Adequate

It was an ok hotel for the price. The interior of the room was clean and they did change our room for a different one when the toilet began to leak from the bottom. The halls of the hotel have moldy, stale smell. 6th street seems to be a drag racing strip in the city and we were up most of the night with cars racing.

I liked that it is located close to several historical areas. The hotel is old and bathrooms could use some proper repairs around the tub.

For the price, this was fine. If you are looking for a pool, or other amenities, they are lacking. Location allowed me to walk to the Lincoln Museum, Library and Pub/Restaurant. Walking down 5th street was a little sketchy, 6th was better. Front desk fought me when I requested late check out due to rental car delay-but last at front desk was nice enough to go up to my room and gather my suitcase and stuff and put behind front desk.

Given the reviews, I had higher expectations. The room was fine, but there was garbage behind the bathroom door. The previous occupant had a 6am alarm set, which went off during our stay, and housekeeping knocked on our door at 7:58am. (!!??)

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Our stay here was subpar. Elevator reeked of freshly smoked cannabis, old debris and trash under the beds and in corners of bathroom. Room keeping (a male) tried to barge in at 8 am by beginning to unlock the door as he announced that he was staff. I had 2 young ladies and my girlfriend changing or in bed at the time. I had to dash to get to the door and close it in time before he opened it and I was already standing nearby.
