New Victorian Suites
The hotel was very outdated. The rooms were big. The pullout couch was poor at best. The pillows were like sleeping with a piece of paper. The floors in the elevator and in the stairs were very dirty. They look like they possibly painted recently, however not well. The whole place need a remodel ...

Drury Plaza Hotel Lincoln Downtown
Great location. Very safe. Can be a bit noisy on the side with Barry's music playing. But being downtown in middle of everything in walking distance was great!

Nice place to stay while in Lincoln. Everything we did was walkable, so we parked in the connected ramp and didn’t worry about street parking.
