Great Stay

Chose this hotel based on good reviews and they were right! Hotel is clean, beds comfortable, breakfast nice, and easy access around to restaurants and stores. I don’t know if I’ll ever get around to Lincoln again but if I do, I’ll be back.

Wonderful member of staff checked us in. Friendly staff at breakfast when I went on search of a cloth as my son spilt syrup on the counter. Well run, organized and quiet. Just what we needed after a 500 mile drive.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms are very small, dated and not well taken care. We found left over garbage from previous guests. The room smelled and it was very dusty. It is not very well taken care of at all. The pool was freezing cold like jumping in a frozen lake in the middle of winter. The pool and hot tub were also very dirty. They definetly do not take care of them. The area behind the desk looked messy, unorganized and dirty. Overall it is just very run down and not taken care of. I would never stay here again.
