Top Downtown Lincoln Hotel Reviews

The Kindler Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Unknown "

Drury Plaza Hotel Lincoln Downtown

8/10 Good

"It's a great space with great amenities. Just a couple notes to make your stay an amazing one, in case this suits you. The pillows are all fluffy. Bring a fan. The food at happy hour time is great, especially for families with littles, saves a lot of money eating out. The bar was great with very helpful friendly bartenders an staff."

Graduate by Hilton Lincoln

10/10 Excellent

"The gym needs a fan badly as there is no air circulation! The hotel was unique and fun as we have come to expect from Graduate hotels! The parking garage is treacherous space wise, but geographical footprint is limited in a downtown/haymarket area, so tight spaces are expected. It was quiet even though we had seen no short of 1000 inebriated 20 somethings during our stay"

La Quinta Inn by Wyndham Lincoln, Nebraska

8/10 Good

"Fitness center had broken treadmill--I was notified upon arrival, however, it was an inconvenience. Coffee for coffeemaker in room was not replenished. Kurig style coffee maker would be nice. Room was clean. Facility was ok, but showing some age. No variety for breakfast."

Embassy Suites Lincoln

10/10 Excellent

"The shower didn’t have a steady stream of water. The pool could’ve been more clean. Did not like the location of the faucet controls. Love the evening reception and happy hour! Elevators were clean but there was a spill of goldfish for a long time in one elevator. We had an AMAZING stay overall. Thanks for all the staff who cleaned and served us during our stay!"
