turn right onto business avenue then
turn left okay
here we are right next to a
ford lincoln dealership the destination
is on your right
holiday express and suites beatrice
it looks pretty new or at least the
building is still very pristine
yeah i must have done like a renovation
up front or a new painting or something
okay we are here all right we made it to
our hotel in beatrice nebraska
yep another day another hotel i just
want to say when we checked in
the guy that checked us in his voice is
so pleasant yeah
chandler chandler yeah awesome by the
way
he's great too probably the best service
like
customer service as far as like the
experience and his whole aura
is like very pleasant very helpful
information
he gave us restaurant recommendations in
the area
which we really needed because we didn't
really research that prior to coming
here um
plus there was some new he said there
was like a new restaurant that opened so
we might
uh check that out yeah we'll see um
yeah so the check-in was great
the first impressions were awesome um
the room is a little bit dated
but it looks like some of the furniture
might have been updated a little bit
yeah like this we had this accent chair
and all that but we'll give you a little
room tour
and show you what we're talking about
yeah all right so we have
two looks like queen beds are they the
same size
they are i think so yeah it's like from
this angle i can't really tell
yes so two queen beds and this headboard
looks
new to me um it's very pristine
and i love all the reading lights that
are on the headboards that's great that
yeah
that's weird each side not weird but
that's awesome that each side
has a reading limit here's it there's
one so they're anticipating hey if
someone is actually sharing it'd be
great if each person had their own
so nice little detail nice touch there
an
accent chair um kuma's favor she's right
next to it right now you don't want to
get on babe
not today it's when i mention it she
won't get on it and then if i forget to
mention
it she then she wants to get on it so i
think the next hotel if there's an
accident chair i'm not going to mention
it and she's probably going to want to
get on it
a little office desk they actually have
a um oregano it's like ergonomic chair
so it looks like a nice comfy chair if
you actually had to do some work
and the lamp has um two outlets on there
just nice
so you can you know plug in your laptop
you don't have to go under the desk
and the base feel that's pretty comfy i
think i might like this firmness it's
not too soft
pillows i'm not sure clothes are always
trickier with paint
oh they feel soft okay i like the soft
pillows
all right and then there is no usb
outlets though so just um
regular outlets which i have to say i
have to make one comment here
the usb outlets that i did have on my
side and the last two hotels didn't work
anymore they didn't work anyways yeah
so hopefully these well obviously this
one works because that's on
so plenty of drawers here as well
there you go i like how they um actually
left space under here
so you can put your luggage under there
um so that's kind of cool
if you needed some space down there
tv ice bucket they even have a little
keurig station
but um what's his name chandler
chandler said they have 24-hour coffee
and tea
throughout the day so i feel like we
don't even have to make our own probably
not yeah fresh fruit
throughout the day i feel like chandler
would always make it fresh yeah
because when we he was like and i just
threw the one on the left even even
mentioned which one was fresh so
love that chandler there is a microwave
i wasn't expecting a microwave
and a small fridge so that's nice okay
so
um that's pretty much it for the bedroom
it's very
clean and simple they don't have a lot
of clutter around
um i also want to know when we walked in
it does say to wear a face mask
there's plenty of hand sanitizing
stations we have signs everywhere
you know that they have to wear it
keeping things clean there's plexiglass
in front of the whole
counter when we checked in so they're on
top of the whole
um pandemic and you know trying to stay
keeping the distance and all that this
is the second isg hotel these days data
and uh
this they had the same card rest assured
the ihg
clean promise we are committed to high
levels of cleanliness that means clean
well-maintained clutter-free rooms
that meet our standards and then they
have a clean team sign the name so this
happened in our last hotel in denver too
so
that's nice to know you know that in
preparation
for your arrival everything in the room
has been deep cleaned following our ihg
way of cleaning process
with hospital grade disinfectants so
they are on top of it like candy said
uh so yeah moving on to the bathroom
area the shower and toilet
is separated from the sink area and the
sink area is kind of in the hallway by
the door
and inside kind of like by the room they
have several hand towels
and some lotion by j.r watkins
i'm not sure who j.r watkins is but we
like the bottle there's a full-length
mirror here
and then um another big mirror over the
sink
so double mirrors right by the door
is a closet section with an iron ironing
board
i did that the opposite way a hair dryer
and the luggage rack which we're kind of
using for kuma stuff right now
the shower and tub so that's nice you
have an option to take a bath if you
want to
or if you need to bathe your dog you can
do that easily
and they i really like this um
uh brand that they have jared walker's
had to look it up later but i like their
branding
and instead of you know giving the
individual
shampoo conditioner shower gel you can
just pump it out here
and um you know save waste so i kind of
like that
more lately than like the individual
child it's nice to have a travel size
sometimes because i can take it with me
but i don't need it all the time
especially if you're staying from hotel
hotel on a road trip
so this is actually really nice that
they do that so yeah i think overall you
know like i said first impression
was really great here we're looking
forward to our stay and
um i think we're gonna actually go get
some quarters downstairs next we have a
laundry room
we've been on the road for almost a week
now so uh we there's just some clothes
we want to wash so i think we're going
to go use the washing machine
and dryer yeah it looked like it was two
dollars for the washer
and i couldn't figure out how much it is
signed for the dryer so like that's 25
cents but then there was like all these
slots so yeah
it's like a dollar yeah or dollar 25
something like that 15.
it's pretty normal because the other
hotels we stayed at we noticed it was
around that same price
so um and then there was a guy doing
laundry in there we asked him if they
gave
quarters for change at the lobby at the
desk and he was like oh yeah they have
some quarters so
you can ask recorders there and they
also have a fitness center
they say the maximum amount and there
was one person so it's probably not that
big
yeah and pool area and there's a pool
area too
um which you probably won't do because
we got some relatives to see here
and a national monument to check out
yeah
[Music]
huh
[Music]
do
[Music]
just checked out of holiday inn express
in beatrice nebraska
and we actually thoroughly enjoyed our
stay there
probably because i really loved uh the
guy working behind the desk his name is
chandler he was
awesome chandler is excellent probably
like the best
hotel employee i've met on all of our
travels
he's just so nice he's um very generous
and genuine he just goes above and
beyond
with his customer service and he's just
so great
he really deserves like a promotion or a
raise um
but yeah the hotel itself was great um
for a holiday i haven't stayed on a
holiday inn in so long and
sometimes i think it gets a bad rep but
it depends on which hotel and where
what area you're in if you're in
beatrice you'll get top-notch service
there
they're excellent the room was really
great the only thing
that i didn't like about that room was
there's like this weird smell
in there it is kind of a weird smell
it's a tad outdated but not too bad
it's still clean and everything works
just fine like nothing's clogging or
nothing's you know
not draining properly everything works
fine um i like that there was a
microwave in a refrigerator
those things are always nice but yeah i
mean other than it
i really don't have any complaints other
than the kind of odd smell
yeah and that's about it for me um
because
oh yeah but breakfast was okay oh yeah
but so it's complimentary breakfast
so it's kind of like that with
complimentary things and we're very
picky with our breakfast food as it is
so but we saw families eating breakfast
and they seemed to enjoy it
i had a muffin this uh banana muffin
this morning it was much better than
the breakfast i had yesterday yeah
because they had let's see they had
like sausages and then they had a cheese
omelet and so we got a cheese omelette
but it looked really dry to us so we
didn't even eat it
so i guess we don't even know how it
tastes like maybe it was really good but
the appearance didn't entice us to eat
it it's very quiet there
candy got great sleep both nights yeah
she really liked the
um the bed and the pillows because the
pillows okay this is what's great about
the pillows there
the covers it'll tell you if the pillow
is firm or soft
so i'm just like oh that is so cool i
don't think i've ever been to a place
where they like distinguish the pillows
or firmness off so that was
i really like that that was a nice touch
overall
this was a great hotel stay and i really
love
one thing i really love about nebraska
is the people everyone's so
friendly they are so friendly so nice
very genuine
very helpful i don't know how many times
someone has asked us do you guys need
help carrying your backs
yeah like not even like hotel people i
even have people at the 14
yeah just like oh i was like no
we're fine
like how nice of them to even offer
something like that you know
nobody ever does that i mean
they probably do but it's so rare yeah
especially like when we're at a ford
dealership that's not where you expect
something like
like some random you know customer
they're just offering to help
i love it i love the people here great
experience and i highly recommend it if
you're
