Graduate by Hilton Lincoln
Thy front desk lady canceled my entire reservation to begin with so I then had to purchase an entire room that was 100 more than my initial reservation. The pool was closed & I was never made aware as that was the only reason I chose that hotel. Extremely disappointed for the amount of money ...

Hyatt Place Lincoln / Downtown - Haymarket
It was a very nice place, I will say the bed was not as comfortable as some I’ve stayed in. Staff was very friendly and did a great job. Breakfast was really good. I do feel parking should be included in the price. We are already spending enough on everything else.
