This is your typical Hampton Inn, comfortable beds, cookies and all that. It is right next door to a Lazlo's which is an excellent place to have good meal and a few drinks. It is far away from any downtown action so take that into account if you have business in the Haymarket.

I've stayed at this Hampton Inn many times and the service is great! The front desk gals are very helpful and willing to help out with any request. Housekeeping does a great job with the rooms each night.

My only complaint would be that there isn't a small refrigerator and/or microwave in the room. I travel at least 3 nights a week and many Hampton Inns have these amenities. It's a big bonus and wish that this hotel had the same!

In all fairness, the common areas of this hotel are currently under renovation. The rooms, however, have been redone. They are OK, but definitely nothing to write home about. The lack of a microwave and fridge is a bit of a detractor. Additionally, my room seemed a bit small. The staff is excellent, though, always willing to help out. The location is not the best, especially if you have business in Downtown Lincoln. There are a lot of alternatives that are much closer...

Opened my visit on a sour note, as I was confronted upon check in about my rate. I had booked the room about 1 year prior to my visit, because I know that hotels in cities that host major college football games often jack up their rates for game weekends. So I book early and avoid paying the high prices. Anyway, the hotel didn't like the great rate that I had and tried to change the terms/condtions of my rate. Not a good start. The good news was that the manager arrived in the morning and over ruled her desk staff and left my rate as it had been booked. As a long time hilton honors participant, with over 100 nights in Hampton Inn's across the country, it's a darn good thing my rate was honored.

As to the hotel, it's pretty much exactly what you would expect from a hampton Inn, clean comfortable basic rooms, a decent breakfast, and aside from the initial staff encounter, a friendly staff. Good location next to a restaurant called Lazlo's, which has very good food.
