Anonymous, Dec 2016

Pros. Judging from our room this hotel is more for extended stay travelers. It was a mini apartment with a larger fridge, stove top, kitchen sink and a mini dishwasher. Even had a living room. Plus the bedroom and bathroom with a large closet. My boyfriend and I were blown away that we got that huge of a room for a low price. After taxes and fees we paid a little over $200 for 2 nights. Was very clean. Didn't use the pool and hot tub but it looked very nice. Continental breakfast was also good. Had an arrange of hot breakfast items to the regular cereal, bagels and fruits. Would stay here again when I'm in Lincoln.
