OMAHA, Neb. - Nov. 20, 2017 - Rezul -- Kansas City based GLI Hospitality has launched its fourth "Area Code" hotel, the 402 Hotel #thebigO in Omaha, NE.  GLI purchased the former motor lodge at 2211 Douglas Street in July of 2016 and recently completed a major overhaul of the property.

The 402 Hotel #thebigO is now open for business and leisure travelers that appreciate the value of a dollar!

The renovation of the decades-old motor lodge included constructing a new, larger lobby and the integration of a lobby 'bar' at the front desk to accommodate a GLI customer favorite – free evening beverages during the daily manager's reception.  The new, eclectic lobby décor blends modern and fun and features art from local artists alongside a new "back porch" game area.
