Top Pawnee Lake State Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Graduate by Hilton Lincoln

10/10 Excellent

"Retro decorations /interior design was amazing! Loved the corn field drapes and wallpaper!"

Drury Plaza Hotel Lincoln Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, easy parking, spacious room, comfortable bed, nice bathroom and very good breakfast. Walkable to sports venues, bars, restaurants and shopping. Highly recommended."

Super 8 by Wyndham Lincoln West

8/10 Good

"The bed was wonderful! No complaints on that. We were in a king bed room and only had one towel. It was very late when we checked in so didn’t go to the front desk for another one. We just shared the one. Breakfast could have had more options but was adequate. Everything was clean and would definitely recommend"

Hampton Inn Lincoln Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean rooms, staff was extremely friendly and helpful getting us checked in. Location was easy to get to, right off I-80. Would definitely stay here again."

Fairfield Inn & Suites Lincoln Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The entire facility was extremely well maintained and clean. I will definitely stay here again. Really nice place and dogs can stay as well."

Wingate by Wyndham Lincoln Airport East I-80

10/10 Excellent

"Pool closed cold weather.. Staff helpful. Parking close.. AC works well. Room clean. Breakfast make your waffle, and other bread options like toast or bagel. Cereal multiple options. Warm food. Eggs, pork sausage. Fruit and condiments. Good money spent and value."

Rodeway Inn Lincoln West - University Area

8/10 Good

"Needs some updates. Cleanish. Could use a deep clean. Door did not latch right. Smaller bathroom. Works if you just need. Place to sleep and shower and aren’t spending a ton of time there."

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."

Studio 6 Lincoln, NE - Airport

8/10 Good

"Clean, under construction"
