Nice, but noisy!

If you have a choice, book a room that doesn't look out over O Street. The traffic noise is a lot. They do provide you with earplugs, though!

Great Lincoln location!

We had a one-night stay after a long day on the road. The hotel was clean, spacious and staff were friendly. The room was clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. They had many selections for breakfast. Was sorry we couldn’t stay longer.

Located in downtown so I felt safe for an overnight stay just passing through town on a road trip. The receptionist had issues with the credit card at first, he called for help which took a while. It was inconvenient for me after driving 10+ hours and checking in at 10:30pm, all I want is to shower and sleep. Parking garage in gated so it felt safe. Complimentary breakfast was decent.
Breakfast with the downtown view.

I thought the desk was helpful and able to problem solve for us when a door’s deadbolt was not functioning properly. What I did not like is that the bathroom walls were thin and we could hear the room’s next to us occupants while in there. Also, I did not like this new trend of expecting paying guests to pay $20/night additional for parking.

The off site parking was across a very busy street, which makes schlepping luggage an ordeal. The street noise was quite loud until 3:00 am. They did provide ear plugs.
