Candlewood Suites Lincoln is an older, inexpensive hotel located in a nicer area of town, with gas stations, grocery stores, and restaurants within walking distance. Reviews note the rooms are spacious, clean, and well-kept for the price, featuring comfortable beds, soft pillows, kitchenettes, and effective air conditioning. The hotel offers a unique snack room like a mini grocery store and a lending corner with board games.
However, the stay can be inconsistent. Several guests reported multiple maintenance issues, including problems with air conditioning, electrical systems, a loud bathroom fan, and missing amenities like a blow dryer. One guest found a bug on the counter, and the lobby floor was noted as dirty. Staff service also varies; while many front desk clerks and maintenance personnel are described as fantastic, professional, courteous, friendly, and over-the-top helpful, one front desk clerk was cited as very rude and disrespectful.
Overall, experiences range from a really great, quiet stay with easy check-in to stays interrupted by significant problems, leading some guests to vow never to return.
The door of our room broke. So we changed rooms. The next room, the bed by the outside wall was right up ne t to the AC/heater, so it was not an area that got vacuumed. Yuck. The plus side, this was not a place that had kids running up n down the hallways, so it was quite.

Loved it here. Got the suite with the full kitchen and it cost almost the same as an average hotel room. And they allowed 18+ check in

Clean, pleasant, very comfortable room, excellent for spending the night and a good price.
