Good hotel for family. Stayed during state basketball it was clean and worked great for family. The game room shown in picture costs $5 per hour per person. It was after a snow storm when arrived and the snow removal was poor.

Only one issue everything else was good.

We have stayed here the last 2 years in a row every time the Lincoln bike show was in town and usually have never had any issues until this last weekend. The workers we had when we were there were attentive and kind. However, one down side was that we did find a cockroach when we got into our room about an hour or so later. When we called down to let the front desk know they weren’t able to do much since they were booked on the mainstay side and we would of had to switch rooms (which we needed a kitchen to prepare breast milk and formula for premie babies) so switching rooms would of been a hassle. So we just kind of prayed and hoped that we wouldn’t see another one and took precautions to keep our bottles on the table out of the kitchen to be safe. We didn’t see another one, luckily but I was told that the front desk would have the general Manger call me the next morning (Saturday) but today is Monday and I haven’t received a call. So I’ll try to call later today to give her the day since she was out til today.
The cockroach we killed on the kitchenette counter. We did give them the bag at the front desk also.

Just Fine

Room was good for the price. No shampoo for the room. Not sure if it was supposed to have it or not. Toilet flush valve decided to ljust start leaking at about 1am so the toilet ran all night long.

Comfortable

We stayed for a night while passing through. We wanted a place with a king bed and a pull out couch for the little one, which is exactly what we got. We also had our dog so we were thrilled about the $15 pet fee (many places charge more). We appreciated having the kitchenette so we could unload the cooler for the night. We were right next to a birthday party and we heard nothing. We hardly heard anyone in the halls. It was definitely comfortable for a night. Breakfast had a decent spread and the front desk was friendly. I wouldn't mind staying again.
