It says there is an EV charger onsite, there is not. It is next door and you can only charge for a few hours before it charges you over 20 dollars an hour, and there is no overnight parking. Also there is a 75 dollar pet fee they do not advertise and “get you with” when you check in. Cost is overpriced for what they offer.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
This hotel is super clean and the staff were all friendly and attentive. The restaurants and coffee shop in the hotel are incredible. Our room was spotless, the bed was comfortable & the blackout curtains were nice so we could sleep in a bit for once. The room was also very cool which, as hot sleepers, is a major bonus! I will say, the wifi was pretty awful and unfortunately I had to pay for better wifi to be able to join Zoom meetings or even just browse the internet for things to do. So, if you are coming here for work or school be prepared to pay $$$. I also found it strange that housekeeping didn't come and take care of our room. One specific day we were out of the room before 9, came back in the evening, & the room was untouched. Overall, this is a really nice place to stay and a short drive from anything you could want to do in Lincoln.

Room makes weird noises and has a lot of flashing lights. Very hard to sleep in. Charged my credit card multiple times and didn’t change it after complaining. Also they said they have EV charger but they don’t. They poont you to an old EV charger a few blocks away that doesn’t even support NACS.
