8 Top-Rated Motels in Lincoln, Nebraska

April 21, 2023 Yuk Petri

Named after Abraham Lincoln, this state capital is a great place for children, history buffs and outdoor enthusiasts. Soak in the panoramic view of the city from the observation tower of the 400-foot high capitol building, whose white stone Art Deco spire can be seen from miles around. Then take a tour of the building and its grounds, where you'll find a Lincoln monument created by the same artist who sculpted the famous Lincoln statue in Washington, D.C. While you're on a history roll, visit the Governor's Mansion, whose Georgian Colonial exterior belies the varied architectural styles inside, and be sure to see the collection of dolls representing the state's first ladies dressed in their inaugural gowns. Kids will love the Folsom Children's Zoo & Botanical Gardens, where they can circle the zoo in a miniature train and see over 300 animals living among spectacular gardens. For some outdoor fun, head to one of the city's beautiful parks, the largest of which is Wilderness Park, whose hiking, biking and equestrian trails will keep you on the move for hours.

Horizon Inn Motel

At Horizon Inn our low prices do not mean low quality. We are a family run motel independent of large motel franchise and royalty fees that raise your rate. What that means to you is an upper 4 star motel at a lower 1 star price. We offer the following above what those other franchises do: personal atmosphere, consistent quality, and a sincere gratefulness that you chose us to be your host while in the "Star City".

2 star, 2 ply

Greated by friendly man at front desk was nice. Okay place to stay if all you need is a place to rest for the night. This motel situated next to an adult only store will offer a slow flowing tub/shower basin, 2 ply toilet paper and facial tissues, watered down orange and apple juices, and non-working hair dryer. The dirty pair of men's socks that must have been left behind by prior guest let us know cleanliness was not the priority.

The price was awesome but the cleanliness and smell of it was just nauseating. The people were great and nothing with them but maybe the management needs to revise some deep cleaning that seriously needs attention.

We stayed overnight at this Baymont in Lincoln, Nebraska and it was quiet. The room heater was clean, and didn't trigger my allergies.There was breakfast offered during COVID and that was appreciated.

Worst hotel ever

Reviewed By 553mp

Rude manager (unaware of her name due to her not disclosing her name). A brief description- tattoos, dirty brunette hair, and glasses. We were placed in the wrong type of room, later got placed in correct room after fighting with the her and receiving horrible looks and attitude, but the room had a nasty tv remote, all lights were unplugged as well as the tv. I was also physically shocked while trying to plug in the power strip into the outlet that had no wall plate for the appliances. The powerstrip contained the refrigerator, microwave, tv and cable box. There were also no additional outlets for any personal devices that we brought. As well as this, it smelled absolutley disgusting of grease. My wife and i could not stay any longer. As we checked out we were unable to receive a refund for our two day reservation as, in her words, "i don't have your money." After again, fighting with her relentlessly and her later refusing to speak to us and refusing to get a manager, we left. We are still working on getting our money back. If i could rate this place a zero stars, i would. Worst hotel i have ever been and have never been treated so poorly. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY. Their treatment of paying customers is disgusting as well as the rooms.

The entryway was not as depicted on the Choice Hotel website or on TripAdvisor. The hotel was dingy throughout. Room was clean, but every part of the place needs renovation. Breakfast was marginal at best. I will not stay here again.

Sometimes you get what you pay for

Reviewed By Michael G

We had been traveling from our winter home to our summer home in ND. We were pulling a trailer and had traveled for about 9 hours when we arrived to this very disappointing stay. We often stay in Choice Hotel properties and this was the poorest stay for many years. The parking lot was difficult to navigate with a trailer as it had only one way in and out and very little space to turn around. We were exhausted from our drive and I had to wait for about 15 minutes waiting to check in as the desk staff attempted to try and help two young gentleman who were looking to find an extended stay hotel and had no intention of being a guest at this hotel. After these gentleman left he assisted another guest who had arrived there while I was standing and waiting and wanted change for vending machines. When I finally did get checked in we were assigned a room on the second floor at the far end of the hall. Why? There were hardly any guests. The hotel was badly in need of updates and could have been cleaner. The door to our room did not close well so I always had to check to see if the door latched. The room was adequate. Temperature was good and easy regulate. Water was hot for shower if you turned it to the highest setting and there were enough towels. Our room was clean and bedding was comfortable. It was easy to reach this hotel from the Interstate. It is located in an area where there is a cluster of hotels but the entire area is run down and not kept up very well. There are few places to eat in the immediate area so we had to settle for McDonalds which was within walking distance, but had to take our bag to our room as their dining room closed at 7 and we got there at 7:08 pm. The price was reasonable for the room, but as I mentioned in the title you get what you pay for. We will look for other accommodations when we pass through the area again.
