We spent a night at Green Acres Motel while visiting Red Cloud. If you’re looking for 1,000 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets and a private jacuzzi, keep going. If all you need is a safe, reasonably clean, inexpensive, no frills place to stay the night just outside Red Cloud and don’t mind a room that has needed renovation for decades, this will do fine. The front desk folks were very friendly and quick to fix an issue with our room. Some of the furniture, fixtures, and bedding are old, but the sheets and pillowcases were clean and the bed comfortable. No smoke smell in our room. There is a fridge, microwave, and small flat screen TV with Roku. Everything worked fine. The free wifi had good signal, and there is a small well-lit work desk. Bathroom setup is good, with sink/mirror and large counter separate from toilet and shower. Lighting decent with ventilation fan, shower was hot with good water pressure and nice shower head. Some road noise from big trucks but generally quiet. Dollar store close by, short hop to the charming town center. We had a good night and morning. We had our pre-packed breakfast in our room to the sound of horses across the street. I found it comfortable and would stay again.

Green Acres is the place we stay when visiting extended family in Red Cloud. There's a fridge for your drinks and food, a microwave for those yummy diner leftovers or some popcorn, a good-sized monitor tv and the beds are firm and comfortable. Close enough for a stroll down the main road, if you feel up to it. Stan and his family are a welcome delight for anything else one may need, information about this wonderful town, and great conversation over a cup of coffee that is provided in the office's lobby. Look forward to our next stay here.

I’ve read some comments related to the fact that this is an older accommodation that could use some updates. But, for us, as long as our lodging is clean, safe, adequately comfortable ( is any bed more comfy than your own?), and reasonably priced, we’re more than satisfied. This little gem met all those criteria with the added benefit of a helpful, friendly owner. Don’t pass this one up because it doesn’t have an ‘updated’ appearance!

Went to Red Cloud, NE for a much needed vacation. Got to see all the sights, and had a blast walking through the town. The geographical center of the lower 48 states is nearby, and plenty of prairie as far as the eye can see. The motel is just down the way from the main strip, and is reminiscent of the 60's. I haven't stayed in a motel like this since I was a kid, and it was awesome. The staff was more than friendly, and was able to meet any need. The beds were so comfortable, and the rooms were very peaceful. I recommend this motel to anyone in need of a simple and relaxing get away.

Located on the north edge of town, and within easy walking distance to downtown, Green Acres has always been our "go-to" motel whenever we have a family get-together in Red Cloud.
The owners are very nice and always helpful in accommodating our occasional special requests. The price is right and the service is the best!

Let me start with this motel hasn't seen an 'up grade' since 1960. When did you last watch TV on a Magnavox 19"table top TV? Most motels have gone to the curved shower rods for curtains but for Green Acres to do so would require buying new(er?) shower curtains. Although the rooms are clean the fixtures were installed in about 1960 and haven't changed since. The mattresses were probably changed in 1990 and I can't comment on pet friendly since I did not have a pet but the sign on the door said NO Dogs Allowed. The ice machine does not work. Yes, it is the only game in town and if you need a place to stay roll the dice and maybe you won't get snake eyes.

First I must say the owners and their family are incredible people. Beyond nice and accommodating (even when my Aunt tried to burn down the hotel on a visit a few years ago). The motel is the only option (besides a bed and breakfast) in Red Cloud and surrounding area. It's inexpensive and clean for the most part (a few dusty areas). The furniture and furnishings are very dated, but they are all functional. The Wifi was free and worked well even out to the last room. The heater worked well and our only real complaint was that the toilet pipes made a loud whining noise after flushing.

I've stayed here several times while visiting family in south central Nebraska. The staff is always friendly, helpful and responsive; the rooms are always clean and reasonably priced; and overall its a peaceful place to be. It is a local family-owned business, and every time I return I notice nice upgrades and changes, though it does maintain nice 1960's motor lodge charm. Its on the north side of town but attractions and activities are close by, and the staff can point you in the right direction if you're looking for things to do. I travel a fair amount for business and usually stay in bigger chain hotels, but I always look forward to staying here; its nice to find a family owned motel that the owners clearly take pride in and operate with excellence.

I wouldn't go so far to call Green Acres an exceptional hotel but it is the ONLY hotel in Red Cloud. We were drawn to the town by Willa Cather and the hotel had a charming vintage look based on this website's photo. It turns out that the photo IS a vintage photo probably taken in the sixties. The staff was friendly but the place is a bit run-down but the price was right. Ate a pizza from the Casey's gas stop and enjoyed the Willa Cather Center downtown.
