We enjoyed our stay

We made 2 trips to Lincoln this summer and both times stayed here. The room was very comfortable and there were plenty of amenities on the property. It was easy to get to from the freeway with a lot of dining opportunities close by. Breakfast was very good, there were a lot of choices and someone was always cleaning spills and filling up the hot items. Based on all of this, it will most likely be our choice if we ever visit the area in the future! Thank you!
