When is the best time to go to Lincoln?

The best time to visit Lincoln is during the spring (April to May) or autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant and comfortable for exploring. During these seasons, you'll find the temperatures are mild, making it ideal for outdoor activities like visiting the Sunken Gardens or walking around the historic Haymarket District. Spring brings blooming flowers, and autumn offers lovely fall foliage, providing a picturesque backdrop for your trip. For those interested in sports, particularly American football, visiting in the autumn aligns with the college football season. The atmosphere in Lincoln on a game day is quite exciting, even if you're just experiencing the pre-game buzz around Memorial Stadium. However, accommodation can be more expensive and harder to find during these periods, so booking well in advance is advisable.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline − this is often within 24 to 48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our ‘Fully refundable property’ filter during your search to find the right Lincoln hotel for you.

Comfort Suites Coralville I-80

10/10 Excellent

"We had a very comfortable stay."

Days Inn by Wyndham West Branch Iowa City Area

8/10 Good

"Well, let's see. If you're looking to simply put your head down and get some rest, while graveling the vastness of the east-west interstate 80, this is okay. There's not much going on in this city, but you're not really here for the entertainment or social options if you're here. The property needs a refresh. Everything's just pretty mid. But it's ok, shower works well, bed is comfortable. No complaints."
