Monument Inn & Suites

Monument Inn & Suites in Gering, Nebraska is a convenient place to stay if you’re visiting town for the Monument Marathon, especially since it sits right across the street from the race packet pickup and check-in area. The hotel is also about a 5-minute drive from Scotts Bluff National Monument, which makes it a practical base for exploring the area. Check-in was smooth even though the hotel was busy for race weekend, and the staff was helpful getting everyone settled. We stayed in a suite with a wet bar and couch, and I really appreciated the extra space after a long travel day. The property also has an outdoor grill area, which other guests were using to cook meals during their stay. I wish we had taken advantage of it because it looked like a nice option if you’re traveling for severa

The positives were we had a comfy bed, clean room and helpful friendly hardworking staff. Good heater/air con unit and fairly spacious room with small kitchenette and sofa area. ||Unfortunately this place just didn’t meet the standard for us and it felt a little over priced. The first thing I noticed when we arrived at reception and in our room was the unpleasant old bacon fat smell from the breakfast room/kitchen. It was worse in the morning when they were cooking. We went to breakfast at about 645 Am. There was a bacon smog, but no bacon appeared. The waffle batter came out separated, and there was supposed to be French toast but that didn’t appear either. We tried some coffee, that was not good. With the smog, smell and lack of food we gave up. ||The hotel provided one wafer thin soap

Overall, I was quite satisfied. The location, facilities, maintenance, and staff friendliness were all great. The only downsides were the breakfast, which was included but quite minimal, and the amenities, which were lacking. It would have been better if reusable containers had been used. That said, considering the room condition at this price, I believe it offers strong value for money.

This is our 4th time staying here. It's a nice hotel for the price. We like the breakfast here. The one thing we do not like here is the lack of pillows. There are only 2 pillows in the rooms. If you want more you have to ask. Well tonight the extra pillows were all gone. Really you can't supply enough pillows?! I don't understand why. Especially when they give you pillows that go flat in 2 minutes you need more then 1 pillow per person.

Stayed here one night on a roadtrip. Like so many places, seemed as though they may be short staffed or at least when we weee there, it seemed that way. The people we talked to were friendly and helpful, but when we needed to speak with the desk clerk, we had to track him down away from the front desk. The rooms are clean, comfortable and roomy. We had a suite type room with a seating area, kitchenette and queen bed. In the morning we went down for breakfast and found nearly everything was gone - there was one slice of French toast, no scrambled eggs, no meat, no cereal bowls…. Someone mentioned how empty everything was and about 5 minutes later the desk person came out with some French toast and another maybe ten minutes later someone brought some scrambled eggs. There was some bread (to
