The Spotlight on Econo Lodge Lincoln

Affordable Comfort Close to Lincoln's Live Music Scene


Econo Lodge Lincoln is a no-fuss, budget-friendly hotel located just under four miles from Lincoln’s top concert venues, including Pinnacle Bank Arena and the Lied Center for Performing Arts. With clean, air-conditioned rooms, free WiFi, and complimentary parking, this 2-star hotel is all about convenience for travelers who want to stay close to the action without breaking the bank.

Why Concert-goers love it


This hotel is a hit with music fans thanks to its short drive to Pinnacle Bank Arena and other central Lincoln venues. You can be back in your room within 10 minutes of the encore — perfect for beating post-concert crowds. The 24-hour front desk makes late check-ins a breeze, and the location near major roads and just 0.6 miles from Lincoln Airport is ideal for out-of-town guests. Rooms are quiet enough for a restful night’s sleep after a loud show.

Who this Hotel is great for


- Groups of friends looking for an affordable base near the music scene
- Solo travelers flying in for a bucket-list show
- Couples planning a weekend escape with live music
- Fans who want peace and quiet after a big concert
- Budget-minded music lovers who want value and location

Food and Drink Options


Start your day after a late night with a free continental breakfast, served daily. While the hotel doesn’t offer a full-service restaurant, there are several casual dining spots and fast food options nearby, especially along Cornhusker Highway. Perfect for grabbing a bite before heading to a show or after returning late.

Nightlife Options


While the hotel itself doesn’t feature an on-site bar or live music, you're just a few miles from downtown Lincoln’s bars, breweries, and nightlife. Whether you’re after craft cocktails or a laid-back pub vibe, the city’s nightlife is a short Uber or Lyft ride away.

What People Say


Reviews often highlight the hotel’s great value, clean rooms, and friendly staff. Guests appreciate the free parking, especially during busy event weekends, and love the location’s easy access to downtown and the airport. It’s a popular pick for travelers looking for simplicity and savings.

Areas for Improvement


Some guests note that the hotel is basic in style and amenities, and a few mention that the decor could use an update. If you're expecting luxury, this might not be the right fit — but for the price and location, it delivers solid value.

The Bottom Line


Econo Lodge Lincoln is a smart, affordable choice for concert-goers who want a clean, quiet place to crash just minutes from Lincoln’s live music venues.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Robin, Ottumwa, visiting Pinewood Bowl Theater

Next time I will spend a few extra bucks and stay at a nicer place.

Liked: Location was ok; bed was amazing but not worth the money considering all the negatives.
Disliked: Air conditioner made horrible noises; carpet was vacuumed but very stained and grungy; the bathroom door had cardboard in the jam to hold it shut; very strong mold, musty smell; staff was not polite; I could go on but I will stop there.

Passable

Liked: Parking is nice and open. There's 2 ways to get in/out.
Disliked: The toilet didn't flush (correctly?) Every time we pushed to flush it would just fill up with water and SLOWLY drain. But not enough to actually flush the toilet paper. We got in late though and left early in the morning so thankfully we didn't need to use the bathroom much. Told the guy up front when we left for check out. He didn't seem surprised or really concerned about it. Bathrooms are also super small. Just enough space to open the door so if you're a bigger person I wouldn't recommend. The lights iffy. Sometimes they worked right away and sometimes it took 3 times for them to turn on.
