Parking situation was a little strange. We pd $10 parking fee and parked in a 2story parking garage across the street from our Hotel! The garage was easy to get to but the stalls were very tight and markings were nonvisable. Noone knew where to park. One poor lady got blocked in. 2nd level was accessed by 2 large flights of sketchy cement stairs. Definately NOT handicap accessible, luckily it wasnt a problem for us but could see alot of problems with that setup. In all fairness They do have another parking garage but it was underground and not connected to hotel either. Staff, amenities, breakfast, coffee and pool were great.

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.

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.
