402 Hotel

Post by Greg S »

I did a search but could not find anything already posted. Sounds like the folks behind the 816 Hotel in KC are converting a hotel in downtown Omaha and making it the 402. They are going something similar in Wichita too.

"The hotel will be small, funky, have a great vibe" on 2211 Douglas Street, ribbon cutting in September. I believe the old ugly yellow Econolodge

The parking garage that was going to go apartments a few years back?

I would love to see this hotel upgraded, but I think it would be even better if something was built from scratch here.

Agreed, the amount of reno to flip this property would be staggering.

I don't think there's enough bleach, isopropyl and ozone in the world to clean that |expletive| hole up, just doze the thing.

$600K isn't a very big reno budget. Hope this comes out decent. Fresh owners and paint is certainly an upgrade tho.

Comfort Inn near 
zoo has been sold and will be rebranded as the 402
Co-owner Doug Gamble said the newer acquisition, the 79-room property at 2920 S. 13th St., will undergo its own $600,000 remodel. The Comfort Inn sign and identity are to remain a few years until the franchise agreement expires, he said. Then the new 402 Hotel-Zoo sign will go up on the 11-year-old property.

Extensive renovation updates will wait until after the summer season. However, guests checking in over the next few months at the limited-service hotel near the zoo should notice changes aimed at keeping family patrons coming. A shuttle service, for instance, is to be offered to the Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium and to the Old Market.

The indoor pool is to be enhanced with a courtyard featuring pingpong tables, shuffleboard and other games.

The new owners say they will eventually replace furniture and remodel the lobby, adding a bar featuring free wine and beer during evenings.

Wow, has it been closed for awhile? Is the one by the zoo still operating? I know they'd done these area code hotels in KC and Wichita too.

The hotel by the zoo was up for auction yesterday. The owners must have gone bust.

OK thanks. Kind of a bummer. Thought they had a cool concept going. I'm sure the pandemic was a factor.

I don't know if there is enough space there, but I always thought that space would be great for a Great Wolf Lodge especially since its so close to the zoo.
