Cunningham's on the Lake We're visiting family friends who…read morelove this place, so we were excited to try it. Visually, it's a great spot--beautiful inside and out, an amazing patio, lots of TVs, and an impressive bar with 48 beers on tap plus beer flights. Unfortunately, during our visit, both the food and service fell short. We started with the pork belly bites. They were okay, but the texture wasn't what we're used to--we typically prefer them cooked a bit more. We also ordered the crab cakes, which came as three large pieces on a bed of lettuce (basically a big house salad). After a few bites, we realized they were ice cold. We let the bartender know and they were sent back, but they came out ice cold again. To their credit, they removed the item from our bill, which we appreciated. We then ordered a burger. The patty was very thick and had potential, but the fries were ice cold. Service slowed at this point--it took a long time to get ketchup or any follow-up. We noticed staff eating in a booth behind us while two employees behind the bar appeared busy, which was disappointing. The beer selection is excellent, but my Dirty Shirley tasted off. I switched to a Tito's and Sprite, but it still didn't taste right--likely flat soda that hadn't been changed. Overall, the patio and beer selection are highlights, but the execution on food and service missed the mark on this visit. Based on this experience, I'd give it 2 stars. Glad I didn't order the steak, as I think I would have been disappointed. -- Foodie99

We stayed at Holiday Inn Kearney primarily for the indoor water park. I'll be honest--I paid more…read morethan I wanted (over $250 per night + signed up for breakfast only to find out it's free), but we were set on a water park option. There's a more expensive one in town and a lower-tier option, so this felt like the middle ground. I've stayed here several times for work conferences and have always had a good experience overall, but this was my first time as a family with two young kids (8 and 2). The location is super convenient--right off the interstate and close to gas stations and other essentials. That said, there are a few drawbacks. The traffic noise can be pretty loud depending on your room location (our room faced the main road), and some rooms have windows facing interior hallways (ours didn't, thankfully, but I wouldn't love that setup). The layout of the hotel is also a bit of a maze--better signage would go a long way. The pool/water park is the main draw, but it's a mixed experience. They require wristbands and say they limit it to five per room, which can be frustrating for larger families (though it didn't seem strictly enforced). On the flip side, rules in general didn't seem enforced--there were older kids in the toddler area, which made it harder for little ones to safely enjoy it. My two-year-old also got pretty cold, even though the space is technically heated. My eight-year-old LOVED it and bounced between the two slides and the little kid area (he was helping his brother). There's an on-site restaurant, but it's pricey. A helpful tip: you can get a coupon at the front desk where kids 12 and under eat free with an adult entrée, plus 10% off adult meals. We ended up ordering from Margaritas nearby instead, which was a great choice. One pleasant surprise was the free breakfast buffet for hotel guests. I don't think this used to be included, and it wasn't clear when booking, but it was a solid spread--biscuits and gravy, eggs, sausage, fruit, yogurt, pastries, and more. Other perks: complimentary Wi-Fi, plenty of free parking, and a 24/7 market in the lobby. Our room itself was clean and comfortable, and having a microwave and fridge made traveling with kids much easier. Overall, it's a decent option for Kearney--especially if the water park is your priority--but there are definitely some trade-offs to be aware of.

There is a little water park with slides that I did not utilize but would be great if you had kids. I also appreciated that there was a little shop, a restaurant, and a gelato shop there. The continental breakfast was one of the best I've had at a hotel. The only thing I will say is that the hotel seems to have been expanded on so many times, making finding your room like finding your way out of a maze. I'd hate to try and find my way back after a few drinks!
