Top Lincoln Hotel Reviews

Super 8 by Wyndham Lincoln West

Super 8 by Wyndham Lincoln West

8/10 Good
"First room we received smelled very musty and damp, They had just put new carpet down so maybe it was left moisture from cleaning. The access door on the back side of the building would not fully secure without excessive force. The second room we were given was better but the toilet rocked back and forth and there was what appeared to be black mold above the shower head. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was lacking restocking of the fruits and pastries, the pancake machine batter dosing setting was set to baseball diameter pancakes. The breakfast hours are cut to 9:30 like your getting a bums rush to get up and get out while check out isn't until 11:00. AC worked great,"

"Extremely clean. Super attentive. Beautiful grounds. Nice to always have someone at the front desk, if needed. Awesome staff. 24/7 coffee, hot chocolate, ice cream or slushie, water and fruit was a nice bonus. Convenient walk to Gateway Mall or St Elizabeth Hospital. Grateful for this place."

8/10 Good
"Everything was clean, the staff was friendly. It is in an out of the way location, so it is very quiet and convenient for where we needed to be. They are remodeling, so there was a lot of activity and additional noise. They did try to keep it from inconveniencing the guests, but it was right next door to our room, so unfortunately we did hear a lot. My main issues were I had asked on check-in (we were there for 2 nights) for a late check out and I was told to ask the next day, and then the next day. No one could give me a definite answer, so it was difficult to plan around. I understand that they had others wanting late check out also, but I feel like I could have been given a more definite answer since we asked 2 days before. Also, I had to double check the morning of, just to get confirmation. The hair dryer kept shutting off when in use and we had to reset it constantly to use it. The electrical outlet that it was permanently connected to was concerning. The door did not close or latch correctly, so we had to constantly check that it was latched, but there was still a lot of space between the door and frame. Minor issues - the overall stay was great and we would stay here again."
