Motel Raine, Valentine

I had a great stay at this motel. Everything was clean, functional, and comfortable. I met both the current and previous owners, and both were very friendly. I will definitely stay here again if I'm going through the area. Thanks.

managment truly interested on the motel & how our stay was. large clean rooms. nice little lounge.

Usually all we look for in a hotel/motel is cleanliness, a good bed, continental breakfast at an economical price. Motel Raine is all of this with a very important difference. Howard and the crew at Motel Raine are HOSTS!!!!!!!! Bob and Carol

Motel Raine is the greatest place in Valentine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The rooms were clean, the food was good and the service was OUTSTANDING!!! Howard and Sarah were the best hosts, they made us feel like family the minute we walked in the door. We will never stay anywhere else when in Valentine. Thanks Howard and Sarah, we love you.....See ya real soon:):):) The Lincoln Ne, gang who partied all night...

We are all originally from Valentine, Nebraska (within the last 40-60 years) and Valentine is where we go to have family reunions every two years or so. This time we got hold of Howard early and reserved several rooms ahead of time so that all of the families could stay at the same place. What a wonderful idea. Howard treated us like family. The youngsters (21-30) thought he was great as he came over and visited in the evening after they got back from the City Park where the reunion was held. We all truly appreciated the care that was given by Howard and his staff to my mother who was the oldest one at the reunion (92). When it was mentioned to him on the first day that we were there what a difficult time she had standing up from the low old fashioned toilet a new one of the high newer ones was installed the next day. Even though there is only 2 inches difference it sure makes it a lot easier to stand up when you start getting old. This was a great place to sit and watch the evening weather after getting back to the room after visiting all day. There were about 10 rooms full of families from around the country and we all thought the world of Howard. Then guess what on the last day there we found out that he had gone to college with a cousin who still lived there so had not needed to get a room. All I can say is Thanks Howard for a great time and for CARING about US.

It's in the middle of nowhere and sure it's nice but unless you absolutely have to I won't recommend it strongly.

We are 2 sisters from Sweden who we´re drivning from Wounded knee in the evening. It was dark and a lot of snow, but suddenly we saw a motel! we are really happy that it was Raine, because it was so nice and comfortable and the people who run the place took really good care of us! We are very satisfied and we can recomend this place to anyone! They have food, a bar, pooltable, very nice room´s and a lovely atmosphere! Thank you Raine!

I have migrated between Missouri and the Alaska Gulf Coast since 1978: and now, i have found a destination that has all my requirements: good country and good water and animals and birds and a sky forty to fifty miles wide and rivers and lakes and prairie. Of course this combination creates a special breed of local people who never leave or have returned in not so long a time. Then there are the lucky travelers/wanderers like myself who have found the ultimate destination where working ranchers and truck drivers and main street merchants and others work a day folks reside..... and travelers and tourists rest and relax in a beautiful, friendly unspoiled environnment. Many of these locals and travelers swirl around and stay at the Motel Raine where Howard and the bartender and the cook and many others work around the clock to create a magic atmosphere. Like Missouri used to be and Alaska still is people around Valentine, Nebraska still neighbor. My chevy is hitched up in front of my room and the coffee pot is on, Robert Franklin And believe me the stories never end.

We stayed for 3 months!!!!!!!!!!!!Love the rooms the staff was like family to us. I am a travel nurse and the facility I was working at did not supply private housing, I found the Raine through Yahoo travel and they could accomodate my request for 13 weeks. We got there and it was like coming home!! They have good food in the resturant/lounge. Breakfast supplied daily, which was great and the coffee is fresh ground columbian....to die for. Thanks Howard we loved staying with you! We will be back with the grandbabies next year for vacation!!!!!! You have been warned LOL Tim and Missy

The Raine Motel had everything I look for in a motel. The room was clean, the staff was friendly. The bed was comfortable. It was 14 degrees below zero outside and the room stayed toasty. The free wireless Internet access was fast with 100% signal strength. The room includes a work table with outlets and lighting, HD Cable TV, a refrigerator, microwave, and cup-at-a-time coffee maker. The bathroom is big enough to be a second bedroom (well, almost). I will stay there again. All this for about $45 a night. Amazing!
