in pretty good after a day of picture taking, none at the motel. If we could convince BNSF to make their trains quite it would be perfect. Everywhere we have ever stayed in Nebraska it seems that the nations infatuation with coal will wake you up 4 or five times a night.
