You will find lodging in Ashland Nebraska along the exits of Interstate 80, the major east-west highway in the state. It parallels the former major road, historic Route 6, the longest highway ever built in the United States, stretching across fourteen states from Massachusetts on the Atlantic Ocean to California on the Pacific. These will be almost all Ashland Nebraska motels that provide ample parking, usually just steps from your room.

Additionally, if you detour off the main highway to drive along Route 6, you will be able to discover little hidden gems and attractions that you might miss if whizzing along the Interstate at more than 60 miles per hour.
