"All the staff was great! At check-in Ross & Sooki were so friendly, prompt, and helpful! We arrived a little early, before check-in time, so our room wasn’t quite ready, totally okay! We went to get our bags out of the car as we were just going to have it parked and them hold our things while we ate a late lunch. We we walked back inside they had rearranged a few things so we could get settled into a room and not worried about checking bags with them. Valet was great too! Very prompt!"

"$41.00 for breakfast for two, served in paper bowls with plastic utensils and and do-it-yourself coffee was not impressive."

Best Western Plus Lincoln Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel, good breakfast!"

The Kindler Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The Kindler Hotel is truly a hidden gem in Lincoln! My husband and I stayed here while we were in town for a concert, and our entire experience was beyond exceptional. The hotel is beautiful, incredibly clean, and the rooms are gorgeous with so much attention to detail. The service was outstanding from start to finish. We also loved the bar. The drinks were amazing, and the staff made the experience even better. We especially appreciated the extra snack options available in the mini bar area in our room. We will 100% stay at The Kindler again the next time we’re in Lincoln. Such a great find and absolutely recommend!"
