The Spotlight on Sleep Inn & Suites Lincoln University Area

Relaxed Comfort Just Minutes from Lincoln’s Top Stages

Modern, clean, and welcoming, Sleep Inn & Suites Lincoln University Area is a 3-star hotel that delivers both convenience and comfort. Located just 4 miles from Lincoln Memorial Stadium and close to other key attractions like the University of Nebraska State Museum and Bob Devaney Sports Center, it's a smart pick for music fans visiting the city. With free WiFi, an indoor pool, hot tub, and 24-hour front desk, it’s got everything you need for a stress-free concert weekend.

Why Concert-goers love it

Music lovers appreciate how close the hotel is to major venues—just a short drive or ride away, so you won't miss a beat. After a loud night out, the peaceful location offers a quiet retreat for much-needed rest. With a 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM checkout, there’s enough flexibility to fit around late-night shows. Plus, the indoor hot tub is a hit with guests winding down after an energetic evening.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends heading to a show together will love the spacious rooms and communal vibe.
Solo travelers chasing that once-in-a-lifetime performance get a secure, calming place to recharge.
Couples making a weekend of it will enjoy the wellness amenities and quiet surroundings.
Fans needing recovery space will appreciate the peaceful setting and calming hot tub.
Budget-conscious music fans can enjoy quality without breaking the bank.

Food and Drink Options

While the hotel doesn’t offer on-site dining or 24/7 room service, free breakfast is available—a major plus after a late night. There are several local eateries within a short drive, making late-night cravings easy to satisfy. Vending machines and nearby fast food options help fill the gap.

Nightlife Options

Though the hotel itself is more of a wind-down zone than a party spot, Lincoln’s lively bars and lounges are a quick ride away. Whether you’re into laid-back breweries or energetic dance floors, you won’t have to go far to keep the night going.

What People Say

Guests consistently praise the cleanliness of the rooms, the friendly staff, and the quiet atmosphere. Many reviews highlight the comfort of the beds and the convenience of being close to the university and stadiums. The indoor pool and hot tub also get regular shout-outs.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the hotel is slightly tucked away, so it might require a GPS to find easily. Others note limited dining options within walking distance—but with a car or ride-share, it's no big deal.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers seeking a calm, clean, and comfortable base just minutes from Lincoln’s best venues, Sleep Inn & Suites Lincoln University Area hits all the right notes.

Peggy, Decorah, visiting Lancaster Event Center

The Sleep Inn was a wonderful surprise. Though the price was very reasonable, it never felt like a budget accommodation. The room was comfortable, nicely decorated; the morning breakfast offerings were well beyond what I usually find at the competition. I will definitely come back!

Liked: Friendly staff; immaculately clean; ice water and cookies on offer in the lobby.
Disliked: No complaints!

Exceptional

Liked: Our room was clean, quiet, & comfortable, and the hotel was located in a nice and quiet part of town, away from the highway, but not too far. We liked having 2 queens and a sofa sleeper for our family of 5. Our room was good size.

Exceptionally clean, quiet, and comfortable

Liked: The rooms are impeccably clean, high quality, the bed very comfortable. They were gracious to let me check in 2 hours early after a long drive from Chicago. The best place I've stayed in in the US over 3 weeks of travel. Would definitely return.
Disliked: The breakfast was very limited. The shower has very low water pressure.

Pleasant

Disliked: AC would not allow adjustment to lower temperature for sleeping. Seemed automatically set to 71° no matter what temperature the guest selects. Too warm for sleeping and short night as a result. The second elevator was still broken for two stays now. Big delays when the hotel is busy. First disappointing stay here.

Would not recommend it or...

Liked: Breakfast was good even tho we came down with 30 minutes remaining. I liked they had 3 luggage carts to use.
Disliked: This felt like very ‘used’ property. A lot of bad smells in different parts of the hotel, especially the halls. I’m guessing it need new carpet. Maybe an overall refresh. With that I feel the property was overpriced. Took awhile to be helped when first came in. Maybe have a bell? One of the elevators wasn’t working. There should have been signs at each level saying.
