Holiday Inn Express Ogallala, Ogallala

I travel to OGA regularly for biz and typically stay at this HIE. I have stayed at the Best Western (nice, but not as nice as the HIE) and the Ramada (at the time, now I am not sure if it is still a RI). Without a doubt, of all the big chain hotels in OGA, the HIE is the nicest place to stay in OGA. It is not the least expensive and it doesn't have a pool, so if you have kids be for warned, but if swimming isn't on the agenda, it is a nice place to stay. They do a great job with the standard HIE comp. breakfasts. Buffet is always fresh and full, at least all the times I have been there anyway.

Other hotels in the area, ones that are equal to or better, were some $30 cheaper than this hotel. The gal at the deak had this "take it or leave it" attitude. I told her the internet rate was $86. She said that was "not the hotel price". Quoted $109! Wow, Rip-Off! Went next door to the Best Western, received the internet price of $62! And this Best Western is an outstanding motel! Really outstanding, oh, and friendly also! Boo Holiday Inn Express! Oh, by the way, the sign outside the Holiday Inn Express said "you will be surprised at our great rates"! I sure was surprised, $109 for a $60 room, Rip-Off!

This hotel is beautiful, great rooms! The service was excellent. The guy looked sick, or tired, but still carried on a great conversation with us and the breakfast bar girls, they are fantastic!!!! I'd give this hotel at least 4 stars!

Holiday Inn Express has absolutely the best continental breakfast. Very delicious cinnemon rolls, good sausage and egg and cheese omlettes. Ample tables in the breakfast nook. The ladies tending the breakfast bar were very friendly and kept items well stocked. The western decor was very appropriate. The room was clean and the bed and linens comfortable. HI Exp. has done a great job in standardizing their room amenites. I booked the jaccuzzi suite. When the site says that the room can accomodate 4-5 people, you would think that the jaccuzzi would be in a 2nd room. There was no second room and it was right in the middle of the living area. It was only used by the kids. If we did not get the suite, the standard rooms were still expensive for a HI Express.

We didn't have any dislikes. They had a very good breakfast. Plenty of room to eat. The room was well taken care of and had all current amenities for a HI Express. One very nice feature of the ground floor rooms were a door direct to your car outside.
