I recently returned from a business trip in Kearney & I stayed at the Hampton for 2 days. I had a great stay there! The staff is very friendly, the room was clean, bed comfy & very quiet. I really liked the fact that the hotel always had fresh fruit available, coffee, tea and they now have a hospitality time in the evenings; beer, wine, cheese, crackers, snacks etc. It was just like home when I went back to my hotel. The breakfast was good also. This hotel was just very comfortable & I would go back there again. Last time I stayed at the Holiday Inn, they offer nothing free there & the night manager was rude.

If you have stayed in a Hampton Inn over the last 5-10 years... you will generally know what this place is like. Hampton needs to freshen up their concept.

The Kearney Hampton Inn has signs plastered everywhere. The company that manufactures signs for Hampton Inn is doing very well. They put a sign on everything. This hotel feels like a brightly lit hospital with signs pointing to different wards and sectors. It has a sterile nursing home feel to it. Check Inn was friendly. The employee checking me in made friendly convo... I mentioned that I was in town for a meeting. Then she pushed the issue and asked who I met with. Hmmm not really her business... but I told her anyway.. I thought she was probing unnecessarily... not sure if it was for marketing purposes, or if she was just nosy.

In my room, I could not plug in my cell phone or the iron without unplugging something else. The ironing board was one of those table-top versions. Internet was free and the signal strong. Nice TV and comfy bed. The rest of the room was boring. I am getting tired of the Ouija board they have on the bed with the remote on it.....

They did not open the workout room until 6 am. I think that is ridiculous. Some people need to work out earlier than that. Why not 24 hours? Of course the door had a big sign on it explaining the hours.

Breakfast.... Eggs were clearly made from a pre blended mixture. They had this huge gravy ladle to scoop gravy out of a flat pan. You had to hold it sideways and drag it. Those ridiculous little salsa packets are still around. The coffee did not seem to be of a high quality or freshness level. I wonder if they changed suppliers. The Hampton free breakfast used to feel like a great deal... now it feels very standard, and like they have decreased the quality if their edibles.

The rate is not special compared to the other hotels in the area. It was just as expensive as the others and the other hotels appeared to be much newer, fresher, with more warmth.

I just returned from a business trip in Kearney, NE. My hotel reservations were made for me by my co-worker. When I saw we were staying at the Hampton Inn, my thoughts were…this is not going to be good. But I was surprisingly proven wrong. Right off the bat, the check in staff were very friendly and fast. The room was nice and clean…and there was a microwave and fridge in the there! The cleaning staff was very good and fast. I came back to my room a couple of times before noon, and my room was already cleaned.

Also in the evenings, Monday – Thursday there are snacks in the lobby and a very friendly member of the staff that asked you if you would like a glass of wine, ^5 on that. Breakfast starts at 6 – 10 am and needless to say the breakfast options are very good. Better than most hotels. Oh! And warm cookies are made in the evenings…yummy!

So needless to say, if I make a return trip to Kearney, NE, I will be more than happy to stay at the Hampton Inn.

A great night's stay. I connected to the free, wireless, high-speed internet with no problem. I had breakfast at 9am and the items were fresh and plentiful. Friendly staff--both at the front desk and the housekeeping team. My room, the lobby, the halls were all clean. Very good location--close to gas stations, restaurants, and it's about 3 miles from the University of Nebraska at Kearney. I would definitely stay there again!
