Best Hotels near Sheldon Museum of Art, 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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.
