Graduate by Hilton Lincoln
This is a neat hotel with lots of personality. Check in and out went smoothly, parking was easy (although the garage is tight if you're in a big vehicle) and the location is awesome. Easy walking to all the fun downtown. The restaurant was very good!

Best Western Plus Lincoln Inn & Suites
Beautiful hotel, easy highway access, great lounge and breakfast area. Rooms were nice. Only issue was the pull out cover was very dirty. Would stay again.
