We stayed at the Olde Main Street Inn over Labor Day weekend, and wished we could have stayed longer. We were on a road trip from Chicago to Nebraska/South Dakota, and the Olde Main Street Inn was absolutely the perfect place to stay on a trip like that. At the turn of the 20th century, the hotel was the type of fancy inn that used to populate these old railroad towns, but have now fallen into disuse or disrepair. Luckily for humanity and road-tripping adventurers everywhere, the owner and her family have restored this one to just the right condition. The hotel retains its original class and charm without being too done-up in its restoration. There's remnants of original 1890s wallpaper, a beautiful bar, and the rooms have a ton of character. Just looking at all the old photos and the early-20th-century newsclippings all over the walls will teach you everything you need to know about the history of the American west. The owner/bartender is fantastic and very friendly, and there are lots of interesting regulars in the hotel bar. We stayed in the Mari Sandoz suite -- what a deal -- tons of room, including a real kitchen. If you like a hotel with character, I can't imagine that there is a better place to stay in northwest Nebraska, if not the whole state.
