Staff was very nice. A child's birthday party was being held the night we stayed. When checking in the staff said I'll give you a room away from them so its quieter. I thought that was nice. The card reader on our door worked to get us in the room, but never worked again. Staff tried to reset our keycards, used their master keycard, which did not work. The used an actual key to open our door. They did offer to move our room. We stayed put since we were already settled in the room and we just needed a place to sleep.

We always try to stay here when we are in Lincoln. It’s always been clean and quiet, and we love that they have ceiling fans in the rooms!
