Embassy Suites by Hilton Hotels in Lincoln

I had never even been to Lincoln before when I booked a room here for the night of August 1st, 2022. The hotel is not easy to find, and by the time I did the sun had already set. Pulling into the dark parking lot, I was more than a little concerned about the people hanging out around some of the cars in the lot, playing loud music and hollering to one another. Not good. Upon walking into the lobby, a young man in dread locks and a dirty T-shirt approached from a back room. ”Checking in?” he asked. Yes, I told him, I had a reservation. So then he plops down a sheet of paper on the counter in front of me and says, ”Just sign here,” pointing, ”and I'll need a credit card for incidentals.” Please note that I had already used a debit card to reserve the room, so why would he need it again for 'incidentals'? I smelled a scam, but instead of pointing this out simply told him that I wouldn't be needing any incidentals. The sullen stare I got in return told me to get the hell outta there. ”Is it too late to cancel my reservation?” I asked. ”No, it's not too late,” the guy replied. ”Thank you,” I said, and immediately left. The next day I checked my bank statement and, sure enough, the guy had lied to me and gone ahead and charged me nearly $100 for the room. Repeated phone calls to the manager at the New Victorian went unanswered. Obviously the good reviews you see here and elsewhere are entirely bogus. Don't believe them like I did and steer clear of this place if you know what's good for you.

The hotel is located in the city centre and there are many attractions nearby. The hotel has paid parking and parking is very convenient. Shopping and eating are very convenient. The restaurant inside the hotel is delicious. Standard American breakfast, self-service order, but the buffet is almost the same every day, not much change.

We arrived around 10 pm after traveling for 16 hours. Just really needed a cool room and clean bed, and we got neither of those things. The AC was broken, and the room was at least 85 degrees all night. The front desk person did nothing to remedy expect to tell me to call the manager and ask for money back. When I pulled back the comforter to get into bed, the sheets were stained. Yuck. We were so happy when the alarm went off and we could get out of there. This hotel is nasty and whoever is saying it’s kid friendly, it’s absolutely not. Don’t waste your money, there’s nicer hotels in the same area.

The location is good, the east side is the expressway, the traffic lights and bridges enter the Lincoln campus and the stadium; the west side is the casual bar-like old district, which seems to be the most lively place in Lincoln. The hotel's free WIFI clicks are connected, unlike some hotels (such as the Ambassador Hotel that lived for a while), it is annoying to join the membership and log in again every day. There are quite a few Chinese restaurants in a kilometer. At least I have been to 4 or 5 restaurants. Of course, Indian and Mexican restaurants are also good. The rooms are relatively large, and the sanitation, facilities and services are all at the Marriott level. Recommended for latecomers

Super ,friendly, very helpful cooperative. affordable, everything works. Great parking. Only thing was the elevators were very hot going up and down. I loved your hot breakfasts. Very good coffee. hot showers.

The Kindler Hotel is indeed a treasure in downtown Lincoln, NE. This beautiful boutique hotel is conveniently located within walking distance of entertainment, restaurants, and nightlife. We found we didn’t even need to leave the hotel in the evening because they have such an amazing lounge!! The rooms at The Kindler look and feel luxurious. The heated bathroom floors, comfortable beds, and the plentiful amenities made us feel pampered. The staff is friendly and accommodating and went the extra step to make our stay very special!!!

There is a parking lot, parking is $15 per day, there is a discount, we stopped for four days and received two days.

When I booked the hotel, I chose to bring breakfast. The next day, I took out the breakfast voucher. The waiter girl was unwilling and waited for 25 minutes before serving breakfast. The breakfast is less than 20 US dollars to order. In fact, in order to add breakfast, you should have paid 25 US dollars. If you knew it, you would not have ordered breakfast in advance.

So, if you are traveling down I-80 and just need a place to rest your eyes, this might be okay. The area of the hotel is safe and the bed and linens were clean. After that, well, we’re sorta surprised that Americinn would keep it in the franchise. The housekeepers do a great job, but we don’t think they have any maintenance people with opposable thumbs. Missing smoke detectors, irons, doors on the cabinets and drawer in the bathroom. Dents in every lamp, chips in every wall and we wouldn’t even bathe our dog in the in-room hot tub. Not enough outlets to plug in two cell phones. Trash dumpster is the first thing you see and the parking lot has abandoned cars with flats and windows open. A giant lady standing two inches from the outside door enjoying a heater. I think you’re getting the idea. It was only $80 for a Sunday night and that beats driving into the ditch or sleeping in a wayside rest. Although we would not stay here again, we recommend it to anybody tight on cash that just needs a place to sleep and shower. It’s safe and cheap.
