Nobody at reception desk on arrival. Only one elevator working. Average wait tim 3-4 minutes. Dark dingy rooms with worn furniture. Dirty hallways. Location overlooks service area of car dealership. Room key did not open outside entrance doors. When notified staff person did not offer an explanation or even apology. No breakfast service due to “ facility issues”. Entire property needs a major renovation. Need I say more? A Motel 6 would have been better.

The hot tub is permanently closed off. The website still shows they have one in the pool area, but when we arrived it was permanently cemented over. The receptionist was not helpful. Our check in took way longer than usual, and the employee ended up charging me double, even tho I had already booked and pre-paid my room thru Expedia. It took a week to be refunded, and I got the run around every time I called. Something I did like about the room, was how clean it was. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom had big bottles of Dove shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, and hand soap. I was able to take a good shower, with good shampoos.

Rooms were spacious and nice, clean; front desk staff very friendly and helpful; excellent fitness center; great location. Note: we weren't told at check in that you must request daily room refreshing. That would have been good to know. Also, the washing machine that we very much needed was out of order. Other than that, a great place.

Hotel needs updates. Room was ok. Coffee table was broken upon arrival, maintenance was quick to fix it. It was warm and humid in hallways. Pool was great. Check in staff was nice and friendly. Staff Saturday night was not friendly at all. Breakfast was good each day except Sunday - food empty, out of forks no staff came to check on any of the items the 30 minutes we sat there.

Best I can tell this property has not upgraded its TVs and their small sizes for many years. That sets a tone of dated when entering the rooms and is annoying when watching sporting events during stays.

The rooms were clean and comfortable. The beds were equally comfortable and the sheets and comforters were clean and made you feel relaxed. The AC was a fairly loud and there seemed to be random noises coming from the bathroom area in the room next to ours or the upstairs area. Other than that, the experience was good

1 night stay last minute booking. Overall a good stay for the price paid $103 a night. Area felt safe and plenty of parking for a car close to hotel entrance. Hotel is looking a little tired perhaps due to age - not an issue for me as it is much better than many places I have stayed in a similar price bracket. I always go for hotels with a breakfast included to save time and money there was a $1 up charge for this but it was worth it for me you are not going to find another place with a $1 breakfast. The breakfast bar was very clean and with a good selection of food types in a large area More fruit would be ideal though please as only red apples and an orange were available. Bed linen was clean as were the windows and bathroom and free WiFi available. If Lincoln again I would stay there as worked for me for business.

I was in town for a family emergency and this hotel was perfectly located for my needs. Having the grocery store steps away, shopping mall across the street as well as other close by dining options was key. The rooms are clean and well maintained. The #1 things for me was the staff who went above and beyond to be kind and accommodating to us during this difficult trip. Triana will forever be in our hearts for her over the top kindness and help. The property itself is very basic. No real restaurant, the bar was only partly open and even the vending machines have been removed since our last visit. But in the limited hours we found the bar open, the bartender was superb and the happy hour deals were awesome. Thank you.
