If you're traveling the I-80 and get a road closure alert outside Grand Island, NE & you're not too…read moreimpressed with the reviews on the more affordable motels in Grand Island, there is another option. Just one town over you'll find Ken's Motel, in the quaint little town of Aurora. It's a perfectly acceptable budget motel. Dated it may be, but in this girls opinion "dated" is not a bad word. I like blast-from-the-past places like these & I wish they'd preserve more of them as well as they have this one. Friendly staff, clean & comfortable. There's even a full sized fridge. Close to Mc Donald's, Pizza & gas. We also saw a sign for Arby's on the other side of the interstate. Parking may be tricky if you're hauling a trailer in the snow, as we are, but it's doable. We just had to circle the property and come through one of the back entrances. Otherwise, you'll be able to park right in front of your room. It seems to me Aurora would be a nice stop for the family in the summer months, as well. In different circumstances, we would've loved to tour one of their Museums. The Science center looks like a good time for families & the Plainsman Museum is right up my alley w/a "journey through yesterday". We also noticed a community pool w/water slides driving into town. Snowbound or summer fun...Kens motel will do the trick if you're looking for an affordable option while you check out all that Aurora has to offer.

I'm the morning, breakfast was delicious (with healthy options), the fitness room and pool were clean and kept up nicely, and when I had my hands full upon returning to my room, one of the staff even helped hold things so I could open my door. Bathrooms and shower were very nice, and the hotel is right next to a great Starbucks. We will definitely return on our next road trip!

Smooth check in, gorgeous, clean room, quiet, excellent bathroom & shower, very comfortable bed. Only two complaints (that aren't really complaints, just suggestions) are that the BW website is really hard to work with on mobile (Iphone) so I downloaded the app, which I hope will be an improvement. The only other thing is that many BWs have EV chargers and we really would find that helpful. We don't even mind paying a reasonable fee for the electricity. It is just a huge help to charge at our overnight stays.

Upon getting to our room, I immediately noticed a strange wet stain on one side of the headboard. Obviously this made me uneasy. The bed was too firm and full of coils that I could feel.

I could have had just the salad bar with it's spinach and raspberries, cheeses and veggies, but I didn't want to miss out on the prepared to order fine dining.

Situated on the main street of Ravenna, the Inn is just a minute away from the few local bars and restaurants. Again, nothing fancy, but good food and great drinks. Inn owner Jerry is the nicest person you'll ever meet. He drove me around town in his car, showing the town's sites and introducing me to various local people and businesses.
