Americas Best Value Inn Lincoln

I dont expect much from a budget hotel at all. But hot water is something I would except. Rooms are basic as expected but nice. Front desk lady was quick and friendly. But the hot water alone is why I give it a 2 star otherwise itd be 5. After a long drive in negative temps and a ice storm i wanted to take a hot shower. With Hot turned all the way up its barely lukewarm. primary reason for stopping and didnt even get that.

Positive: "" Negative: Brand confused. Motel 6, Royal 8, or Americas Best Value? Not what expected for Americas Best.

Outside is well kept for an older facility, thought I found a diamond in the rough. Inside there was a literal haze of cigarette and weed smoke from the lobby all the way down the halls. Oddly enough the rooms all have a “no smoking or vaping in this room” sign, which I think everyone followed and just stepped out into the hall to suck a butt. Pass.

i had a very clean room room (and big), and the staff was so friendly. i spent 20 minutes trying to open a salsa jar and ended up taking it to the front desk at 1am lol. it’s always pretty quiet here too :)

The hotel is sketchy, lots of weird smells, far from sound proof walls! The room is nice, has fridge and microwave. Beds are decent.
