Not putting my name on here for privacy reasons, but I stayed here for about a month in July while I was working. This is by far the BEST hotel I’ve ever stayed at. All staff: front desk, housekeepers, even the outside maintenance people were so friendly & helpful. Special thank you to the 3 housekeepers who were there everyday - girl with short dark hair, girl with long red hair, and the other guy that usually works with them- amazing people and were always willing to help. Room was huge for the price and bed was comfortable. Had a small fridge & microwave & TV. They give you daily free community passes to the nearby gym which has a weight lifting room, basketball court, pool, and hot tub. Hot breakfast is minimal but they always had some honey buns or muffins and coffee 24/7 so you definitely won’t go hungry. Key cards- keep them away from your phone & keys, and they will work perfectly fine. Shower had hot water. Walls are not paper thin at all, hotel is extremely quiet. Hotel staff will even wash, dry, AND fold your personal laundry for $10 which is even cheaper than the laundromat and just amazing that they even do that. Multiple secure entrances so you don’t have to walk through the whole building every time. They even have a desk computer at the front if you need to use it, front desk lady even offered to print something for me if I needed. A very family oriented hotel, but like in a good way. Felt like home. Ended up having to leave last minute due to my work contract ending and left room keys in room cause I had to be in another city immediately and found out last minute, but 10000/10 recommended staying here. A huge apology to the front desk lady that I had a slight attitude with one day bc I was exhausted from working & took it out on her:/ Never had a bad experience with any staff nevertheless. Thank you to the staff for making my stay so comfortable. Anyone passing through Wahoo or surrounding areas: this is definitely somewhere where you will be comfortable and well taken care of during your stay. Staff goes above & beyond.

Ended up here because I wasn't willing to pay $250+ for a 2-star hotel in Lincoln, NE. I was pleasantly surprised! The staff were all very friendly, breakfast offerings were better than I expected, and the property / my room were clean and well maintained. I got way more value for my money than I expected... this hotel is designated as a 2-star property, but it could very easily become a 3-star with a few minor tweaks around the edges.

My husband stays for a week during hunting season. The location is perfect as it is next to the grocery store and blocks from several restaurants. The room is very typical of a motel but the mattress was exceedingly soft. We actually flipped it hoping it was mostly just broken down. The room would definately benefit from a chair other than the straight wooden chair at the desk area. The room does have a small fridge. It was very quiet and the staff were very nice.

It's not fancy, but this is the 3rd time our construction crew is staying here and we got clean rooms every time. Only reason for 4 stars is I think it's a tad over priced compared to hotels in Lincoln we've stayed at before that have the same quality. However, I don't think it's a chain hotel like the others so that's probably why. Idk. Anyways, would recommend!

Was in town for a family event. Coffee at this place was continually fresh and absolutely first rate. Pride of ownership and value for money are obvious here.

In my whole life, this was one of my best experiences at a hotel. Very, Very, Very clean Hotel!! And the hall ways are so beautiful and elegant with tasteful soft lighting to accent the beauty. I stay in many hotels and this is one of my favorite. The staff was out standing also. And the beds were so great too, one bed was soft and bouncy and the other bed was a little firmer, and nice bedding!!! I plan to visit The Heritage Inn OFTEN!!!!!!!!

Very nice person checked us in. Rooms were comfortable. TV a bit on the small side but I was reading so it didn't matter.
