Impressed by the friendly attentive staff at the cafe that serves breakfast. We ate there twice and they were so nice and efficient both times. Tried the breakfast burrito, bfast bowl and bfast sandwich- all very tasty. The room was very clean and had no issues with the bed or shower. Glad they don’t have plastic single-use toiletries and use dispensers in the showers instead. Wished there was some lotion, but not a big deal. I recommend this hotel and would stay again.

Clean, modern and comfortable. Location can't be beat if you're coming to Lincoln for a sporting event on campus. Easy walk to the football stadium and indoor arena. You're in the heart of the Haymarket district.

This hotel is in the best location. The Haymarket has a lot of restaurants, Bars and shops within walking distance. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We did the valet parking where we called before going downstairs and the car was ready. The bar had great drinks. The rooms were very clean and if you needed new towels they would bring the right up. We were there for a football game and the stadium was a short walk.

Excellent hotel with an unparalleled location. Great customer service as well from the staff; I appreciated Rachel's professionalism. The rooms are in great shape, with comfortable mattresses and good linens. Spotlessly clean as well. I loved the walkable location - close to the stadium and tons of restaurants. Downtown Lincoln feels very safe. You can either pay just under $20 to have your car valet parked; we chose the $11.50 parking garage just across the street. Highly recommend!
