Best Hotels near Morrill Hall, Lincoln

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.

Check in was quick and easy. The room appeared clean. The bathtub was speckled with dark rusty spots. Bedding appeared white until the linens were pulled down and they were soiled. Popcorn in between the mattresses. Debris in dresser drawers, corners, behind the toilet. We were only given one set of towels. Had to ask for more towels (the reservation was for two adults), and they bought us one more towel. (No additional wash cloths or hand towels,) and weren't exceedingly friendly about it.. they have been remodeling for awhile now, but it doesn't take a lot of $ to clean and even less for adequate quality control attempts. .

I was booked here by my company for separate stays about a week in duration each time. This place is so consistently inconsistent I can’t even explain it. One room- no ironing board and the iron looked as if someone cooked a steak on it. I would have simply asked for the board but most of the FD staff really give off the impression that they just don’t want to be bothered. Next stay- had an ironing board but not a working fridge. Nightly trips to the ice machine was fun for a week. Lights in the bathroom kept going off- but if you tap it just right you’ll get about 10 minutes of light before it shorts out again. Walls near the tub are soft (or damaged terribly) from water. A few consistent things; there’s no exhaust vent in the bathroom so it’s a shower and room sauna combo. Not a big deal, but certainly annoying. Each of my three beds have sank so bad you wake wishing you had time to set a chiropractor appointment. First floor rooms smell like mold and mildew horribly. All the shower handles have been so lose you tread very carefully turning it on and off so it doesn’t fall right off. Same with the towel bar (wiggle, wiggle, whoops!) There are literally cameras everywhere and in some spots I’ve seen two (one right next to each other) not to mention the moving robot style one right above the desk when you check in. Not sure yet if these actually makes me feel safer - or more worried. The upside and plus-side is that the rooms (each one I’ve had) has been clean. The housekeeping crew is apparently dedicated so for that I’m thankful. Honestly, shame on Choice Hotels for this one. Things (yes, there’s more) have just been blatantly ignored, let go, added up and none of this was an instant overnight process. The bad news is - that becomes the guest’s problem. The fellow reviews are telling you the same… so just don’t. If I had a choice I wouldn’t have either.

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.

I have stayed in other hotels, There is not one that could compare with the Best Western Plus in Lincoln Ne. The prices are reasonable, the caring and friendliness of the staff was amazing, not to mention the rooms are very comfortable and clean. They offer a well rounded breakfast and have many selections. I was very satisfied and will always choose Best Western Plus.
