Charming 3 Bedroom House Conveniently Located in Central Lincoln
This home had such a welcoming & cozy feel. The motion lights to Illuminate the stairs to the basement were very helpful! They were also in the bedroom closets. Comfortable beds and furniture. Communication with the hosts was easy and they responded quickly. We will definitely keep this property ...

Drury Plaza Hotel Lincoln Downtown
Great location downtown, 10mins from airport. Breakfast was amazing. The staff were helpful and friendly. Full kitchen until midnight and food was great. Front desk woman (long hair and tattoo's) was really welcoming even though we got there at 3am due to travel issues.

Graduate by Hilton Lincoln
Thy front desk lady canceled my entire reservation to begin with so I then had to purchase an entire room that was 100 more than my initial reservation. The pool was closed & I was never made aware as that was the only reason I chose that hotel. Extremely disappointed for the amount of money ...
