Despite currently being rated 3*, this former Best Western is a typical nondescript 2* motel, enhanced by some landscaping and a second-rate restaurant. Although my room had some fancy plumbing fixtures it was otherwise pretty worn out. It was not large either and substantial part of it was taken up by a gigantic prefabricated wardrobe / dresser / storage unit. (From what I could glimpse, other rooms were not any different.)

The hotel located in the very center of Lincoln, that is (no offence) in the middle of nowhere. The only nearby "attraction" - Westfield shopping mall - is a few blocks away, but I would feel awkward walking in the area were streets don't even have sidewalks. The whole airport shuttle idea is sort of a joke, because the shuttle serves the airport ONLY, and you just can't get anywhere from this hotel without a car.

The restaurant is pathetic, it's so easy to find better ones. The "free breakfast" includes only coffee and pastries (that is no cereals, no fruits, no juice...). And you are, sort of, expected to tip the waitress. Needless to say, the hotel has neither wireless nor wired internet connection.

There was no business center marked on floor plan. Going from my pool to the pool or fitness center would require walking for about 200 yards across their outdoor parking lots.

My recommendation: avoid if at all possible!
