Cheap Hotels in Fremont, Nebraska, United States

Cheap hotels in Fremont, Nebraska are easy to find, but the old version of this guide listed places in Columbus, Mississippi. We removed all of them. This page now covers the lodging Fremont actually has. Fremont is the Dodge County seat on the Platte River, about 35 miles northwest of Omaha and 50 miles northeast of Lincoln. The city has six hotels and motels, plus camping at Fremont Lakes. We checked each one against at least two sources. We do not quote rates here, because rates change by date. Use the Expedia link below to compare current prices, and call the front desk before you book.

Both sources list an indoor pool, a fitness center, free breakfast, free WiFi and free parking. One directory says every room has a microwave and refrigerator. The pet rules conflict between sources.

Address: 2410 North Yager Road, Fremont, NE 68025. Phone: 402-620-4680. One directory lists check-in at 3:00 PM and check-out at noon.

The same directory lists an indoor pool, a 24-hour exercise room, a hot breakfast buffet, free WiFi, free parking and pet-friendly rooms. We found this detail in one source only, so treat the amenity list as unconfirmed and ask the front desk. The Marriott page would not load for us.

Wyndham lists a fitness center, free WiFi, free parking, guest laundry, a business center, a bar and a meeting room for up to 30 people.

Countryside Inn and Suites (BridgePointe Advantage)

Address: 1649 East 23rd Street, Fremont, NE 68025. Phone: 402-721-1109. The Fremont tourism office and a Nebraska travel directory use the name Countryside Inn and Suites.

Orbitz lists check-in from 3:00 PM and check-out before 11:00 AM. The minimum check-in age is 21.

Motels and Budget Choices in Fremont

Travelers who want motels in Fremont, Nebraska have three practical picks: Super 8, Rodeway Inn and Countryside Inn and Suites. Super 8 and Rodeway Inn have no pool according to one directory, and Countryside lists none. Super 8 and Rodeway Inn both list truck parking in one directory, which helps drivers with trailers or work vehicles.

We cannot name the cheapest hotel in Fremont, because we do not quote or compare rates. Rates shift with weekends, college events and summer festivals. Check the Expedia link at the top of this page for today’s prices, then phone two or three properties and ask about direct rates, senior rates or weekly stays.

Camping and Group Lodging Near Fremont

Fremont Lakes State Recreation Area sits three miles west of Fremont, according to Nebraska Game and Parks. The park offers 190 hard-surfaced RV pads with 20 or 30 amp electric hookups and 12 more electric sites without pads. Another 240 primitive sites have no electricity. Showers, restrooms, water and two dump stations are available. Fisherman’s Point Campground in the north camping area is closed until further notice. The park requires an entry permit, which you can buy at the park or online. The park phone is 402-727-2922 and the address is 4349 West State Lakes Road.

The area holds about 20 sandpit lakes. Anglers catch largemouth bass, bluegill, crappie and channel catfish. Swimming is allowed in buoyed areas only, and no lifeguards work the beaches. A concession stand on Victory Lake sells snacks and bait. Game and Parks does not list cabins on the page we read.

The Fremont tourism office also lists Dead Timber State Recreation Area near Scribner for tent and RV camping, and Fireman Park Campground in the town of Dodge. We found both in a single source, so call the numbers or the village office before you drive out. The same office lists two retreat centers, Calvin Crest Camp and Camp Rivercrest. Both serve church, youth and group retreats, so individual travelers should not expect hotel service. Calvin Crest is at 2870 County Road 13 and Camp Rivercrest is at 2840 County Road 13.

Things to Do Near Your Fremont Hotel

Downtown Fremont calls itself the antique capital of Nebraska, and the tourism office lists antique shops, boutiques, craft stores and bookstores. Historic buildings downtown include several on the National Register of Historic Places, according to Wikipedia.

The Louis E. May Historical Museum is at 1643 North Nye Avenue. Nebraska tourism lists the museum as open Wednesday through Saturday from April through December, with afternoon tours. The listing gives two different closing times, so call 402-721-4515 before you go. The museum fills a Victorian mansion and houses the Dodge County Historical Society.

The Love-Larson Opera House, built in 1888, hosts theater, according to Wikipedia. The Fremont YMCA has an Olympic-size indoor pool and an indoor ice rink, according to the tourism office. Bryson Airboats offers guided rides on the Platte River, with sunset trips. Check season and booking with the operator. John C. Fremont Days takes place each July with a parade, rodeo and car show.

Midland University and a Metropolitan Community College campus bring visitors for graduation and sports weekends. Hormel Foods runs a large plant in town and is the largest employer, so business travelers often fill rooms on weekdays. Book early around those dates.

Closed or Changed: The Railroad Museum and Old Listings

The Nebraska Railroad Museum ran a dinner train and museum from the Fremont depot. Wikipedia says the museum is closed pending a move to Nebraska City and lists its operating status as unknown. Ownership of the right of way and rail cars is in dispute. Do not plan a Fremont trip around a train ride until the museum confirms dates.

The previous version of this page described Columbus, Mississippi, including The Columbus House B and B, The Rosenwald Hotel, Courtyard by Marriott Columbus, Holiday Inn Express Columbus North, Bluff View Inn and Columbus RV Park. None of these places is in Fremont, so we dropped them.

How to Choose a Hotel or Motel in Fremont

Families who want a pool should start with Holiday Inn Express and Fairfield Inn and Suites. Both list an indoor pool and a free breakfast. Anglers and campers can base at Fremont Lakes and drive into town for supplies. Drivers with trucks should call Super 8 and Rodeway Inn about parking space. Guests with dogs should ask every hotel about pet rules in advance, because sources disagree for one property and fees vary.

Travelers on a tight budget should compare the three motel-style properties and call for direct rates. Business travelers and parents visiting students should reserve early around graduation and the Hormel work week. Anyone who needs an elevator should ask first, because Super 8 and Countryside Inn and Suites have none according to the sources we read.

What We Checked and What We Could Not

We read the Fremont tourism lodging page, a Nebraska hotel directory, Orbitz, Hotels.com, Wyndham’s Baymont page, Nebraska Game and Parks, Nebraska tourism, Wikipedia and the tourism office home page. Marriott, IHG and Wyndham pages for some properties would not load, so we did not retry them by other means.

We state no prices and no drive times beyond the two distances Wikipedia gives and the three miles Game and Parks gives for Fremont Lakes. Single-source details are marked as unconfirmed. Check-in times, pet rules and pool status can change, so phone the hotel before you book.
