Jason at the front desk has a lot to learn about hospitality and customer service. Pretty rude and unhelpful from the get go. The room was fine except for two things: the fridge ran for long periods of time, really loudly. The toilet ran also. I unplugged the fridge and shut the bathroom door; I didn't bother alerting the to these issues given my initial experience at checkin. The TV also seemed to have spotty service--wavy lines through the middle of the screen. It's nice that they have a pool but it was so heavily chlorinated that my skin started itching and tingling about five minutes in. Given the plethora of other hotels in that area, I wouldn't bother with this one, especially at that price point. read more

This was my 4th stay at Candlewood Suites Kearney, and it continues to impress! The rooms are always clean, spacious, and well-equipped, especially with the kitchenette, which makes it feel more like a home away from home. The staff is always friendly, and check-in is smooth and hassle-free. One of the best perks is the location--just a short walk to either of the Younes Conference Centers, which is perfect for business trips or events. Plus, there are plenty of dining options nearby, so you're never short on places to eat. Every stay has been a good one, and I'll keep coming back whenever I'm in Kearney! Great value and reliability every time. read more

We sold our home, so when go back to visit, this is the place. We liked the suite with separate living-room & bedroom and make a few of our meals in the kitchen. We don't have pets & they gave us a room that was very clean. read more

Newer motel and very clean. Beds were comfortable but did not have a breakfast which was the only downside to our stay. I would have given it 5 stars if it have had a ny breakfast at all read more

This is one of 4 hotels I stayed at this week (1 bdrm suites)---others averaged $220 w pet. Candlewood was over $320 ($84 for the dog, and No Breakfast) 8-10 non-guests were lounging in the lobby, watching the football game--drinking, talking loud, and smoking a lot (outside at the front door) My other 3 hotels in Iowa and Nebraska served a hot breakfast. Candlewood charged 50% more and had no hot breakfast. I will never stay at a Candlewood hotel again. read more

One of nicest hotel i have stayed in. All around 5 stars. From the staff to the rooms we couldn't of asked for a better place to stay. We checked in on a friday afternoon, 4 or 5 families from our group all stayed here for a weekend family reunion and having the kitchen in the rooms was an absolute blessing. We were able to prep and store all food for the reunion. Full size refrigerator and microwave. Dishes to do do all. The rooms were very clean and large. Beds comfortable. Staff was attentive and actually took pride in the place; upon check in both hosts talked about how the owner was very hands on about the property. Rates for rooms were in line with any other hotel in area. read more

See all

Very nice rooms with kitchenette and a recliner. But, no breakfast is available. This is a problem. Most of my business associates are not coming back because of no breakfast available. read more

When we pulled off the interstate, I didn't have any idea we would find such a wonderful place to spend the night. Quiet and comfortable, clean and modern, this place rocks. Add the fact that it was cheaper than the surrounding chain hotels, with awesome customer service. Five Stars indeed ! read more

Lovely stay! Quiet and comfortable. No breakfast but includes a full kitchen. Several good places nearby and they provide some grab and go options. Highly recommended read more

The Candlewood Kearney is wonderful! I travel with IHG hotels rather frequently and have stayed in close to 20 Candlewood locations in my lifetime and Kearney is one of the best. This location looks to be brand new or recently remodeled, as the lobby is clean, modern, and well-decorated. They offer many amenities, such as a pool, cupboard to purchase snacks and toiletries at any hour, as well as a lending locker for books, etc. The area is right off of the highway and surrounded by other hotels, as well as a strip of restaurants, so it is a perfect stop if you're passing through on I-80. They are also pet-friendly (for a fee), which was a huge plus, as I was moving cross-country with my pup. There are grassy areas in the parking lot to allow for pet relief. The rooms were fresh, clean, and comfortable. They were also very spacious. read more

Initially I was hesitant to book here because we had not heard of the Candlewood; but we needed a pet friendly place to stay. From check in to check out it was clean and inviting. Staff was helpful. The lobby was large enough to handle 2 groups meeting after events. The lobby was modern with lending lockers with everything from pliers to crock pot to board games. I was surprised by the kitchenette in our room, with pots plans and real plates, full sized refrigerator - which we needed. The bed was comfortable, t.v. large. Will will stay again, the next time doing a road trip. read more

Great place to stay ! Very clean and roomy. Friendly and helpful staff. They were approachable and kind. Rooms were more than adequate size and very clean. The free washer and dryer was a plus for a long trip or extended stay ! The courtesy room attached to the lobby was unique and very useful. It offered variety of snacks, drinks, ice and items for washing clothes or toiletries. The pool was larger than expected. It was clean and easily accessible. The workout room was very large and offered variety of workout equipment. We will most definitely stay with Candlewood in the future ! read more

I highly recommend this hotel for Kearney overnights and long term stays. Very nice and new. Better and cheaper than surrounding hotels. Great kitchen with full size fridge (21 cu. ft.) and ice maker, dishwasher, microwave, equipped with general necessities. Modern bathrooms. Quiet rooms. Nice TV at 49". Comfortable bed. Free use of laundry appliances. Very clean inside and out. Cleaning staff do a great job and keep your things private and untouched. Restaurants within walking distance with good variety of food and fantastic beer selections. I came to Kearney to visit the first time and stayed at the Hampton which was good however I wish I would have stayed here. Overall great staff and attentive & caring manager. read more

We came in last night in desperate need of a hotel room after driving twelve hours cross country. This hotel was the only place in town that still had rooms. We walked through the doors at about 11pm and was greeted by a wonderful man at the front desk who quickly worked on accommodating our needs. He went far beyond his job to make sure that we would have a safe and comfortable place to rest our head. Due to the events happening in town, almost all hotels were double booked/overbooked, but thankfully this Man was our saving grace and gave us the last room available. The rooms are very comfortable and spacious with a wonderfully clean bathroom with a great shower! Beds were plush and the pillows were generous. Thankfully they had a full sized fridge that let us store our road trip snack (most importantly our cheese curds from the Mars Cheese Castle in Wisconsin!) the best part was that the freezer made fresh ice which we were able to enjoy in the morning to fill up our travel bottles. Highly recommend! read more

Very nice and helpful staff when we somehow messed up our dates. They worked to contact Expedia and help fix the mess up. Very friendly housekeeping staff. The room was super clean. Having a kitchenette with a stove, fridge, microwave and dishwasher was a plus. Great overall stay. Close to restaurants and easily accessible. read more

First time staying here and honestly only did because the Hampton was booked. New hotel. Super clean. Softest towels I've ever used. Slept well in great beds. Staff is friendly and explained amenities well at check in. I used the convenient pantry in the hotel and found it to be a nice feature. Easy to get in and out. Plenty of parking. I think I've found a new hotel of choice when I travel to kearney. read more

Super cute and modern. The employees are super nice. They let us check in early and our rooms were clean and beautiful. Love the suites. Kitchenette was very nice and homey. Loved the service! read more

We had a great nights stay here and have flagged it for our future nights in Kearney. The room was spacious and offered amenities that aren't common for this price point. Microwave. Full size fridge with freezer and ice maker in room. Bathroom was nice and modern. Bed was very comfortable and the TV was perfect for our needs. Lobby was nice. Staff was friendly. Walking distance to many options for food. Pool area looked nice but no hot tub so we left the suits packed. I wish the rates were $10-$20 less but I'm sure we all wish that. After checking in and spending the night, I feel this is priced very fairly and below others that we had called. read more

Absolutely the worst experience we've had a motel. We didn't check in until 9:30 pm had us our 2 grandkids and their adult parents the kids were laughing playing on the floor at around 11 pm and not once but twice we got a knock on our door that there was noise complaints about our room. I got angry the second time as we literally made no noise so I told attendant if we had to leave he was returning my money. He then came back 10 minutes later with two cops as I was rude. The cops had attitude and the employee said I went into lower level people's room and you could hear footsteps well shit sorry we used the bathroom. We will never return here nor will I recommend this establishment to anyone. It's a motel when is a motel ever quiet, let alone the lobby was full of drinks yelling and cussing when we checked in. I haven't went to sleep because I'm so disgusted by the way we were treated for letting our littles be happy. read more
