Was unsure of what to expect with the mixed reviews I had read. Upon walking into the lobby I was thrown off by an unusual smell. At first I thought the smell was body odor, but after coming back later I realized it had to be something else as the smell was still present and the desk staff had changed.... More

For $39 a night this hotel is a steal. The comments about bad smells and those types of things are old. The interior hallways are clean and the carpet looks almost new. The rooms won't blow you away with flat screen TVs, etc., but they are clean and well kept up. The check-in was very friendly and easy. I typically... More

My recent stay at the Horizon Inn was a surprise. I was apprehensive because of the low price but it was a good find. The room was very clean and the whole building is smoke free with a $150 fine if someone smokes in a room. The room was very clean and fresh, the bed very comfortable, very quiet, and... More

If you are looking for a great family owned establishment in Lincoln, this is it. Small, quiet and possibly the most friendly staff around. This is a great value and we were certainly pleased with our stay there. It is close to the interstate and several restaurants.

We were happy to get a low priced hotel for a game day, checked it out on trip advisor, but didn't review enough of the reviews. We didn't expect great things, but it's advertised as a non-smoking hotel. Booked it through hotels.com and checked in. Discovering the smoking problem, we asked for another room, but none was available, and no... More

We wanted a cheap place since we were having to stop twice on our trip but I wish we would have spent just a little more. The carpet was disgusting, I kept my shoes on until bed and had to wash my sons feet before putting him down. The bed was hard and apparently the trend is to only have... More

Only one real restaurants close by and it that closes early. Mostly fast food. The room was not clean when we checked in. It was after the time when housekeeping had left so the desk clerk she'd give us our money back since they were full. Not a good option at 11:00 PM! She finally said she fix the room... More

I am a little confused by the large number of relatively positive reviews for this hotel on this website. We booked a pre-paid reservation at this hotel based on that fact and I honestly wondered what others experienced that made them so positive. Let me start by saying I understand that this is a budget hotel. I use budget hotels... More

Clean, basic, amazing value. Staff is extremely friendly. Breakfast is simple, cereal, oatmeal. They had a waffle maker but I didn't try it. Bed was on the firm side, but I'm usually pretty sensitive to that and I slept fine. For the money, will definitely be back on my next trip through Lincoln.

We were at this hotel twice - on the way to our destination, and on the way home. The first night we were there, I would have given the place a higher rating. On the plus side, it's easy to get to from the highway and they give you a discount at the Perkins across the street. It was clean,... More
