It seems to be the only hotel in town. Fortunately it is clean, roomy and all on one level. The room had a full fridge but no microwave. There is no breakfast or coffee served in the morning. It does have wifi. The rate without a breakfast is a little high. Your choice is ; a, stay here, or ;... More

I wish for more hotels like Ken's. For a basic night's stay, one might hanker for an exercise room, or a hot breakfast in the morning. But not reasonable at these rates. Otherwise there is nothing to fault with this hotel. Everything is very clean. Beds are comfortable. Good showerhead. Excellent HD TV reception. Nice helpful service. And at a... More

A work related trip to Grand Island. Not wanting to get up before 4 a.m. I decided to find a place close to Grand Island as the hotel I usually stay at was booked. I was shocked when I called to make my reservation and was given the rate. My room was clean and comfortable. The a/c worked great as... More

We stayed at Ken's in Aurora to be able to visit our daughter. Room was clean and spacious. Loved that we had a full size refrigerator in room. Internet was slow but we were not needing it so it didn't matter. Great value for a family weekend!

Expect just the basics but a clean, neat and quiet place to stay. Just as good or better than the basic Super 8's we have stayed at.

I have no idea what Ken's Motel the Conroys stayed at - but it certainly was a much different experience for me! I have traveled for business my entire adult life and have stayed in hundreds of hotels across the midwest. All I can say is - I wish there was a Ken's Budget Host in every town I travel... More

Upon calling to reserve a room we were told that we could use our corporate rate, however upon check in the desk clerk was very rude and informed us there was only one rate and if we did not like it we could stay somewhere else. We were given a key to a room that did not work, after attempting... More

Clean, good-sized room, with full-size refrigerator, no-smoking room (big plus), across the street from a nice town park. I hope we find more like this on our trip.

What a fantastic motel this is. It is a family run motel where they have the utmost pride in maintaining spotless rooms. The room was extremely clean and comfortable, internet available in lobby. The room itself was definitely above average and remodelled to a very good quality. Only thing to mention was that I found the motel a bit hard... More
