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.

To attend an athletic event. Room great, staff very good, continental breakfast very good. BUT the room came with ear plugs. WOW, they were really needed too. So much road noise!!! All most all night too. This would be an awesome hotel if I were “very” hard of hearing…..

It was great except that the water in the bathroom smelled like it was wastewater. That was a huge negative, or else I’d want to stay and live in the hotel forever.
