I visited on 7/9/20 for one night. This is an old(er), simple, no-frills motel. But it was clean…read moreand the price was decent. The receptionist was super nice and checkin was quick. The room had a little bit of a disinfectant or deodorize smell, but it was ok. The AC worked great. The shower was clean. I thought it was funny that they have a sign with towel prices due to the "popularity" of their towels...which are just basic white hotel towels. I think what they're trying to say is that 'this is how much we are going to charge you if you steal our towels'. I'm usually a Marriot/Hilton/Sheraton/Hyatt guy, but I was totally fine staying at the Raine, and I'm staying there again in a couple weeks. And this time I might even try the on-premises restaurant, because the popular local steak restaurant I went to last time didn't impress.

Do not repeat our mistake by making a reservation online for this dump. DO NOT STAY HERE! They…read morecharged us over $100 with taxes for this experience. Definitely the grossest motel room of our 4000 mile cross country trip - possibly the grossest we have ever experienced. Where to start? Air conditioner leaks water on the carpet and obviously has been for a loooong while. Carpet is disgusting and reeks. Room is dirty and everything is old and worn. The single bar of soap in the bathroom was not wrapped and clearly had been used. Towels were old and thin and one of the washcloths provided to us was so stained and worn that I think it was actually a cleaning rag. On a row of nonsmoking rooms and still had to put up with smoke secondary to the motel operator's decision to put smoking areas RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE AIR CONDITIONERS. There's a table and a single upholstered chair that is so smelly and stained it should be burned. Smallest television we have ever seen in a motel. Kicker, it's mounted so high on the wall and far from the bed it's unwatchable. This place is absolutely awful.

Well here I am again in Valentine for a funeral and I chose to stay at the Niobrara. I think this…read moreis my last stay at this hotel! No improvements since the last stay! My brother can along and we had rooms next to each other. Upon arriving my brother went to unlock his door and the door was already open with the safety lock left between the door jam. My husband and I went into our room and one of the beds looked like it had already been slept in!! On the top covers and the sheets under! So we both slept in the other bed and it was broken! Worst night of sleep ever! In hindsight I should have gone to the desk and asked for another room!! But we were tired! So I let the desk know the next morning, especially telling them the first bed needed attention and fixed asap! I was told "sorry" with a lack of concern!! This used to be one of THE NICEST hotels in this area! Sad to say it is no more!

There was black hair in the bathtub and in one of the beds, manager tried to blame it on my blonde dog that doesn't shed! And dirt was caked so hard in the corners on the floor by the bathtub. And I don't think the tops of the headboards have ever been dusted. And the Manager had the nerve to talk back to me! Said he'd call the owner and we never heard from him!

The back of the store specializes in vintage items and clothing as well as rare vinyl albums but front of store is all new clothing of great quality for babies to adults . The owner will even search for that special vinyl if they don't have it. Snacks, teas, coffees, drinks, jewelry, clothes, bags, shoes- all wonderful items you won't find anywhere else. Lots of "Valentine" "Nebraska" "Huskers" wear too! They do ship.
