"The man who takes care of the breakfast is a wonderful employee. He did everything to make our visit enjoyable."

Econo Lodge Lincoln

8/10 Good

"We were traveling but it was game day in Lincoln. Most places were booked at sky-high prices. We wouldn’t ordinarily stay at an EconoLodge but it was what we could find at a price we were willing to pay. We had a good night’s sleep in a room that was safe, clean and quiet. The finishes were worn, scrubbing the inside of the exterior door would be an improvement. I have a CPap machine but there was no plug on my side of the bed so we strung the cord behind our pillows. I woke up several times in the night to make sure the power pack wasn’t overheating on the bed. Nothing was fancy, but it had most everything we needed and things like a fridge and microwave we didn’t use. We were pleasantly surprised."
