The hotel is very clean and comfortable throughout Andrew was very helpful during check in The mobile key wouldn’t work so I ended up getting a key made for the door

The room was spacious and the A/C worked great! The bathroom door did not shut completely, so that could be a problem if someone was sharing the roomThe only other “bad” thing is that either they have a lot of softener in their water or their products in the bathroom are just extra slimey It felt like I couldn’t completely wash off the products I used that were providedThe breakfast was really good! They had a large spread including three types of eggs (boiled, scrambled, or as a patty for sandwiches), sausage patty, biscuits and gravy, and they had a really cool oatmeal bar! I have never seen one of these at a hotel breakfast before, so that was exciting They included several different toppings like brown sugar, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, coconut, cinnamon and more! Loved it!Loved the location proximity to food as well! It shares a parking lot with Buffalo Wild Wings, but plenty of other options were available within 05-1 mile

Wow That sums up our stay at the Fairfield in Grand Island Perhaps this place was so impressive because the last place we stayed was so abysmal, but I don’t think so

Our room was surprisingly large, very clean, well maintained, with incredibly comfortable beds/pillows, and the kind of at home comfort you do not expect from a hotel Breakfast was considerably nicer than any other hotel I have stayed, the swimming pool was large & fun, staff were attentive and friendly, location is spectacular with numerous restaurants very close by, and the parkings areas were large & well lit The only criticism I could think of, and it is nit picky, is that the exhaust system in the bathroom took some time to circulate the steam out If that is the worst thing this place has to offer, you can consider it to be THE place to stay in Grand Island area

This hotel packed quite a pleasant surprise when we walked in

The room was much bigger than expected and had a separate living room/entertaining area away from the sleeping area The furniture was decent and the whole room was inviting to weary travellers after a 13hr day on the road The only part of our experience that was unpleasant was the distance from the highway to the hotel Late at night, it seemed MUCH further than it did after we were fully rested Other plusses include a Starbucks nearby and should you need it, a home depot in the same PlazaIf you’re passing by, this spot is worth the little but of extra time it takes to drive there from Interstate 80

Best kept M6 I’ve ever seen Clean rooms, clean lobby, clean hallways, even the grass was well maintained Friendly staff also

Only one minor issuekey cards didn’t work in side and back doors Great dog friendly motelIn contrast we stayed at the La Quinta, Southwest in Omaha on the way to Wisconsin Also a dog friendly motel Worst place we ever stayed in Surprising La Quinta let’s their name stay on that dump

chalug

I’m not sure how this place has a 41 star rating Based on noise and maintenance, I can’t see that this place would get that rating

There is NO noise cancelling features built into this place If you have a first floor room, you WILL hear the people above you walking around If people are talking on the other side of the wall, you will hear them clearly There is a truck stop across the road The truckers leave their trucks running overnight (which, for many reasons, they need to do); but you will hear it all night longSpend a few more bucks and avoid this off the interstate motel

The total ignorance of the front desk staff at 6:30 pm completely turned our stay into a mess They couldn’t find our reservation, which was made by phone call and not on line When she finally found it, we paid by credit card and it said it was approved but the desk clerk said it wasn’t

She then said we needed to use a different card which we did not want to but we did because she gave us no other choice The next card was approved so now we have paid twice, and we showed her on our phone that it had come out twice and she said there was nothing she could do so our 2 cards had been charged for a total of $45000, she clearly had no idea what she was doing and she obviously didn’t care She told us to stop down in the morning and they could fix it then When we did the morning clerk knew nothing about it and said we would have to wait until at least Tuesday before it would be corrected! No one clearly cared that I had been charged $450 instead of the $19600 I was told I would pay The next morning our room card would not work so that had to be corrected also, so it is very obvious she had no idea what she was doing We feel we should get ALL of our money back for this mess we have to go through

Vera Tjarks

When we arrived she couldn’t find our reservation and when she finally found it I used my credit card and it went through and she said it didn’t, then when I told it did go through she said I needed to use another card and I did and it went through also and I was charged twice and she said she couldn’t do anything about it, the 11pm person would have to take care of it so the next morning I went to see what was done and he told me they couldn’t put the charge back on my card until Tuesday! I’m very frustrated with them and will not stay there again

We booked a room with 2 queen beds and a couch We checked in and they “decided” to just change our room setup to only 1 bed and a couch without telling us until we arrived We paid extra for the bigger room

We have 4 people to fit in this room They are not understanding and are not giving us any money back or any other type of accommodation One of us has to sleep on the floor Absolutely rude to us too Never staying here again 0/10

Clean, comfortable room, and breakfast was great Besides the usual cereal, toast, waffles, juice, they had wonderful omlettes!Also, they let me plug my hybrid car into their outside outlet for free They also have a fast charger for all-electric cars, and charge $2

00 per hourThe only complaint was the occasional smell of smoke in the hallways Someone must have been smoking just outside the doors

JP Menvielle

We had a great night’s stay here driving through on our way home The room was large and the pillows comfy We also had a great breakfast that saved us from yet another fast food stop on our road trip

It was quiet and we slept well The best part of this hotel came after we left My daughter forgot her stuffed animal- she is three and brings it with her everywhere We got home and realized she’d left it in the bed She was devastated I called the hotel and the employee working went above and beyond to find the stuffy, and then mailed it back to us We are so thankful!

Jim Cincotta

I was looking for a room for three on our way to Wisconsin The rate was excellent, the rooms were clean and neat, and the staff was helpful Breakfast offering was limited but appreciated

Old-school, receipt-under-the-door delivery on check-out made it quick Location is right off the freeway There is an EV charging station nearbyI gave 3 stars on the room because of the tight shower, the lack of USB charging options, and limited electrical receptacles in the sleeping area I also found it difficult to find a parking spot for our truck and trailer given the orientation of the hotel and parking lots

I was in a room with two queen beds It was a good sized room I was impressed with everything the kitchen was stocked with

The stove top was a tad challenging to figure out I was on the top floor so the noise from other rooms was minimal My only complaint about the room was the lack of lighting options in the bathroom There’s no nightlight or vanity mirror light to turn on in the night, you have to go full overhead and shower I used the fitness center as well and it was great I was pretty impressed with the equipment; it was much better than other hotels I’ve been in recently It was strange that it’s in a shared space with the laundry center but it wasn’t a problem The proximity of this hotel to restaurants, stores and the mall was great

David Pringle

75 dollar up charge for small pets That’s more than on the Vegas Strip Be aware of the prices in this area

they are highwaymenJUSTIN Thank you for you reply You’re correct I didnt stay there because like a highwayman your establishment is price gouging pet owners We did stay in town in an equally nice hotel Were eating breakfast right now And for travelers with pets There are nice places in the Grand Island area that only charge 15 dollars for a pet

We were not happy with a few things in our room but when we informed the front desk, they made things right and switched us rooms Staff is super friendly, definitely gives the family vibes The breakfast they offered was amazing and had great variety

Big Thank you to Cheryl and her extra efforts in making our stay comfortable

Cole Warner

This is a pretty well maintained facility The rooms have been mostly updated and are very clean The room I was in had serviceable carpets, though a little worn

Beds were very comfortable Decor was nice Free wifi worked well The staff were very helpful and accommodating Free continental breakfast with a nice variety Excellent area for restaurants and amenities Good value I would come here again

Rick Colina

Booked last minute on a road trip Upon driving up, we were uneasy about staying here Checked in anyway

The room had an odd smell but we decided to power through and stay for the night As my daughter got in bed, a cockroach ran across the table next to her Went back to the front desk and she was super apologetic and assisted in getting us a refund Staff is great but the hotel itself needs some work

I have stayed here a number of times over the years and always feel so comfortable! Staff is so kind and patient with me as a lot of the times I’ve stayed, I’ve been traveling alone with 3 small kids I am thankful for the hotel as a “home base” for me and my kids whole traveling to GI to see family The staff is also so welcoming to my family members who often sit and enjoy some coffee in the lobby while waiting on me and my kiddos

Thank you guys!

Todd Elliott

Without going into too much detail our toilet was clogged We told them about it at check in and gave them 5 hours to get it cleaned We returned and it was NOT fixed

Short story long we ended up doing it ourselves after calling down and waiting another hour for maintainence to come up After we fixed it he came and apologized saying he went to the wrong room the first timePoor performance by this hotel We were compensated but still poor service We will NOT stay at the Hampton inn in Grand Island ever again There are so many other options

April Poteat-Brittain

Very old hotel and smelled like cigarettes in the room even though it was a non-smoking room Bathroom toilet outdated and broken tiles in the bathroom Beds were somewhat comfortable

Only one elevator in the hotel but plenty of stairs throughout Friendly service and the breakfast was delicious! One thing we found funny was at check in we were given two green strips of paper that informed us of the free Continental breakfast in there restaurant (that is no longer a restaurant) There was nothing that specified on the paper that we were to bring it in order to have breakfast When we arrived at the restaurant there was a small table with a fishbowl that said we must put the the paper in order to have breakfast! Luckily, I had put them in my wallet However, I think we would have been okay if we had forgot them because there was no staff monitoring who was coming and going

Mykela

Stayed a night here with my boyfriend and dog, rooms were great in size with couch, bathrooms are a bit small but very nice regardless Breakfast was good, had some biscuits and gravy and some cut up sausage

Pool and hot tub was amazing, close to the interstate and Grand Island but not too close, it was definitely quiet and nice, would stay here again

August Beise

Pretty gross, stayed here with my dad on 07/06/2022 Got here and it smelt like formaldehyde, the room smelt even stronger of it The lady at the front desk gave us bad energy

Then when we went in the room it was just filthy, the pictures make it look newer and well lit, but it was dark and old, dirty, had bugs and a slimy tub too Not worth the price at all, the only okay thing was the breakfast, it was normal hotel breakfast I would not recommend this hotel to anyone unless you enjoy wasting your money

If I could give it a 0 Star rating I would with how my wife was treated in front of our child Was informed upon check-in that they couldn’t stay due to being locals They were having a Mother/Daughter staycation

Even though she used our local information to book through an outside source They were extremely rude and told my wife to leave upon asking to speak with a manager then the gentleman behind the counter threatened to call the police We would highly recommend Holiday Inn Express! They gave us a room with no hassle and the facility was excellent!
