Holiday Inn Express & Suites Lincoln Airport by IHG
The staff member at check-in was very friendly. I would say over all the place was clean. My biggest problem was the walls need installation for sound!

Motel 6 Lincoln, NE - Airport
The room was fine until when I turned the light on in the morning and saw several cockroaches scurrying about. Easy problem to correct. If that is addressed, then otherwise the room was fine.
