Rodeway Inn Blair

It's a room for sleeping. Bed was comfy. Asked for extra pillows and blankets at the front desk at check in no problem. The staff are very nice! Room is average and clean. Needs maintenance for carpets walls and flooring. You can hear people walking upstairs but luckily they were not too noisy. Overall, not a bad stay. The breakfast was good. Coffee brewed fresh. No hot breakfast, just muffins, bread, cereal, 2 percent milk and sunny delight orange juice. If I had to stay the night cause of bad weather I'd choose this cozy place.

Had to stay due to weather. The staff was very accommodating and we were pleasantly surprised by how clean the room was. Would definitely stay again!

The hotel was very clean and looked really good. The snow had been cleaned off the front sidewalks and around the front door. The gentleman who helped me was pleasant . The credit card machine did not work very well is my only complain.

This is a great location for a simple, clean hotel with a big room. There are some walkable food options as well.

You get what you pay for. Dated. Rooms were spacious with a comfortable easy chair. Could not for the life of me figure out how to change channels on TV. Mattresses need to be replaced. Wonderful Mexican restaurant across the street.

It was a wonderful stay. Bed and pillows very comfy!!! Rooms were clean.

My flights were late into Omaha so I picked up my rental car and drove to Blair, NE arriving at like 1:30 am. As I drove into the parking lot the first things I saw were broken beer bottles in one area and a couple of guys sitting at a picnic table near the lobby with a case of beer drinking it. If it wasn't so late and I wasn't so tired I would have kept driving right there. I look around to locate the lobby which is partially torn apart and being remodeled. instead of keeping a clean and safe construction area they have materials piled all around the front entrance and lobby. I locate the night buzzer and get the front desk person to check me in (I had prearranged a late arrival). Then he directs me to my room down the hall or I can use an alternative exterior door (since none of them are security doors and require you to be a guest or have a key). At this point I just want to lock myself in my room and get some sleep. I make my way to my room, close the door, reach for the security latch to flip it closed and it's broken off! Of course it is. I wedged a chair against the door, used the moldy ceiling bathroom and went between the sheets with full sweats on. I chose this property because it had the higher Trip Advisor rating of the two hotels in town so it scares me to think of condition of the other newer hotel with a lower rating.

I think unsafe would be to harsh, but the evening my family arrived at the hotel there were a lot of people hanging around the end farthest from the lobby. Some of these people made us feel unconfortable the way they acted and dressed. The thing that could be improved most about this hotel is marking the driveway. We had trouble seeing where the driveway was after dark.

I admit I was a little concerned about some of the negative reviews, but honestly I didn't see anything unsafe or unclean. It's a basic motel but includes fridge and microwave, tub and shower. (We were hiking in the Loess Hills during the day so the tub felt good!) The beds were comfortable and had top sheets plus blanket/quilt; climate control worked well and wasn't noisy or smelly. The owners were pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was minimal and we ended up not using it at all. The only juice was orange juice and there were some individually packaged muffins and pastries. I saw a waffle for heating up. No yogurt. But with the equipment in the room, we easily took care of our own breakfasts. We were there 5 nights and had no problem with noise even right on the highway. We thought it was definitely a great value for the cost and would stay again if we are in the area.
