Oak Tree Inn

Clean, big rooms that are quiet and dark. Breakfast at Penny’s Diner beats the free breakfast at other hotels by far. This is a solid off the interstate option.

I just suffered through one of worst customer service experiences of my life. I had been driving all night to get to this motel so I could rest before continuing my journey tomorrow. I had booked a room through
, so I thought I was all set. When I showed up at 11:30 pm tonight the kid behind the desk told me that there were in fact no rooms available and that
should not have sold me the room. I am not upset with the hotel because
oversold them since this (probably) not their fault.
What I AM VERY UPSET about is how the kid behind the check-​in desk handled the situation. He made no effort to rectify the situation by suggesting other places to go or providing any thoughts on how to remedy the situation. All he offered was I could call his manager in the morning. He tossed a card my way with her number. When I pushed him a bit, asking him to call his manager then, he essentially told me to @*&^ off that he wasn’t going to do it because he had things to do (I was the only guest in sight). The worst part, however, is that he never apologized for the situation. I have literally only received customer service once in my life that was worse than this… and that was from a Frenchman.

Good place for the money. Very clean. Shower handle had trouble working but everything else was great. Definitely the best affordable option in North Platte.

I am not sure why the oak tree gets 4 stars. The only positive I have is that the mattress was good. Skinny blankets, not that clean, shower that does not drain and toilet that does not flush well and makes you a little worried you are going to clog it everytime you use it. And the free breakfast offer is over.

While we had reservations we were told they didn’t have ours and then complained about their service that handles them being pretty spotty. We were ‘lucky’ they still had a room for us after a 10 hour drive when we arrived at 10:30PM on a Monday.
Day crew was much more pleasant to deal with.
Good location right off the freeway, with a coupon for a free breakfast at a handy 24 hour diner on the same lot

VERY glad we stayed here!
This hotel is clean and affordable. We got vouchers for breakfast at the 50’s diner next door, which we were able to use for dinner instead. We both got our meals FREE, which was unexpected! The staff was super friendly upon check-​in and check-​out.
There are also a lot of businesses around that area, and since we were on a road trip, it was really helpful to get coffee at Dunkin’ Donuts down the road.
I would absolutely recommend this hotel!

A lovely restful overnight stop. Quiet, clean, fresh, comfortable rooms with fridge environmentally friendly soap in completely clean bathroom. Good wifi TV and all basic amenities. Staff was very nice at the hotel and diner next door for free delicious basic breakfasts. Would gladly recommend.

This Inn should have more $$$ next to its name. I was charged $ 86 for one nights stay, for 2 adults, mid week, AAA discount included!
Sure they give you a voucher for breakfast at the dinner next door, but I don’t think the room is any better then the nearby super 8. The shower was stained and gross with the drain plug sitting on the side of the tub and no toilet paper in the holder. Was this room even cleaned?
I wish I turned away right there at the register, but after our 11 hour drive, I couldn’t even stand the thought of getting back into that car. Next time though…

Who knew? This non smoking hotel has large quiet rooms at a fantastic price. Also, rather than providing the usual crappy continental breakfast, you get a 7.79 voucher for the small diner next door. It’s nothing special, but cooked to order eggs for free beats the heck out of stale cereal and a bagel. I was on a two week long road trip, and this was a nice gem to find. Another benefit — VERY dog friendly.

Wow, this hotel was a very pleasant surprise after a full day of driving 10+ hours. It was very clean throughout the hotel including the lobby, hallways, stairwells and most importantly the rooms. It seems this hotel recently had some remodeling work done. It smelled new, no stains in the carpet, comfy bed and nothing was damaged or worn. A free breakfast is included as well at the diner next door which is also very good.

Classic case of not judging a book by it’s cover.
When we first drove up I was a little worried. The hotel itself looks pretty out dated and there is a motel that is kinda scary directly next to this one.
However upon check in my mind slowly started changing. The girls in the front were really friendly. I read some other reviews saying how rude they were and I didn’t get that at all. They were very nice and struck up conversation both during check in and check out.
The hotel halls are totally out of a horror movie. Dark, dim lighting, eerily quiet.
Once we got to our room I was happy. It’s not fancy, updated or a resort or anything. But it was clean, had a tv FREE WI FI, NO PET FEEs and was VERY quiet. I didn’t hear a single noise the whole time we were there and the hotel was pretty much full.
This hotel is a great value.

On our way back through the midwest after a multistate excursion in motels, lodges and cabins in CO, WY & SD this was the best accommodation of a 2 week trip — clean, updated motel walking distance to shopping and excellent food. Convenient layout, eye pleasing color scheme and helpful staff — when I called to inquire about availability on short notice, they pleasantly answered my questions and kindly offered to make a reservation multiple times. Secured a full sized 2 bed room complete with firm mattresses, thank you, for $ 90 (keep in mind this includes meal vouchers for all members of your party @ Penny’s Diner next door). Excellent value, location and a quiet clean resting place. A gem on the plains!

They let us check in at 9am even though their standard check in isn’t until 5pm. Very nice, clean rooms. No extra charges for our two large dogs. We were supposed to get a free meal at Penny’s Diner which others have raved about, but unfortunately they were having cooler problems so we ate at whiskey creek next door.
The rudeness or politeness of the staff is hit or miss, but not terrible. The rooms were clean, quiet, comfortable, and affordable. I’d stay here again.

Oak Tree Inn was a welcome oasis after a very long day driving through snow storms, snow showers, blowing snow and avoiding snow plows, crazy drivers, and slick patches.
My room was well appointed and well maintained. Mini-​fridge, microwave, hair dryer, flat screen, good WIFI, ironing board. Comfortable bed, clean modern bathroom and tub/​shower. Free breakfast (or $ 7.75 to apply to any meal) at the 24 hour diner next door. Staff was pleasant and attentive. I had an excellent night’s sleep in a very quiet room.
One thing to note for folks who have difficulty walking very far — the motel is very long and as far as I can tell there are only entrances on each end resulting in a long walk if you are in one of the rooms in the middle. You are probably best advised to request a room close to one of the ends to make things a little easier. Just a thought.
I see there are other Oak Tree Inns around the country. I am going to start seeking them out during my travels.

Upon check-​in: I have to say that I’m glad that I found this place. The room is spacious and clean, and the modest cost includes a full breakfast (with coffee) at the diner. A bargain if there ever was one! The pillows are high-​quality and the mattress is just the right combination if soft and firm. Staying at the Hampton would have cost twice as much and not been any better.
After breakfast: The breakfast burrito was delicious, and came with a side of hash browns. The voucher covered the coffee too, turning a meal of over $ 10 to a mere 74 cents.
In summary: Have no fear when choosing here!

As an over the road truck driver, I have stayed in my fair share of hotels/​motels.
Whenever I come across one that should be mentioned, either good or bad (my reviews reflect this), I do so.
I stayed at the Oak Tree Inn for two days/​nights and could not be happier with the facilities and staff. There are good amenities from the computer in the lobby, gym (VERY nice variety of equipment to choose from), and on-​site laundry. All the things a weary road warrior appreciates!
The room was very clean and had a desk, microwave, fridge, and coffee maker. Not uncommon by any means, but as of late, at least one of the above seems to be absent… not sue why. Not in the case of Oak Tree Inn though! The TV was a new flat screen with an ACCURATE channel guide. Why is it so hard for most establishments to get this right? That might not mean much, but for me it is the little things that make a stay enjoyable or not.
As an unexpected bonus, you receive a free breakfast or credit towards diner at Penny’s Dinner. This is a VERY welcomed change from the free «conveyor belt pancakes» that so often make up the offered «free hot breakfast». You frequent travelers know what I mean. :)
I recommend this place without hesitation! You will not be disappointed!
If you are a trucker stuck in the area waiting for repairs like I was, they even offer a free shuttle that runs ²⁴⁄₇. Yes…24/7! What is NOT to like about that?
Till next time, be safe out there :)

We stayed at this hotel for one night during our drive from Nevada to Wisconsin. Staff was very friendly and service was prompt. As we arrived very late (2am Wisconsin time), we were very happy to know that the room was ready and that we could settle in easily.
The Penny’s Diner across the street was good, too. First, I’m happy that they were right next to the hotel. There was no need to drive/​walk across the street — for someone who just did a 14 hour drive, yes, I did not feel like walking or driving more than I needed to. I’m glad to see they had a breakfast selection for vegetarian’s, which was just a breakfast of french toast — as my boyfriend is a vegetarian. My breakfast was hash browns, eggs (scrambled), and two sausages. It was very filling and tasted pretty good. Additionally, the waitress was very accommodating and friendly — after we informed her we were headed out for an 10 – 11 hour drive to Wisconsin and asked her to fill up our water-​bottles, not only did she fill them up, but she added ice to them. (Thanks, lady! :-) That was greatly appreciated!)
If I were to do another drive like this, which I probably will in the future, I would not mind staying at this hotel. They are also pet-​friendly, which is wonderful.

Good rooms. Very quite while we were there. Enjoyed the stay and the free excellant breakfast at Penny’s.

Stay away from this place! I decided to give it a try while travelling across the country on I-​80 last month. I arrived late and exhausted, and it took them half an hour to get my reserved room ready. What was the point of the reservation? When I finally made it to the room, I went to take a shower and was surprised to find that no shampoo was provided. It’s supposed to be, but they were «out of» it and unapologetically handed me another hand wash bar. This type of poor management seemed to fit with the attitude of the front desk staff: rude and unwelcoming.
The breakfast was good, but do yourself a favor and stay somewhere else for the night. You can still go to Penny’s in the morning.

This was a lot nicer than I expected. For $ 69 plus tax we got a big room with a king bed, mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, desk, tv with cable and more. Definitely would come back on my next road trip. Especially if the complementary breakfast at Penny’s Diner is good in the morning.
(BTW: the breakfast was awesome!!!)
