A must stay in Kearney
We had connecting rooms which made our stay with our grandkids special. The facility was clean and service was excellent. The pool complex and waterslides were a huge hit! Wonderful restaurants within walking distance too.

Best place for a family to stay in Kearney
If you have a family, this is the only place to stay in Kearny!
For just a few more dollars, you can literally go first class and stay here. Your kids will love it, and so will you. Very easy access off of the interstate, and it's right by all of the major restaurants and activities.

Great, clean & modern family hotel with water park
This is a nice hotel. Very classy, clean, and welcoming. Our room was clean, spacious, and functional. The bed was comfortable. The water park is great. The water is actually warm! The water slides are fun. The water park is very clean, not too busy, with great hours. This is a great places for families. I also loved the fitness room! So many different machines, also very clean. There is a Starbucks inside the hotel, so this made getting coffee that I ordered through the app super easy. Definitely recommend this place when you’re traveling through Nebraska.

Very nice and clean hotel. Only complaint is they claim that 2 queen beds will sleep 5, and do not have the option of a cot or rollaway bed. Plan accordingly.
