Scottsbluff’s coolest stay is inside a 1931 power company building on Broadway. Powerhouse on Broadway keeps it intimate — six studio suites, each with its own design personality (the Ford suite’s panoramic setup is the one to request), in a building whose exterior alone stops traffic.
The ground floor runs as a restaurant and bar, and it’s become a genuine downtown hangout — the kind of place where the tomato bisque with grilled cheese has a local following. You’re steps from the rest of downtown Scottsbluff and an easy drive to Scotts Bluff National Monument and the Wildcat Hills.
With only six suites, weekends book out — reserve ahead, especially during monument-season summer and Oregon Trail days.
