Best Hotels near Russ’s Market At 66th & O St. – Lincoln, Lincoln

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.

Long story on finding this place, it's a bit off of I88, but we liked it so much on trip going to Denver, we reserved it for our trip back from Denver. Clean, bed was comfortable, and there's an IHOP very near! Hadn't had IHOP in decades and it was really good. We'd learned to request rooms away from pets and they were very accomodating.

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.

Quiet spot. Located near historic Havelock. Breakfast is basic.
