The Spotlight on Hilton Garden Inn Lincoln Downtown/Haymarket

Comfort Meets Convenience in the Heart of Lincoln's Haymarket

Modern, welcoming, and perfectly located, the Hilton Garden Inn Lincoln Downtown/Haymarket is a 3-star hotel that puts you right in the heart of Lincoln’s vibrant downtown scene. Just a 12-minute walk from Lincoln Memorial Stadium and steps from Pinnacle Bank Arena, this hotel is an excellent base for music lovers and event-goers. With a full range of amenities including a sauna, hot tub, fitness center, and on-site restaurant, the hotel offers both comfort and convenience. The 24-hour front desk, airport transportation, and free WiFi make it an easy choice for a worry-free stay.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re within walking distance of major venues like Pinnacle Bank Arena and the Lied Center for the Performing Arts, making it a stress-free choice for catching your favorite show. After the encore, head back to a quiet, well-insulated room for a restful night. With a late check-out time of 12:00 PM, you can sleep in guilt-free. Bonus: the hotel offers airport transportation and is just 3.7 miles from Lincoln Airport, great for out-of-town fans.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking to pair a concert with a weekend downtown
- Solo travelers catching a once-in-a-lifetime performance
- Couples on a music-filled date weekend
- Fans needing post-show recovery in a quiet, clean space
- Budget-conscious travelers who still want comfort and location

Food and Drink Options

Hungry after the show? The on-site restaurant offers convenient dining, and room service is available 24/7. You’ll find vending machines with snacks and drinks throughout the hotel, and the surrounding Haymarket district is packed with walkable eateries and bars. Sleep in and enjoy a late breakfast — just ask the front desk about options.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself has a cozy bar and shared lounge, the real nightlife action is just outside. The Haymarket neighborhood is known for its craft breweries, cocktail bars, and live music spots. Whether you want to keep the night going or wind down with a drink, you’re in a prime location.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel’s downtown location, calling it "walkable to everything" and "perfect for concerts and events." Reviews frequently highlight the friendly staff, clean rooms, and quiet atmosphere. The hot tub and sauna also earn high marks for post-concert relaxation.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that parking can be a bit limited, especially on busy event nights, so arrive early if you’re driving. Others suggest that while the rooms are clean and comfy, decor feels a bit standard — but most agree the location makes up for it.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a comfortable stay just steps from Lincoln’s best venues, Hilton Garden Inn Lincoln Downtown/Haymarket hits all the right notes.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Mark, Omaha NE, visiting Pinnacle Bank Arena

We ordered a handicapped accessible room back in March. When we checked in the room had a bathtub (instead of a roll in shower) with no shower chair. We called the desk and they sent up a luggage rack to sit on in the shower - not acceptable! Next, they found an actual shower chair but when my wife looked at it, it had mold growing on the bottom! They came back and cleaned it. The room had very little sound-proofing - we constantly heard doors closing, footsteps in the hall and upstairs, and loud car stereos in the parking garage next door! I couldn't use the pool or hot tub in the morning because the handicapped lifts in the hot tub and pool did not work (no battery power). You'd think they would charge them overnight!

Disliked: Very noisy; handicapped rooms have bathtub - not a roll in shower; handicapped lifts in hot tub and pool did not work (no battery power).

Lisa, Lincoln, visiting Pinnacle Bank Arena

The rooms were very clean and well kept. All employees were helpful and kind. We didn't use the pool during our visit, but it also was well maintained, and it looked to be a fun place for kids.

Liked: Employees were very positive and helpful. With this being a first time visit to the hotel and arena, they took time to point out fun things and fun places to experience during the stay.
Disliked: None - our stay was great!

Liked: Excellent hotel, modern, “where life is happening”; location surrounded by many fine restaurants, drinking establishments; friendly staff, clean and quiet stay; liquid hand soap (!), wide selection of some of the best restaurants; laundry room too.
Disliked: Self parking is sparse, but inexpensive 24 hour rates available (bring walking shoes).

OK for business travel

Liked: Great location close to a number of good places to eat, easy to find, close by parking
Disliked: Maybe the breakfast could have been somewhat better, but being in the US, I guess this is the normal standard
