Pros. Everything was great! Staff was extremely friendly, the decor was adorable and the amenities were great. I loved being able to bring my dog with me and it was fun seeing other residents with their doggies. The bar in the hotel is super cute with a great happy hour. Great location.

Cons. Nothing, everything was great.

Pros. Convenient location, in the Haymarket and close to downtown made this hotel appealing. Beyond that, though, I would not recommend this hotel as a top choice.

Cons. Hotel seemed dated with the fit and finish appearing a bit long in the tooth. There was mold growing around the windows in the room and dust on the carpeting around the edges of the room. The shower flooded the bathroom floor. The future had a sagging look to it. For the price of the room and the state of the appointments, I would have expected free parking and/or free breakfast, but all of that was extra. All of this combined to give the hotel the impression of being a party destination for football game day weekends, but not a good choice for any other reason. We would have preferred to have stayed at the Embassy Suites but it was full the night we were in Lincoln.
