Well when we first got there it looked a little abandoned. The clerk was helpful but the place needs a lot of work. The shower head was broken and a couple of the towels were dirty in the restroom. We had to ask for new ones. We ended up leaving to another hotel my family wasn't happy with the place.

Poor communication, and deceiving.the clerk asked for 100. Cash deposit which I thought was very unusual
The clerk insisted stated will give cash back the next day. Only stayed there one night and we informed the clerk will be leaving very early the next day.
After he ran the card for the deposit of the 100.00 he told us to call early (4:00 am appx) and he will refund.
The next day we did as he told us only to find out the story changed and he would refund within 24 - 48 hrs. Now it has been over 10 days and still no refund. I filed a dispute with my credit card Co and I am wanting. In the mean time I called the hotel again asking for the refund the same clerk told me it was up to the owner to refund and he did not know when. I Would not recommend this place or will reserve here again.traveler beware.

tried to check in after already having a reservation booked. upon arrival I was immediately turned away by the front staff saying \"no. you can't stay here. we overbooked. there's no rooms. there's only one room and it's a one king bed but the TV doesn't work\" there are no other options. meanwhile I had a car full of 7 people wanting to relax after a long day only for me to tell them we can't stay here and everything else in Lincoln was booked. the inside smelt awful and the outside of the building was run down, signs broken, trash everywhere. in a way I'm glad I didn't get the room because after seeing the property I was not excited to stay there. I will not try this place again nor recommend it to anyone

The room was not as clean as I would have liked; stray hairs that did not belong to us in the bathroom. The bathroom sink filled quickly and was clogged, so very slow to drain and that was somewhat gross.
The AC worked fine.
I don’t know about the laundry, if there was any.
The front desk staff came across as indifferent and unfriendly.
It was an OH NO not an OYO.

Complete and total bait and switch! The photos shown on Expedia are 100% NOT what you get. My room had holes in the walls, water squishing under the tub, round seat on an elongated toilet, cigarette burns on the bathtub, curtains and blankets. And probably the worst part, NO staff in the morning at all to check out to get the refund of a $100 security deposit they sprung on me at check in. Complete awful experience. Health department and fire departments need to inspect this place. Almost forgot to mention the lipstick stains on the towels and the train yard a block away. Dirty and noisy stay.

Bathroom: At check-in no towels, no cups, no soap in shower. Roaches came out at night, toilet almost clogged when used “lightly”; shower clogged because drain was not clear. Phone in room unplugged, some lights did not work; Door lock was dodgy—you had to swipe the ‘magic’ card then body slam the door to open it. On the positive side, the beds were clean and importable; the day manager was a nice guy who appeared overwhelmed but did his best. Recommendation: if you are after an adventure, you might begin here.

I cannot review this hotel as we never stayed there. Hard to find the hotel when there is not a sign outside. Upon check-in we were told that Expedia over booked around 40 people. So we did not have a room. We were not able to find a room as we were in town for a concert and they were booked. The only positive was I got a full refund after talking to Expedia.

Worst experience ever. There is no signage at all so make sure to use mapquest. We arrived to the the very vocal front desk man telling the long line that he had 3 rooms left, if we already have reservations we needed to call for a refund. Everyone did have reservations. All hotels were booked in Lincoln for this night. The parking lot was empty all night so i am guessing most rooms are not used.This was at 3:30, and checkin was at 3. He kept saying he did not expect this today. Thankfully I was third in line. Took a single bed, the 2 bed I reserved was gone. Room was still dirty when we went in. We ran to Walmart so she could clean it. No towels, front desk gave me hand towels and a bath mat for 4 people. Husband went to bathroom and the whole toilet seat fell off. No heater but left a space heater that also didn't work. No blanket on the bed, only a sheet. We were at a concert and it poured rain on us so no heat or blankets was really uncomfortable. Don't lean on the second floor railing it is so loose.

Musty, cracked, broken , barely cleaned.
On a very busy weekend in Lincoln, reservations were lost or sold out from under...my room got downgraded and nearly lost. The Fridge was defrosting & leaking across the room with no towels in room. Former smoking hotel without any upgrades to hide smell from decades of abuse. Mildewy shower head told me not to even trust it. Again no towels. A (small) roach greeted me on my morning trip to the toilet. Bedding was lumpy, almost damp feeling. Didn't turn on TV so no review of that. Cracked outlet covers, very old lamp shades that may have been there in the 60's, broken bedside lamp, no bulb in the reading lamp, broken table, 3 hangers left on the rack (several metal rings for the hangers still attached). Actual check in time was about ten minutes after waiting in line for 20. Website phone number is California based, paper hung on the office had a hand written 402 number which lead to a voicemail that wasn't \"set up\".
Ownership needs to either burn it down & start over or heavily invest in some basics. Overall impression....Gross.

There was no sign on the hotel, not ideal for finding it. TV did not work, wifi worked, but not well. No towels in the room. The sink wouldn’t drain and the toilet was really noisy for quite a while after flushing. Neighbouring room kept us up partying all night, no enforcement of any noise restriction for later at night.
But, I will say that the man at the front desk was kind and friendly.
We for sure would not stay there again, a true dive.

Our stay never happened. I prepaid for a room with two queen beds. We got to town before check in, stopped at the hotel, our room wasn't ready which was perfectly fine because we were an hour and a half before check in time. Told them we will check in after the football game. When we got back to the hotel, they told us that they overbooked and didn't have a room with two beds for us. They offered us a room with one queen bed. We had 3 people so that meant one would be sleeping on the floor. We ended up having to stay at a friend's house. They said they will refund the charge. We will see of that actually happens, I guess.

Top rated bed bugs

After i made the non-refundable reservation my son went online and there were numerous reviews about issues with bed bugs at this hotel. I did not want to risk exposing my family and friends to that situation so we booked a different hotel. I'm extremely disappointed that Hotel.com allows this to happen and quite frankly i think I am owed a refund. These places should be somewhat vetted to prevent this from happening. NOT LISTED AS 4.0 RATINGS.

WORST PLACE
DO NOT BOOK
booked through Expedia the day before I called the hotels booking department to confirmed I have a reservation and they did
I got to the motel itself and they couldn’t find my reservation. The front desk lady even talked to a person from the booking department nothing came from it.
And to top it off as I was walking in, someone was complaining about bugs in the room/on the bed
Do not stay here
