The Satellite Motel is an Omaha landmark. The unique architecture makes it worth the visit. The rooms were tidy, clean, and in good condition, but basic and nothing fancy. The bed was what you would expect from a relatively cheap motel- don’t expect to feel like you’re sleeping on a cloud. I have stayed in much worse places- I was not concerned about safety or sanitation.
Unfortunately, I would not return for another stay due to the overwhelming stench of cigarette and marijuana smoke throughout the hotel and in my room. I left with the smell clinging to my clothing, that’s how thick it is.
It is unfortunate that a place like this, which has so much potential to be a unique destination experience, has fallen to nothing more than a cheap roadside motel. I get that the owners have to do what they have to do to keep the lights on. I really hope that someday someone takes over and breathes some life back into it.

The motel is cheap and the rooms have all the basic necessities. That being said, they require $20 cash upfront as a deposit regardless how you are paying which I thought was weird. They do give it back up on checkout though. The entire motel smells like cigarettes and there were shady characters walking around. The cigarette smoke often leaked into our room. It's hard to sleep due to it being located right next to a busy intersection so you'll be hearing cars at all hours of the night.
If you just need a quick place to stay for a night, this is a good deal. Otherwise, spend the extra money and go somewhere else if you want a more comfortable less sketchy experience.

I would like to report a negative customer service experience I had while calling this establishment. When I called, there was no greeting, and I was not even sure I called the right number. Upon asking the price of a single night, I was met with a brusque answer, and was hung up on. Since I had more questions, I had to call again. I actually had to be the first one to speak on the next call as there was absolutely no greeting again. I asked a secondary question, a weekly rate, your employee simply stated the number and hung up on me again. Alas, I had more than two questions! I needed to know if an ADA accessible room was available. I called again, and with my question, requested a supervisor and a phone number. I was given an 11 digit phone number, which is clearly illegitimate I called again later in the evening, and got a similar response. I was told there was no management or Supervisor that I could speak to, until he suddenly switched up and had a name and number. This information was unintelligible and when I asked to clarify the phone number, I was again hung up on. I called 2 more times, and they didn't even answer the phone. This being said, I would appreciate a follow up on what is being done to address this.

I have wanted to stay at the Satellite Motel since I first saw it 17 years ago. I finally stayed for my anniversary and it was wonderful! It was quiet, clean and very unique. The main lobby area smelled a bit smoky but our room didn't have a whiff of smoke whatsoever. The room was updated and spacious; I could also tell it was very clean. I never use the covers in motels and hotels so it was a non issue that the blanket had a small hole. We just tossed it to the side and used a blanket we brought from home. The sheets were immaculate and fresh.The shower is huge and has very strong water pressure! Also very clean. I love the bonus curtain in case the clear door doesn't give enough privacy. They thought of everything.We enjoyed the community balcony as well; it's a great photo opp and a fun touch. It was a great price and a unique experience that I highly recommend for anyone who has ever wanted to experience this motel!
