Great Lincoln location!

We had a one-night stay after a long day on the road. The hotel was clean, spacious and staff were friendly. The room was clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. They had many selections for breakfast. Was sorry we couldn’t stay longer.

I liked the cleanliness of the room and the climate control. I also liked the large breakfast in the morning. I disliked the following. I couldn't figure out how to use the television as it asked for a USB. Also there was a gap in the door to my hotel room.
