Cleanliness of rooms and shared spaces receives frequent praise. Rooms are comfortable but often small, with occasional thin walls or noise in hallways or near busy areas.

Its a nice looking place, and our room was nice and comfortable. Nice, large pool and hot tub however the amount of chlorine, in the hot tub, burned my eyes. The massage and massage therapist were great. The restaurant, Timbers, was a huge dissapointment. Its a nice restaurant and our server was great. The food was truly awful. We ordered Chicken Parmesan. What we received was NOT that. We took two bites and could not finish it. Thankfully, we weren't charged. I would highly reccomend eating out in town. We ended up at the City Tap House. The service and food there were really good.

Beautiful place to stay with fine dining at the property. Swimming pool is Olympic size with plenty of room for guests. Also a kiddie pool and hot tub. Lots of trail walking options and historical sites very close to the hotel.

This was our second time there for a weekend getaway. Very friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant on site was good plus you can get food in the bar. Room was real nice, clean and comfortable. We used the hot tub by the pool plus got massages at their spa. The only complaint was the noise from children running up and down the hall.

The reason you received a “Good” score on Facilities was because the chlorine in the spa was very irritating. When we conversed with another patron they also mentioned that they noticed the strong odor from the 2nd floor.

Common areas were the highlight of the hotel! Very nice, separate enough to not feel in the middle of things, and always a warm fire to boost your mood. Staff was friendly and rooms very clean and well appointed. The pool was spacious and getting lots of use as it was a holiday weekend.

Of course it's a wonderful facility. Nice restaurant. Great setting. But why are they putting people in rooms adjacent to a "hospitality lounge" for a conference going on at the hotel? For long stretches after 11pm there were groups of people in the hallway yakking away like they were in a bar, right outside our door. At least that's what is sounded like. I was tempted to call the desk but didn't want to get out of bed and kept thinking, "these people can't possibly KEEP making this racket much longer". In fact, I bet they could hear them at the front desk. Why not use one of the conference rooms for a party room? For $250 a night I was expected all kinds of peace and quiet. Don't let them put you in 304.

The rooms are very small, our shower didn’t drain and the bath stopper was rusted and got stuck once it was able to close. There is also no room as a community space to hang out. The lobby is small and there are no spaces when you have more than 5 people.

This property is a beautiful getaway. Unfortunately, they denied us initially because their system made our Expedia reservation for the wrong day. After some frustration, we showed them our Expedia reservation, and they found us a room. After checking into the room, we found it was right next to the elevator, and the dinging was non-stop. We asked to be moved and finally settled in an excellent room away from the elevator.

The Lied Lodge is likely one of the best hotels in the Midwest. They get all the details correct in every way, even making sure the housekeepers interact with you in a positive way.

Booked thru Expedia. King bed non-view. Checked in, walked to our room, 2 queen beds. Went back to front desk and was told no king beds account of plumbing issues. Got them to comp me a room with a view to make up for no king. Satisfied on the outcome.

Lied Lodge has to be on the best places to stay in the country! Situated just south of Omaha Nebraska, the grounds include Apple orchards and forested areas. You can tour Victorian hose or play golf. Elevated walkways through the trees give you a birds-eye view. The restaurant serves amazing dishes, many using locally grown ingredients. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend a stay at this resort level hotel!

My family and I have been coming to the Lied Lodge for over 25 years. We love it. It's our getaway from Lincoln -- one of our absolute favorite places on earth. The dining options this past visit, though, were a huge disappointment. I've never seen such a 'meat-centric' menu, and for a vegetarian/vegan like myself, there was hardly ANYTHING to choose from. Also, the Timber Room used to spotlight 'Local Foods' it had sourced. We saw no evidence on the menu that the Lied Lodge is still seeking to source local products... And promoting all that meat (rather than plant-based dishes) was a shock (as well as well as a disappointment). We love the Arbor Day Foundation for its emphasis on the environment and sustainability. The dining options need to reflect that sensitivity (as it has in the past and hopefully will again soon). Thank you.

I was very disappointed in your breakfast menu my wife just wanted a bagel or a English muffin or oatmeal or something and you have nothing and I asked the waiter and just need some good down home things on the menu with an all fancy stuff. You see a lot of people bringing their own stuff in and that’s why I know it’s more up in hotel but not always want the fancy food. We had a good time but we ate out a couple times.
