If you traveled during the holiday season this year, perhaps your home-away-from-home was a hotel. Compare your experiences to these
images of hotels from Nebraska Memories.
Hotels in Nebraska have ranged from imposing structures, like the
Blackstone Hotel in Omaha or the
Ruwe Hotel in Fremont, to smaller establishments, like
Wilcox House in Papillion or the
Talbot Hotel in Brainard.
Nebraska Memories features views of the interiors of hotels as well. Take a glimpse inside
some hotel lobbies, like those at the
Hotel Loyal in Omaha or the
Perkins Hotel in David City. Some hotels had places to eat inside, like the
Vineyard Cafe at the Rome Hotel in Omaha, or the
dining room at the Zeeck Hotel in Papillion.
If motels and motor courts are more your style, check out the
Lone Pine Court and Filling Station or
Sunnyside Cottages, both located in Sidney.
