"clean room and hotel comfortable bed"

Western Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Rooms are dated but clean. The breakfast was simple but it was enough. We were just stopping for the night during our drive to Nebraska. Just needed a basic place reasonably priced."

Quality Inn Newton at I-80

10/10 Excellent

"Room was quiet. Air conditioner worked great. Breakfast was waffles, scrambled eggs with sausage links. There was also cereal, vanishes and toast."

Cobblestone Inn & Suites - Newton

8/10 Good

"Room and facilities were very nice. My complaint would be that 4 times I tried to book for next summer and was told 3 times they don't book that far ahead. The 4th time I was told they were full. How does that happen in a 2 day span. Not impressed with staff that just answers your question with " I don't have any idea""
