Nice safe area with a newer suburban feel, less than 5 minutes from the highway without the highway noise. Mike at the front desk was a friendly guy that made check-in a breeze. We love our clean, modern room and would absolutely stay here again!

Appreciated the Hospitality
We appreciated having the option of a room with two queen beds and a sofa bed. The room was clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. We also appreciated the extra touches of hospitality - cookies, water, newspapers in the lobby along with a small goody-bag upon departure.

We occasionally visit a parent who lives in the Autumn Woods 55 community nearby, and because we were traveling with our two dogs we tried MainStay for the first time and will never stay anywhere else when we need a hotel in Lincoln. That MainStay has rooms designated for people traveling with dogs is a bonus and greatly appreciated. But we would stay here again even without our dogs, but the hotel was clean, quiet, and the room spacious. Our suite had little kitchenette area with two stove burners, a microwave, dishwasher, 3/4 size refrigerator/freezer, 4 cup coffee maker, and cupboards with plates and silverware. Highly recommend, especially for travelers with dogs. If you are traveling with a dog and make your reservation on-line, you should contact the hotel directly by phone or email to let them know about your dog so that they can assign you to a dog-friendly room.

The staff was very friendly and the hotel was fabulously decorated with tons of Nebraska Huskers decor. The breakfast options were great. The hotel room was very clean and even had a full sized fridge with a stovetop for cooking along with cooking and eating utensils. The only negative during our stay was the hot tub was out of service due to a malfunction. This was not the hotel or staffs fault but was kind of a downer since I reserved the hotel for the hot tub. But otherwise the stay was fantastic and loved the Nebraska themed decor. For those Nebraska fans, the hotel has a paid option to ride the ‘red bus’ as in Nebraska bus from nearby the hotel directly to the front of the stadium and back to near the hotel after the game.
