Harriet L, Omaha, visiting 1867 Bar Lincoln Thu, 12 December 2024

Seems like they just kept adding on more and more charges. It ended up costing over $200 and was barely in the room. Won't stay there again.

Liked: Clean and Breakfast.
Disliked: Expensive.

Liked: The hotel location, breakfast and 24 hour fitness center.
Disliked: There was not any complimentary water in the room, which is usually the norm for any room. The beverages were over priced. The room did not include any writing utensils or writing pads. Vehicle parking should be included in the room price and not an additional charge for hotel guests.

Liked: The hotel is super clean and comfortable and very secure parking. Great breakfast. Location is slightly removed from Haymarket, but definitely walkable.
Disliked: The street noise is really bad - even on 5th floor. A lot of cars revving and racing down O Street, which was the direction our room faced. Was a Friday night - not even during the university semester.
