Top Pawnee Lake State Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

Horizon Inn Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice place to stay! Would stay again"

Hyatt Place Lincoln / Downtown - Haymarket

10/10 Excellent

"Have stayed there multiple times and enjoy the atmosphere. The staff are wonderful and the rooms are great."

Drury Plaza Hotel Lincoln Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Pleasant surprise how nice it was. Happy hour with snacks, breakfast, hot tub. Will definitely pick Again!"

Rodeway Inn Lincoln West - University Area

8/10 Good

"Needs some updates. Cleanish. Could use a deep clean. Door did not latch right. Smaller bathroom. Works if you just need. Place to sleep and shower and aren’t spending a ton of time there."

Econo Lodge Lincoln

8/10 Good

"We were traveling but it was game day in Lincoln. Most places were booked at sky-high prices. We wouldn’t ordinarily stay at an EconoLodge but it was what we could find at a price we were willing to pay. We had a good night’s sleep in a room that was safe, clean and quiet. The finishes were worn, scrubbing the inside of the exterior door would be an improvement. I have a CPap machine but there was no plug on my side of the bed so we strung the cord behind our pillows. I woke up several times in the night to make sure the power pack wasn’t overheating on the bed. Nothing was fancy, but it had most everything we needed and things like a fridge and microwave we didn’t use. We were pleasantly surprised."
