Very clean rooms and extremely friendly family running the place. Yes, rooms are very basic and decor is dated but cleanliness and staff were surprisingly great. Also felt safe leaving my car and belongings behind while off for a concert.

Last time I was here the staff were really above and beyond. Old school rooms (including smoking) were clean. For the price, location and service it can't be beat. One time I walked in here after a night on the town and it was absurdly cold out (negative 15 or something) and the heater wouldn't keep up. The guy at the desk came back with two space heaters. Another time I just remember the family being really helpful and friendly.

Great place to stay for a night out on the town in Lincoln. The room was nice & cozy, air conditioning worked great, & the service was friendly & helpful. Microwave, coffee machine, & refrigerator in the room. It’s a great inexpensive option within walking distance of downtown Lincoln. We would stay here again.

I believe the folks that run this hotel are genuine good people, they seem very friendly and welcoming. Family ran. They have worked tirelessly to renovate, clean, organize the entire building to provide a large Metropolitan city vibe located in the heart of the city of Lincoln high above all the rest on prime estate with views of down town and easy accessibility to literally wherever both locals and travelers can use alike including the smoke shop and restaurants nest door attached to multiple gas stations slots down town and the like market places hardware and what have you
