What guests think

At Candlewood Suites Lincoln by IHG, travelers appreciate the extended-stay setup with in-room kitchens and laundry and a quiet, convenient location, but report dated facilities, recurring maintenance problems, and cleanliness inconsistencies that affect public areas and some rooms.

Beds are frequently described as comfortable, and some rooms feel spacious, but guests cite HVAC troubles, shower pressure and fixture problems, door and key malfunctions, and occasional noise from equipment areas. Service feedback ranges from friendly, helpful staff to poor check-in handling, unfulfilled requests, and billing or reservation confusion. Expect a functional stay with notable variability in upkeep and service.

Great facilities for someone who has been traveling for a week. Just being able to do laundry was wonderful! Being able to cook my own food was great also.

Way too overpriced. Didn’t know I was getting an extended stay establishment until i arrived and checked in. That’s when i checked in to a full house refrigerator and stove stop range and a cabinet full of China. Gotta do better next time. Plus again like I started this venting, Way to overpriced!!!

Wasn’t greeted with any respect upon arrival. Needed to switch rooms to accommodate people and they didn’t look to help us at all. Asked for a cot and they don’t have any. Needed some extra pillows and blankets, and guess what, they don’t have any. Got handed a fitted sheet in place of those.

Booked online. Chose this property because of close proximity to destination. Facility dated and not well maintained. Elevator door make loud noise each time it closed. Check in was poor. Person at desk asked the same questions for each of two rooms. “Would you like a late check out?” If I did not need late check out on first room I didn’t need on second room! I reserved 2 rooms each with 2 queen beds. During check in I clarified that both rooms were 1 queen beds. My in laws went to first room then I checked into second room. In laws went to their room and it took several minutes to get second one. My wife and daughter went to second room and it only had one bed!!! Came back down to desk and just told ‘sorry’. No attempt to correct or compensate for error. Over all disappointed. Cost of over $200 per night seemed excessive for what we got. I’ve stayed in $89 rooms that were much nicer.

The worst extended stay I have ever been to, the room was barely clean, dirty dishes with rusted pots and pans. Old and stained tub with dingy towels and let’s not talk about the foul spell throughout the 1st floor! I almost threw up it stink so bad! The have some people that live there long term who had the whole 1st floor near the elevator funky! Laundry room was gross, dirty stained washers and dryers that look like it hasn’t been cleaned for years. Front desk and housekeeping coming in your room at 8 in the morning unannounced and someone snuck in the room and went into the bathroom while my daughter was in bed at 8 in the morning. Please do not stay there! The staff is weird and creepy, I will be filing a complaint with the BBB.

The room and the bed was comfortable. The only problem was we were next to the water sprinkler service room, and about every hour on the hour something was running in that room and was pretty noisy in our room. Made it hard to get a comfortable night sleep

My bathroom didn’t work all night. Airconditioning had issues. I paid 250 through Expedia and if it wasn’t for the night desk worker I would have had to pay more as the person he called for help wanted to charge me more and not honor what I paid online. I over heard his end on the phone. 250 dollars that cost a lot of money and to not even have a toilet. This was a poor experience… and money lost I’ll never get back

I made a reservation but due to unforeseen circumstances I needed to move it one night forward. I spent an hour on the phone with the booking party and more time talking to the desk clerk at the hotel. The matter was resolved, then due to the inability of the hotel to process the $10.89 difference in rate with the booking party, the issue became more complicated than before. This simple request seemed to escape the capacity of the desk agent, so I called the manager who said the reservation was moved and there is no problem. When I arrived at the hotel tonight the same desk clerk insisted on charging me $189 to stay. I am furious and to make matters worse, I paid for two nights but am only staying one, and I am a REPEAT customer! I’ve stayed twice a year for the past 10 years! Well, that is gonna come to an end to be sure.

It was nice and quiet, very comfortable stay. Mall and other places that I wanted to go to were just a 10 minute drive and also had some restaurants at a walking distance. The shower could use a different faucet, one that could move around more. Also, one piece of the vinyl flooring was popping out, slipped on it a little.
