I like to stay at family owned establishments. Preferably older motels where a certain sense of…read moreold fashioned comfort can be found and the owner, their spouse and kids are involved in the motel's day-to-day activities. I also like to know that the money I spend stays locally. I found just that place in the Grand Motel in Hastings, Nebraska. I chose the Grand over the other local places because of the overwhelmingly positive reviews posted on the Internet. I was not disappointed. Despite arriving rather late at night, the owner greeted me with a smile and a hearty "welcome to Hastings". Parking was plentiful and backing a 20 foot truck and car trailer was easy. The 60-year-old motel is charming and boasts a nuts and bolts attitude that provides the essentials for a weary traveler. The room was clean and agreeable. The microwave was clean and the fridge was a standard sized unit found in almost all hotels and motels. Free wi-fi was a treat. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was clean and provided the essentials (towels, soap, shampoo, and conditioner). Free breakfast is available upon request as are other amenities such as an iron and ironing board. The area is safe, quiet, close to restaurants and other services. I slept well and woke up refreshed, ready for the long day ahead of me. Thank you Mike, I look forward to staying at the Grand again!

Lots of attention to detail in the renovation, and all hints of the old 60s or 70s style former hotel are gone. There's still a little bit of construction going on so pardon their dust... But if I'm staying in the Grand Island/Hastings Nebraska area again, this will be my top choice!

The rooms were very clean and the owners were very nice. It was worth saving about $70 a night compared to staying in Hastings Ne. I will stay there again when I travel through. No Internet but when you arrive late at night it doesn't matter. The other hotel guests were very friendly too.

I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone visiting this part of Nebraska.
